Legal Question in Civil Litigation in Florida

VA Class Action

I served in the military from 1987 to 1993. I heard about the stolen VA disc and received a letter from the VA with advice of what to look for. I read there is a class action suit for this event. Would this cover all veterans that are in the data base or just veterans in a group that hired private attorneys? If so, who would I contact?

NOTE: This communication is not intended as and should not be interpreted as legal advice. Rather, it is intended solely as a general discussion of legal principles. You should not rely on or take action based on this communication without first presenting ALL relevant details to a competent attorney in your jurisdiction and then receiving the attorney's individualized advice for you. By reading the "Response" to your question or comment, you agree that the opinion expressed is not intended to, nor does it, create any attorney-client relationship, nor does it constitute legal advice to any person reviewing such information, nor will it be considered an attorney-client privileged communication. If you do not agree, then stop right here, and do not read any further.

Class actions are filed to cover everyone in the class which is the Plaintiff in the action. You are generally notified and given the option to "opt out" if you choose but there is no guarantee that the attorneys for the class will be able to reach every member of the class.

There are many sites on the nets that give information about pending cases. Some of them include: http://www.lawyersandsettlements.com/ and http://classaction.findlaw.com/settlements/index.html

I have not heard of any pending action, but one may surely follow. You can also search the internet in any search engine such as Google.
