It depends on your situation, but joining a class-action settlement is usually beneficial. If you do not want to bring your own suit (which requires a lot more time and money), joining a class-action lawsuit is often a good idea. Joining the class-action lawsuit may be the only way for you to be compensated for your employment law claims or financial losses. If you are unsure of whether you should join a class-action lawsuit, speaking to a class-action attorney can help you make up your mind.
