Love your work! Much gratitude! I'd like to comment on "Because this action does not set any legal precedent. There is no case law to cite for future cases." The truth is, there is no such thing as case law. It's made up by the judicial system. Only Congress can make laws. The Judicial branch of govt is the weakest by design as they are not elected by the people. As one politician aptly put it: "The Supreme Court could be Justice Roberts sitting at a card table with a candlestick."
I agree with you. The idea that some attorney or judge interpretation of the law creates "new law" does not make sense. And, the fact that this case was never ruled on weakens the defense for such cases in the future.
After being turned down 4 times in 30 YEARS of applying for benefits for my brother a marine disabled in Vietnam, the VA finally had pity and gave him a ridiculous 10% for his permanent disability. He hit a land mine (long story)... https://www.givesendgo.com/gcwpz What they tell you, and what they DO is NEVER the same thing. He was proud to serve his country, but his country was NOT proud to serve him. The Seals got screwed once by the Navy, then burned a second time. Boy does this story sound so VERY familiar to me!! Peggy you just brought back memories or should I say a 30 year nightmare. To say I am not at all surprised by this is the understatement of the decade!
What a crock of 💩 For all the stress they went through just for the lawsuit alone is enough to have awarded each plaintiff some monetary benefit instead they worked it out to be money grubbers themselves. This has to be a set up.
As the word says, “The LOVE of money is the root of all evil.”
I agree Peggy…they need to pursue better representation.

I am so sorry to hear of this travesty!
I wonder. I’m suspicious. No compensation?

You are so right! I hope they sue!
It is always the details that matter, not the settle headline. Attorneys are self serving.
Service people had their records corrected, having no precedent set.
Evil doers thus may and likely will do the exact same thing.
