Even if you haven’t received a class action notice but you hear news about a case where you might have been impacted, with a little research you can find out if the case is still pending and whether you can file a claim. </p> <p>Consumer Action, a San Francisco-based nonprofit, has a consumer-friendly <a href="https://www.consumer-action.org/lawsuits/" target="_self">website</a> that allows you to search its Class Action Database for significant class actions. You can find out if a case is open, pending or closed. Deadlines for filing a claim are noted.
