This is an agreement (the “Agreement”) between you and Milberg Coleman Bryson Phillips Grossman LLC (“MCBPG”) for legal representation for your claims against Turo, Inc. for its violations of the California Civil Code section 1670.8 (“Section 1670.8”).
You understand and authorize MCBPG to proceed with filing your claims as an individual arbitration. Arbitration is a simplified means of pursuing legal claims, where the claim is decided by an arbitrator rather than a judge or jury. However, this agreement also authorizes MCBPG to settle your claim as a part of a class action if Turo Inc. chooses to do so. MCBPG intends to secure the maximum recovery for your claims. However, you authorize MCBPG to resolve your claims with Turo Inc. for, at a minimum, a one-hundred-dollar ($100.00) value. Of course, we will try to obtain a larger settlement amount.
Our firm will handle this matter with a contingent fee of the greater of either forty percent (40%), as allowed by state law, of any recovery obtained in this matter or a total attorneys’ fees awarded by the arbitrator or court. We reserve the right to associate any co-counsel, but our fee will be split among our firm and any firm(s) we associate
We will advance all costs incurred by our firm during this litigation (e.g., filing fees, travel, etc.). We will be reimbursed for these costs if, and only if, we ultimately obtain a recovery. Advanced costs are deducted after the calculation of the contingent fee.
You authorize MCBPG to withdraw from our representation if we determine for sufficient reasons that the case should not continue. Regardless, we will maintain the file on this matter for at least six years. If requested, these will be returned to you after the conclusion of the representation.
Finally, we do not make any promises or guarantees regarding the outcome of your claims. If you have any questions about the foregoing, please advise. We would appreciate your returning a signed copy of this engagement letter to us for our files. By signing this agreement, you are attesting to the fact that while in the state of California you have used the Turo Inc. website (https://turo.com/) or mobile app to make a purchase or transaction within the last four (4) years.
