I was reading my favorite entertainment magazine this morning when I came across one of those full page ads concerning a pending class action lawsuit. The subject was mesothelioma caused by environmental factors. Those effected could send away for a chunk of the settlement. Most of the time, these class action suits end up getting each person a few cents. I was involved in a credit card settlement once, got my check in the mail for .04 cents. It cost them more for postage!
