Should my son sign a waiver stating that if there is a class action law suite brought against C.D.C he will take no part in it?

Asked over 2 years ago - Oaktown, IN

My Son is one of the inmates from the California fire-camp #16 where the two California firefighters died. They should have been evacuated and weren't.
The C.D.C. is offering the inmates a 1 time payment of $250.00 "to replace their things" if they sign a waiver stating that should a class action law suite be brought against them that the inmate agrees not to take part.

You need to provide a lot of detail to a smart lawyer to get an answer to this question. It sounds as if your son may have valuable claims that he should not waive. And the offer suggests your son should consider whether he should hire a class action lawyer himself and initiate a class action. But I cannot really tell without knowing a lot more. There may be nothing there. My view is it's definitely worth having a good lawyer evaluate it. Someone will do that at no cost to you.
