Drivers could benefit from a $33.5 million Geico Texas total loss settlement if the insurance company underpaid their vehicle total loss claims due to unlawful deductions.
The settlement benefits individuals insured under a Geico Texas private passenger automobile insurance policy that defined actual cash value under Section III of the policy as “the replacement cost of the auto or property less depreciation and/or betterment” and who made a first-party physical damage claim paid as a total loss between May 5, 2016, and March 18, 2024.
Plaintiffs in the total loss class action lawsuit claim Geico unlawfully reduced their total loss payments by failing to compensate for full regulatory fees after a loss. These fees, which include title transfer fees, registration fees, inspection fees and others, are allegedly required to register a new vehicle in Texas.
Geico is an insurance company that covers vehicles, homes, renters, motorcycles and more.
Geico hasn’t admitted any wrongdoing but agreed to pay $33.5 million to resolve the total loss class action lawsuit.
Under the terms of the Geico Texas total loss settlement, class members can receive up to $80. Actual payment amounts may be reduced depending on the number of valid claims filed.
The deadline for exclusion and objection was June 25, 2024.
The final approval hearing for the settlement is scheduled for Aug. 1, 2024.
To receive a Geico Texas total loss settlement payment, class members must submit a valid claim form by July 10, 2024.

4 thoughts on$33.7M Geico Texas total loss class action settlement
just found documents that states $7,500 PER Class member. i bet my sweet a$$ nobody got that award. email me at highmainllc@gmail. ill tell you how to proceed
here is a piece of the court document:
Exhibits 5–6.
c. Separate and distinct Postcard and Email Notices will be sent out for
the Sales Tax Class and Regulatory Fees Class.
did anyone get 2 different claim forms?
WAS ANYONE IN THIS CASE AWARE THAT THE CLASS COUNSEL FOUGHT FOR THE SALES TAX FEE, THAT SHOULD HAVE GONE TO YOU, THAT GEICO FAILED TO PAY TO THEIR INSURED, WHICH IS USUALLY ABOUT $2GS, AND ONLY PAID YOU FOR REGULATORY TAX AND KEPT EVERY BODY’S SALES TAX AWARD THAT SHOULD HAVE GONE TO YOU, THE CLASS MEMBERS? LOOK IT UP AND READ THE COURT PAPERS. THEY STOLE $2000 APPROX FROM EVERY SINGLE ONE OF YOU. THESE ATTORNEYS RIPPED YOU OFF LIKE THEY ARE DOING TO EVERY GEICO TOTAL LOSS CASE.DID YOU KNOW THAT YOU WERE SUPPOSED TO GET 2 SEPARATE CLAIM FORMS MAILED TO YOU OR MADE AVAILABLE ON THEIR WEBSITE. IT WAS COURT ORDERED. READ THE CASE FILE. YOU WERE CHEATED OUT OF $2000. EACH!
YOUR CLASS COUNSEL WILL STEAL YOUR AWARD MONEY!!! TRUST ME ON THAT. ITS THE SAME ATTORNEYS RIPPING OFF ITS OWN CLIENTS. SPECIFICALLY, THE UNNAMED CLASS. THEY ARE DOING IT IN EVERY CLASS ACTION CASE WITH GEICO ACROSS THE COUNTRY. THE JUDGES ARE COMPLICT. OPT OUT!!!
