TCA Staff Tidbit: Quite a simple class action lawsuit settlement in this case versus the Sports Authority. In this case Sports Authority used to request your zip code and/or “Personally Identifiable Information.”

Thankfully it’s a relatively easy claim process. Just print out the claim form, fill it out and send it in. After that just wait for your $20 voucher to arrive. Something to note is that there’s no “pot” to take money out of. The Sports Authority isn’t expecting a high claim rate. How can we tell? Typically the attorney fee for a class action lawsuit settlement is around 30% of the total. In this case the total settlement amount would be about $215,000. Of that $215,000 about $140,000 would be divvyed out to class members. So, no amount is going to charity, anyone who doesn’t claim their award just loses out on $20 for no apparent good reason so MAKE YOUR CLAIM NOW!
