Update - A lawsuit has been filed on our behalf. Now we must continue to wait. The bellweather cases should start going to trial early next year.
After the bellweather cases go to trial, the best case scenario would be for the manufacturers to realize just how much money they will have to pay out in lawyer's fees, etc., if each case goes to trial separately and offer a lump settlement.
If the manufacturers don't offer some kind of lump sum, then we'd have to wait our turn to go to trial.
