just got a ckeck from Toyota... class action lawsuit
I just got a check from Toyota for about $9 for some class action law suite.
What is this all about? Does this involve the Yaris? I also bought new a Celica in '02 Edit..... I found this site with the particular class action suit info that is mentioned in the info with the check. Did the Yaris have gas pedal issues that I'm not aware of? https://www.toyotaelsettlement.com/ It might be that all Toyota owners who who purchased a Toyota during the years years involved will eventually receive a a small check.....even it they never filed a claim or had a model involved in the pedal.....as part of the settlement.

I got a check from that program earlier this year ($125, I think). I owned a 2007 Corolla, and that made me eligible for some money. I know that doesn't answer your question, but I thought I'd share.

Could they make it any more obvious the only people that make out is the lawyers?

'keep them honest'....in whatever limited capacity that exists, it is largely a byproduct, not the goal. There isn't much altruism among lawyers, and much of what seems to exist is faux altruism (IMO). There are quite a few lawyers in my family (too many ). One is the head of the sex crimes division of a county DA's office. She is the only lawyer in my family with a significant amount of altruism in her soul. Also, this may be a distinction without a difference, but another (younger) attorney in my family (she graduated from law school in California in 2004, passed the bar in California the same year, and is now practicing) told me that a lawyer is anyone who graduated from law school and an attorney has passed the bar and has his/her license to practice (FWIW, all of the law school graduates in my family have passed the bar and are practicing).

Altruism doesn't put food on the table by it's self. You must have a case.
Anyone practicing law in Ca is under suspicion of something:) The state that does the most to pervert legal view IMHO. People blame lawyers for all kinds of problems. What kind of world would it be if it were run by insurance companies? Byproduct or not it doesn't lessen the end result. Norton |

Exactly why many attorneys should be doing something else rather than practicing law...have to compromise their ethics to make a buck.

In case you mean these to be together (the 'you' being a plaintiff, rather than me personally), people bring baseless lawsuits all the time, and are paid to go away because that is cheaper than litigation. This might be less of an issue going forward IN TEXAS, because we passed a form of 'loser pays' (if you lose, you pay for the legal costs of the other person, as well as your own). This passed, despite the big money behind the opposition....PRIMARILY 13 MILLION USD FROM THE TEXAS TRIAL LAWYER'S ASSOCIATION .

I got just over $29 for the 07 and 09. Used it to pay Scott as part of my payment for the supercharger..... A very very small part.

So they send these tiny checks and don't even tell you what it's for?
I haven't got anything [yet]. |

I remember vividly a few years back when there was a huge public outcry in Canada to reduce automobile insurance premiums. This outcry was because the insurance industry as a whole generated a profit on automobile insurance for the first time in years. What really made me shake my head at the time was the profit made, by all of the Canadian insurers for the year, was about equal to what just one of the 4 major banks in the country reports as a quarterly profit.
