Verizon Wireless is paying $100 million back to monthly phone plan users in the Verizon Administrative Charge Settlement. Here’s the low-down.

Class Member Criteria
🗓️ Have a Verizon Wireless plan between January 1, 2016 - November 8, 2023?
📱 Pay that bill at the end of the month (i.e., wasn’t a pre-paid plan)?

Yes to both? If you answered yes to both of these, you could be eligible to reclaim your share of the record $100 million settlement!

What Happened?
Verizon allegedly charged you a monthly administrative fee or a telecom recovery fee unfairly and without adequate disclosure.

What’s That Mean?
It means that if you qualify (based on the class criteria above), you could be eligible to a repayment of $15 - $100, depending on how long you’ve had an active account and how many people file their claim.

If you don’t qualify (e.g., don’t have a Verizon plan), don’t submit a claim. But don’t worry, we’ll hit you on the next one!

☑️ How class actions are practical
☑️ How they streamline the process
☑️ And, how they level the playing field for the small guy

🤔 Why are Class Actions a Powerful Legal Tool?

Why would anyone consolidate multiple individual actions into a single lawsuit when everyone could pursue their own case? Well, there are a few reasons...

Practicality 
It's often found that combining these individual actions into a single lawsuit is frequently more practical for the plaintiff, the court, and the defendants involved, meaning that the courts see results and ensure that all class victims are able to receive an equitable distribution of the harm caused. 

Streamline the Process 
Class actions involve a singular set of witnesses, experts, documents, and issues, making it simpler and more cost-effective for a single law firm to manage one comprehensive case, rather than multiple firms handling multiple separate cases. 

Multiple cases / plaintiffs / lawsuits over the same issue can involve different judges, courtrooms and can slow down the legal system. Early plaintiffs may successfully win and receive all of the insurance proceeds or the defendant's assets, but then leave little or no compensation for those who win their cases at a later stage. Class actions work well because they only involve a single judge and courtroom, preventing congestion in court schedules caused by duplicative cases.

Larger Scale Levels the Playing Field
Increased scale can help level the playing field. How? Corporations are facing many claims now, meaning there is an increased likelihood of settling the case and also incentivizing genuine change in its conduct to avoid this in the future. But why does this level the playing field? Oftentimes it would be hard to make a case for damages that wouldn’t be worth the expense to pursue separately - but together the scales tip. Here’s an example: 

A bank might be charging illegal fees of $20 to $100 dollars to millions of customers. Because the damages are so small, it wouldn't be worth the time, effort, and expense for a lawyer to bring a $100 lawsuit for each and every customer. BUT, one class-action case claiming several hundred million dollars on behalf of millions of Americans is worth the time of the class members, lawyers and the court system.
