    Default 🤔 250,000 veterans agree to $6B settlement with earplug company

    👂A $6 billion settlement involving roughly 250,000 veterans will move forward in a lawsuit that argued faulty earplugs were sold to the military for use during the Iraq and Afghanistan wars. For the settlement, 98% of service members and veterans with claims had to agree to it. 3M, the Minnesota-based company that made the earplugs, announced Tuesday that 99% of claimants are on board.

    Lemme guess the lawyers get $5.9Billion and the victims get giftcards to buy new earplugs. Yay Justice!
    Rules are written in the stone,
    Break the rules and you get no bones,
    all you get is ridicule, laughter,
    and a trip to the house of pain.

    Maybe you're a victim of faulty 3m earplugs.

    In my limited experience, the "settlement" that class members agree to does not include attorney's fees. They are a separate line item in the agreement, and typically involve less argument between sides than the money divvied up to the masses. The included veterans should get around $24,000 each, before any applicable taxes (some settlement monies are taxable, and some are not.)
