Q: I'm part of the Steam Class Action Lawsuit from Bucher Law. I've contacted them to pull me from the case.
I entered into the class action suit. If I read it correctly, I won't owe them anything until I get a settlement. It's been a few years and my life has taken a few turns. I can't risk owing them more than I win (I've accumulated medical debt and am worried I will be leaving my family debt if things don't end well for me.) I've contacted them multiple times to pull me from the case and they have not responded. I do have dates and times of contacting them. What do I do from here? I'm in California. Edit: I'm so sorry I thought this said "person inquiry" not "personal injury."

A: Unfortunately, you have to be patient. These cases can take many years. Typically, if the case settles, the will be a (hopefully, large) settlement with the entire "class". A portion of the settlement will be attributed to your case. The attorney will receive their fees and costs from the settlement. You "should" owe nothing out-of-pocket - ever.
