There is no average or median number that can answer this question. The amount you receive individually relies on several factors, including:
The cost of the injuries or damages done overall
How many other people are signed onto the case
The settlement or verdict decided
Some class action lawsuits can be as small as pocket change (a refund for a recalled product) or as large as necessary to account for injuries (emergency care if you consumed a toxic product later recalled).
Some class action cases do not end in monetary awards only, and may involve additional solutions known as “remedies.” These can include other forms of compensation such as vouchers/coupons for future products or services, consequences like firings or delicensings of wrongdoers, and clean-up actions/reforms to undo as much damage as possible and prevent future harm.
Class action lawsuits often have the effect of informing the public of various legal issues and health risks. By participating in a class action, you are often raising awareness for others who might not know about the issue.
