So, what does a class action suit do at this point? it's not like a consumer class action like blogtoolkit that I'm considering joining.
Thanks,

Mag,
The success of winning a class action suit depends on the preponderance of
cases and how much documentation each litigant can provide towards the
case. It's not like a criminal case which is focused on one person or one
crime and the chances of winning lies in the quality of the evidence.
So there is no geographic limitation for a class action suit, except, I
believe, that it be within the US. I'm not familiar with the international
law aspect of such a legal action, unless one were to attempt to file a
violation of human rights with the UN's World Court at The Hague. I'm sure a
lawyer can answer that question much much better than I.
Personally speaking the only abuse I got at the hands of a PT was a violent
shaking of my arm to "loosen" it up and as I complained about it, I was
assigned to another PT even though this left me with a lingering fear of
:PTs. It all happened 50 years ago so any eyewitnesses are long gone.
