2. Access To Claimant
Background Data Is Vital
• When it comes to the availability of claimant contact data,
frequently a defendant’s negotiating strategy poses negative
down stream impact on the people locating and claimant
notification process.
• If not countered, in the early stages
of the class action process, that
strategy often renders the value of
an individual settlement worthless
to many, if not the majority, of
potential claimants.
• In other words, claims can’t materialize if the claimant isn’t
duly notified of the class action!

3. Looking Down The Road
• In the early stages of class litigation, anticipate future needs
in terms of having access to reliable address information
(current and former) for each claimant.
• That step will establish the information
ultimately required from the defendant’s
records (willingly provided or otherwise
court ordered) enabling the greatest
number of claimants to be contacted.
• A professional search firm can assess the data (content and
geographic area) to forecast ratio of success at locating
claimants.
