You don't need a lawyer, a case number, or even to know a lawsuit exists. ClaimYourRight finds the ones you qualify for and walks you through filing in minutes.
Good news: Over 90% of class actions settle before a verdict — most cases reach the payout stage without years of court proceedings. The key is submitting your claim before the deadline.
A lawyer files a class action on behalf of everyone affected — you don't need to do anything at this stage. The lawsuit covers thousands or millions of people automatically.
The case moves through pre-trial proceedings. Evidence is gathered, motions are filed, and hearings take place. Most cases never reach a full trial — they settle beforehand.
Over 90% of class actions settle before a verdict. Defendants agree to a payout to avoid prolonged litigation. A judge reviews the deal to ensure it's fair for all class members.
Once a settlement is approved, a claims period opens — usually 3 to 12 months. Submit a simple online form to register. After the period closes, eligible claimants receive their share via cheque, e-transfer, or direct deposit.
The claim period ends and the case is officially closed. Any unclaimed funds may be redistributed or returned. This is why acting before deadlines is critical — once a case closes, you lose your chance to claim.
