What is this lawsuit about?
The Parties in this class action lawsuit, Plaintiffs Jennifer Savage and Ricky Tow (also referred to as the Class Representatives), and Defendant insurance company GEICO Indemnity Company and all its affiliated entities writing personal automobile insurance policies in Georgia (“Insurers”), reached a Proposed Settlement on behalf of a Settlement Class which the Court preliminarily approved in a Preliminary Approval Order.
The Class Representatives sued alleging that GEICO Indemnity Company breached its insurance contracts by failing to fully compensate Georgia automobile insurance policyholders for License Plate Registration Transfer Fees when settling first-party total loss claims between September 16, 2019 and August 8, 2024.
The Insurers denied and continue to deny the allegations against them. Rather than continuing to litigate the matter, the Parties have reached a Proposed Settlement.
Who is included?
All Georgia insureds: (1) under a personal automobile insurance policy issued by GEICO Indemnity Company and other GEICO entities that underwrite personal automobile insurance in Georgia (collectively, “GEICO”); who (2) submitted a first-party auto physical damage claim to GEICO during between September 16, 2019 and August 8, 2024 (3) that was accepted and paid by GEICO as a total loss under the policy’s comprehensive or collision coverage; and (4) did not receive $5 in License Plate Registration Transfer Fees (“License Fees”) in the settlement of their claim.
Settlement Class Members will be identified exclusively based on information in the Insurers’ records.
