It's like class-action lawsuits: sure, maybe you get $2.43, but the lawyers are really the beneficiaries. The individual is just used to justify the whole thing

- HarryHirsch 5y agoNo, the lawyer's job in a class action is to hold the someone accountable to prevent recurrences. They did a job, so they ought to be paid. If some company habitually breaks the law and causes damages to a large group of people you can either pray that the Attorney General takes the case (but they won't, they want to advance their political career) or a law firm will take the case out of pure financial interest. I'll go with the law firm.
