Hertz Nevada Car Rental Class Action Refund
– A judge has ruled that the Hertz Corporation violated Nevada law by identifying the “airport concession recovery fee” as a separate line item in its contracts instead of including it in the base rental price. Consumers who rented cars from the Las Vegas or Reno airports could be entitled to a refund of the airport concession recovery fees they paid, plus interest.
GM Recalls Additional 8.2M Vehicles Due to Ignition Switch Defect – Last week, General Motors announced a recall of an additional 8.2 million cars, bringing the total number of GM recalls this year to more than 28 million vehicles. GM has reported 13 deaths linked to the ignition switch defect, but legal experts are concerned the actual number is much higher. If you or a loved one were injured or killed in a car accident related to the GM ignition switch recall, you could be eligible to participate in a class action lawsuit and pursue compensation.

Update from the President and CEO of Top Class Actions
Good morning everyone! What a crazy week! Did you enjoy a long weekend? Most of my team took a half day on Friday (unless they’re in a position to work ahead.) Unfortunately when you’re with a media company there aren’t any holidays because cases are being settled, litigated, and filed daily. That means that Friday morning meant wading through cases filed on Thursday and getting updates posted. In addition, I got to deal with a technical issue where roughly HALF of you didn’t receive the newsletter last Tuesday. The other half received it on Saturday. Thankfully the team at InfusionSoft worked through the holiday AND Saturday to help track down the issue. Thanks to Lyle and Elizabeth at InfusionSoft for the help! Fingers crossed all 120,000 of you get the newsletter today!
On the home front, we had a HUGE dust storm blow through on Thursday night. If you follow me on Facebook you saw the pictures. It was our first dust storm of the monsoon season. Unfortunately dust storms are an expected devil in Phoenix. Winds topped 40 MPH and caused a bit of havoc before our planned 4th of July BBQ. Wind knocked down trees, a streetlight, and some shingles off my roof. The wind also blew my daughters playhouse into the pool. “Daddy, our house is in the pool! DADDDYYYY!!!!!!!!” Don’t worry, I fished it out :) The storm also meant that I got to spend a few hours cleaning the pool Thursday night and Friday morning so we could use it Friday afternoon. Living in Phoenix can be INTERESTING!
That’s all of the updates in Phoenix… Here are the latest lawsuit updates!
