ABOUT THE CALIFORNIA LAWSUIT AGAINST ALLSTATE
The lawsuit states that Allstate’s recent corporate-level decisions violate California law dictating how uninsured motorist (UM) and underinsured motorist (UIM) benefits must be calculated, leaving California claimants receiving less than what they are owed. Attorneys say Allstate has increased its rates charged to California consumers by an average of 30%.
The lawsuit paints a picture that Allstate’s policies directly harm its own customers, unnecessarily delaying UM/UIM benefits it does pay, and forcing insureds to wait years to receive compensation for their injuries—compensation that is often only partial, attorneys allege.
WHAT RIGHTS TO CALIFORNIA INSUREDS HAVE?
The lawsuit brings claims of breach of contract and bad faith and seeks punitive damages, compensation for the proposed class, and action from the court prohibiting the use of Allstate’s policies that are alleged to be in violation of California laws protecting insureds.
