    Such an attitude is exactly what they’re counting on. Fewer claims, less payout.

    🤷‍♂️ 🤦‍♀️

    You may not be taking them for much… But take everything you can.

      No. They will reach a dollar figure, and divide that amongst the claimants (and law firm). More claimants does not mean a higher settlement.

        What you say is true to that extent… That’s nothing to do with my point…

        Anyone not making a claim is unnecessarily leaving money on the table that will eventually (possibly) be rewarded back to the offender.

        I’m saying just take them for everything you can, regardless of “hoops”, even if it doesn’t seen like that much. In the aggregate, we’re causing more financial pain rather than less.

        What’d you miss in what I said?? (he asks rhetorically…)

        🤷‍♂️

          Fewer claims, less payout.

          That’s what I was responding to. The company is paying out the same regardless of however many people file a claim. If you meant something else, that was unclear.
