A “class” action means that there are a large number of plaintiffs, not defendants.
If you were named as a defendant, you were entitled to be served with notice of the lawsuit. If you were not served, you should contact an attorney to review your options.

Probably because they believe facts which aren’t so. Like whether a reasonably prudent pre-trip inspection would have disclosed the defect. Or like whether you are the individual responsible for maintaining the trailer.

The title of the car was formalized in his name during our marriage. He sold the car during divorce proceedings. I have not received half of the sale. Am I entitled to half of the amount it was sold for?

However, in making a just and right division of your community estate, your divorce court may consider the sale proceeds, and how such proceeds have been used by your husband.
