Legal Filing Threatens Payout Process for Verizon’s Settlement Fund – Details and Implications
Verizon’s $100 million settlement is facing potential delays due to a new legal challenge. The settlement, intended to pay out up to $100 per customer who paid an Administrative and Telco Recovery Charge between 2016 and 2023 has been complicated by the recent intervention of two law firms. This intervention if granted, may impact the final approval of the settlement, potentially delaying payouts to affected customers.
The legal filing by Murphy Advocates and Goldstein, Russell & Woofter introduces a motion for intervention, adding complexity to the settlement. This could extend the process and disrupt the expected payout to impacted consumers.
The intervention seeks to ensure adequate protection for Verizon’s customers, potentially prolonging the settlement process and impacting the final hearing’s fairness to all parties. It may lead to further challenges to the suit, adding layers of complexity to the resolution of the case.
