WIth my vast experience in class-action law, I seem to recall that you don't have to join. They sue on your behalf and it's up to you to opt out if you don't like it (they send you a little notice: "Hi, we're your new lawyers unless you tell us otherwise. Have a nice day.") So then you don't get to participate in the whatever settlement they negotiate. You have to get your own lawyer and sue them yourself, assuming you feel that it's justified. This happened with the silicone breast implant suite against Dow Corning. Some women decided to pursue their cases themselves instead of staying in the class. Anyone with real knowledge care to comment?
