How much does it cost to take part in a collective action ?
Much less than if you took a lawyer alone for the same action !
The economic model of our platform is based on the mutualization of the costs of the procedure between the claimants of the collective action. In other words, the participants of a collective action share the costs which is a real advantage !
-
Can my insurance cover the costs ?
In some insurance contracts, you benefit from a "legal protection" guarantee, which allows you to be defended and represented in certain cases. You may also have a specific legal protection contract. In this case, your insurer can reimburse you for the costs of the action.
Please note that the guarantee generally covers limited areas of intervention (for example road accidents, joint ownership claims, etc.). Be aware that everything depends on the insurance contract and the company. Do not hesitate to call the legal assistance service of your insurance in order to see with them directly, with regard to the subject of the action, if the costs can be covered.
If this is the case, most of the time you just need to send them the invoice, possibly accompanied by the fee agreement, to be reimbursed.
-
Collective action or Class action ?
Collective action :
Collective legal action is handled by a single lawyer. It is a grouped defense, in which several individual proceedings are launched at the same time. In a collective action, each plaintiff acts autonomously. The plaintiff has the possibility of reaching an out-of-court settlement with the opposing party, who proposes it, enabling him or her to obtain easy compensation.
Class action :
A class action is brought by an association or trade union acting on behalf of several victims of the same injury. Consequently, the plaintiffs are not autonomous, and the damage is not recognized on an individual basis. Compensation is not individual, and is therefore conditional on the court's decision.
