Update from the Editor in Chief of Top Class Actions

Happy Tuesday!

It’s hard to believe we’re half-way through July already. Summer goes by so fast. Somehow I escaped a predicted 100-degree day yesterday during a half-marathon race in wine country. Luckily some rain clouds moved in to keep it at a tolerable 66 degrees. It thundered and rained for a couple minutes, but it was at the 12-mile mark so we were all happy for the brief cool down. Today I’m nursing a sore foot and filling in for Scott as he shuttles his family to their annual summer vacation destination out of the furnace they call Phoenix.

Summertime also means lots more class action settlements to report on! Check out all new settlements you can file claims for above, and the new class action updates below. We’re staying busy so YOU can claim money!
