Yes, joining a class-action lawsuit is an option. It allows multiple plaintiffs to file a claim together, sharing legal resources and potentially increasing the efficiency of the legal process.

Lawsuits typically take 1-3 years to resolve, though some cases settle more quickly. Factors affecting timeline include case complexity, evidence strength, and court schedules.

You may still qualify for a lawsuit if you can prove you owned an affected vehicle and suffered injuries or damages while it was in your possession.
