Frequently Asked Questions

Ultimately, it depends on your situation.

Class action lawsuits can absolutely be worth it for the individual who is part of a large class and has a relatively small claim. If you file a lawsuit individually the cost can outweigh the benefit since the process of suing for damages can cost a great deal of time and money.

If you are part of a class you will certainly be represented by a class action attorney who is experienced and highly skilled. You will likely have representation that would be normally unaffordable.

Keep in mind, if you feel that you have a more substantial claim than the rest of the class it may be wise to opt-out of a class action lawsuit. If you are part of a class action suit you can not sue individually at a later date. This is why it is wise to consult with an experienced class action attorney before making a decision.

Although the individual claim may seem small, the cumulative damage to a large group of people might make it worth it.

The court must approve how payment is distributed. Payment distribution is always outlined in the settlement agreement. The judge can order modifications to a settlement agreement if it is unfair, unreasonable, or inadequate.

If the defendant loses or decides to pay a settlement to end the litigation, the money is put into a settlement fund, the attorneys are paid for their services, and the rest of the settlement disbursed to the claimants. If you are part of the class you are eligible to receive payment.

Depending on the type of class action, the settlement can be distributed in different ways. Generally, a Settlement Claims Administrator is appointed by the court. A Settlement Administrator is a neutral third-party who is in charge of identifying class members and disbursing payment.

The Settlement Administrator will make efforts to notify eligible people through publication, mail, email, or over the phone.

Depending on the nature of the lawsuit payment is in different forms.

If you are a member of the class in a class action suit and you lose, you do not receive any compensation. Additionally, you forfeit your right to sue individually in the future.

With that in mind, if you feel that you suffered more damages than other people involved in the class action, it might be worth it to opt-out and file an individual claim.

A class must be certified by the court in order to proceed with a class action.

Federal Rule of Civil Procedure, Rule 23 provides that an action requires four conditions to qualify for class treatment: (1) the class must be so numerous that joinder of all members is impracticable, (2) there must be questions or law or fact common to the class, (3) the claims of the representative parties must be typical of the claims of the class, and (4) the representative parties will fairly and adequately protect the interests of the class.

Benefits of Participating In a Class Action Lawsuit?

Smaller Injuries: If a group of people suffer minor injuries or financial harm, it might be too expensive to pursue an individual lawsuit. However, the value of the claims add up and allow for effective prosecution when combined with other individuals.
Impractical Litigation: Because a class action lawsuit brings together multiple claims at once, the process is much more efficient. The costs are shared amongst the class members instead of just one claimant.
Cost-Savings: Because the litigation is combined, the cost is greatly reduced in a class action. The same experts, witnesses, and documents can be used once, rather than hundreds of times.

Client Testimonials

In the aftermath of a significant life changing “not at fault” motor vehicle accident, there were many times of darkness, confusion, self doubt and feelings of injustice…. feeling as if I were alone in a dark corner.

Attorney Eric Ryberg and the staff at Habush Habush & Rottier were a bright light in that dark corner. A light to show the correct path out of the darkness. A light to illuminate the pathway to justice, fairness, and common sense in a world where it seems more difficult to find truth and benevolence in all of life’s happenings and experiences.

Truth. Justice. Fairness. Common sense. Genuine. These words are at the core of the structural foundation of the expert legal representation I received from Attorney Eric Ryberg and his team on my behalf. They fought for these things relentlessly…never gave up. They never compromised truth. Never compromised the fight for justice, fairness, or common sense. And because of this, they were able to deliver redemption and justice to the very maximum limit allowed by law.

Never give up. Never settle for anything less than the absolute truth. Never settle for anything but absolute justice. Never settle for legal representation from just any law firm.

Choose Habush Habush & Rottier. Choose Eric Ryberg. Experience the light in the darkness. The light that leads to absolute truth. And uncompromised justice. Light up the darkness.

I worked with Benjamin on a car accident case and he truly went above and beyond. He stayed on top of my case for four years. He was incredible and extremely dedicated. I would recommend him to anyone. Benjamin was also responsive, knowledgeable and kept me informed no matter how small the detail. Habush Habush & Rottier S.C. ® was great and Benjamin is an outstanding, caring and compassionate attorney.

Habush Habush and Rottier/HHR: The very best law firm around for auto accident cases. Period, end of discussion. Please trust me when I say they have your back from start to finish, no matter the time it takes to complete your case. I knew nothing about this law firm prior to my initial consultation other than the fact my father spoke so highly of them; as he eloquently put it they’ve been ranked as the best of the best in law firm surveys. My father said, this top notch caliber law firm is where other attorneys would go for representation or advice, that’s how good they are. My father was right on this advice, thank you dad!
Takes a fraction of time to change someone’s life forever for worse or for better. In my case it was from an auto accident where I found my hero at HHR who helped me beyond words of gratitude on the long road of healing. Believe me it can often feel like a lonely road to walk but with the right support it makes every step of the journey that mush easier to navigate. From my experience HHR vigorously turned over every stone to make it right. I’m not one to drop names but this is my review so I’m going to give credit where credit is due..to the best attorney I know, Eric Ryberg! Please ask for Eric by name and when you meet tell him Brandon from the review suggested his service, and share a smile because you’re in good company.
I wrote this review from from the bottom of my heart from one auto accident victim to another, focus on your recovery and let HHR focus on the rest. Like the Prairie du Sac Dam regulates water flow, HHR will keep you informed in a timely manor about your case with a steady flow of utmost important information. This way you’re informed without being overwhelmed. The best way others can thank me with gratitude for my ‘fatherly advice’ is to share your experience from HHR and together we will ensure that help gets to those involved in an accident. God bless you and your family and full speed ahead on your recovery.

Two of my children were involved in an automobile accident. With people injured both physically and mentally from the ordeal, I knew I needed to get an attorney to represent my kids who clearly were not at fault in this incident. Being new to Wisconsin, I called my attorney friend in Michigan who is a partner in a very high profile international law firm. He did some research for me to find the best attorney’s in Wisconsin based on their record. He recommended Ben Wagner at Habush. Let me tell you, it was the best phone call I could have made!

Rather than believing the marketing hype and advertising in the greater Milwaukee area about another law firm, I trusted an attorney to find the best attorney based on his record for his clients. In the end, Ben delivered! He negotiated a settlement that exceeded our expectations, which at least minimized some of the hardship created from this accident.

I would also like to add, going beyond the settlement itself, is to speak to Ben’s demeanor. You don’t just get a top attorney with Ben, you get a family man that is approachable and easy to talk with who answers all your questions and respects you throughout the process. He is the utmost professional!
