If you have submitted medical claims and/or are a medical provider who was assigned benefits involving Farmers automobile insurance, you may be eligible to submit a claim for a payment if
such claims were adjusted.

Please read this website carefully, as the information it contains may affect your legal rights.

A state court authorized this website.  This is not a solicitation from a lawyer.

  • This is to notify you of a proposed Class Action Settlement involving Farmers automobile insurance. You may be a member of the Class. Generally, the Class includes persons who submitted claims to Farmers for payment of medical bills related to an automobile accident under Med-pay or PIP coverage if (a) the claim was adjusted from January 1, 2001 to February 9, 2009 based upon a recommended reduction from Zurich Services Corporation (“ZSC”); (b) the claim was paid at less than the amount billed; and (c) total Med-pay or PIP payments were less than the respective limits of coverage. The Class includes medical providers who were assigned the right to assert these claims.
     
  • The Settlement provides that eligible claimants who submit a Valid Claim Form can receive 60% of the difference between the amount of the medical bills submitted to Farmers and the amount paid by Farmers based upon a recommended reduction from ZSC related in any way to reasonable expenses for necessary medical services. Denials or reductions for duplicate bills or exhaustion of policy limits are excluded, and claims payments are subject to the terms of the Stipulation of Settlement and the applicable policy limit.
