Where the money is going
This is a claims-made settlement: there is no fixed fund, and Warrior Met Coal pays each valid claim directly. Attorneys' fees, costs, expenses, the service award, and notice and administration costs are all paid by Warrior separately and do not reduce what class members receive. Each class member's combined recovery for lost time, ordinary losses and actual monetary losses is capped at $2,500.00.
All amounts listed above are pending and subject to final court approval at the Final Approval Hearing. The Court may award less than the amounts requested. Because the settlement is claims-made rather than a common fund, the Court said it cannot presently value the relief the class will actually receive; separately, Warrior estimates its agreed information-security enhancements will cost at least $120,000.

You may claim $15.00 per hour for up to four hours of lost time, up to $250.00 for ordinary losses, and up to $2,500.00 for actual monetary losses, or instead a $25.00 Alternative Flat Cash Payment; the combined total for lost time, ordinary losses and actual monetary losses may not exceed $2,500.00.
