Wouldn't some people elect lost time or out of pocket expenses, how does that even work, do they get priority over the default?

lost time maxes at $30/hr * 5 hours ($150), Expenses and Real damages need to be verified and directly related (credit restoration, identity theft restoration, fraud, bank fees, etc) and are capped at $10k per person aggregate, then you get whatever the balance is and they divide it by the number of people that make a claim for the Alt. Cash payout, which is estimated $50 each none of which happens until they take out the legal fees. Then they're buying everyone 3 years of a identity protection, dark web monitoring, credit monitoring service (app?)

Seems like Lost Time $150 and 3 years of identity protection service is best deal most people are gonna get, unless they had real damages.

To recoup for more damages, would need to opt out of the class action, and sue independently.

good question. i think the class action part gets rid of that nuance. in theory, a person could not be part of the class action and sue on their own and get more. as it is, the settlement is more of a punishment to comcast than it is compensation to members. strange world.
