If you've ever bought a product, signed up for a service, or even used a website, you could be eligible for cash compensation in 2025—and not even know it. Every year, companies quietly settle lawsuits involving deceptive advertising, data breaches, hidden fees, and more. But most consumers never file a claim—either because they’re unaware or think it’s too complicated.

What Are Class Action Settlements—and Why Should You Care?

Class actions are legal cases where a company is sued on behalf of a group of people who were affected similarly. Instead of hundreds of individual lawsuits, one big case decides the outcome—and eligible consumers can claim part of the settlement.

Settlements range from a few dollars to hundreds per person, and in some cases, no documentation is required to file.
