    Does the Lead Plaintiff get more than everyone else?

    • @USLawEssentials
      @USLawEssentials  2 года назад +1

      Typically lead plaintiffs are awarded an 'incentive fee' to act as the lead plaintiff or in return for their work as lead plaintiffs. These fees must be approved by the court.

    In a class action, one party (the class representative) represents a defined group of class plaintiffs or defendants (class members). There are different kinds of class actions. This video discusses one type of class action where a class of plaintiffs seek money damages.

    How do I make a class action lawsuit against Motor Vehicles
    The issue is Motor Vehicles in charge of who drives and who doesn't but they don't care about how a good driver or bad drive they care about how much money you can pay so you can drive I don't think that's the way to do the job

    Yes. If one person buys a manufactured home from a dealer. And you find out. Several other people bought from the same dealer and didn't get what they paid for and got screwed. Can you all join and Sue this man for damages?

      Did you don't an answer? I'm wondering if the lead plaintiff is a lawyer representing the plaintiff class. The illustrations in the video kinda give that impression.

    • @USLawEssentials

      Hi Rabbit. I can't give advice on a particular case and I don't know who you mean by "we", but generally speaking class actions can be filed based on police misconduct. When a class action lawsuit is filed based on police misconduct I believe the city is usually named as a defendant and individual police officers are also often included as defendants.

    In my opinion, Officers of the Court engaged in public defense should have the duty and obligation to file class actions on behalf of the disenfranchised, in one case the Homeless. We should have no homeless problem in an at-will employment State with equal protection of our at-will employment laws for unemployment compensation.

      I'm curious to know how did your name get place in the first place? Did you sign previously class action of something else? Im thinking of claiming a settlement for something through a website that offers many other cases to file lawsuit, but I don't want my name to be place else where I don't know of.
