Class representatives and named-plaintiffs have greater responsibilities than individuals who simply join in the action. But if you join in the action as an opt-in plaintiff or participate in some other way as a class member, you may be required to respond to written questions (interrogatories) or be questioned by the attorney representing the defendant (deposition). You may also be requested to appear at trial to support a claim for compensation (witness). If you have any further questions, please do not hesitate to contact our office.
