Class action lawyering usually sound ambulance chasey, because any given person doesn't lose that much in a given instance and so the actual people harmed have little incentive to sue.

At the same time, it's an edge case in the economy. If you harm a large number of people a small amount, they won't sue you to recover for their injury.
