Together with their attorneys, the class representative makes decisions about how a class action should proceed. The class representative works with their attorneys to vindicate the rights of all those affected by the issues in the class action.
The class representative is the “little guy” who fights the giant. The class representative knows that all too often big companies get away with cheating people out of relatively small sums of money because the companies know that it is not worth one’s time or money to go after the company in such a situation.
You should consider becoming a class representative if you believe that you were harmed
and you want to help yourself as well as others in similar circumstances.
