Infinity Indemnity Insurance has agreed to a settlement to resolve allegations that they failed to pay out medical claims resulting from car accidents.
The settlement benefits Florida residents who were insured by Infinity Indemnity Insurance, or a medical provider that submitted one or more claims for treatment or services for an Infinity claim since Nov. 15, 2012.
Hands on Chiropractic, a chiropractic office in Florida, filed the Infinity Indemnity Insurance class action lawsuit in December 2017. According to the chiropractor, Infinity violated Florida law by failing to properly reimburse medical expenses resulting from car accidents.
Many auto insurance policies provide coverage to medical expenses that occur after a car accident. In addition to the treatment of injuries at a hospital, car accident victims may seek chiropractic and other specialist care in order to treat ongoing pain.
According to the insurance reimbursement class action lawsuit, Infinity Indemnity Insurance paid 80 percent of a covered expense charge because of the way that the company processes the claims. The company allegedly submits payments before the application of the 20 percent copay.
As a result, medical providers are allegedly underpaid for these services and consumers may face financial pressure. Hands on Chiropractic argues that this underpayment is not only unfair – it violates Florida insurance law.
Infinity Indemnity Insurance has not admitted any wrongdoing but has agreed to settle the case against them. The class action settlement provides a resolution to the plaintiff claims and avoids the cost of future litigation or the uncertainty of a trial. Hands On argues that the settlement is a fair and reasonable resolution to their claims.
“Class Counsel has also examined the benefits to be obtained under the terms of the Proposed Settlement and considered the costs, risks and delays associated with the continued prosecution of this complex and time-consuming litigation and the likely appeals of any favorable rulings,” the Infinity Indemnity Insurance class action settlement agreement states.
“Hands On and Class Counsel believe that, in consideration of all the circumstances and after prolonged and serious arm’s length negotiations with Infinity and its counsel, the Proposed Settlement embodied in this Settlement Agreement is fair, reasonable, adequate.”
Under the settlement, insured individuals and medical provider Class Members will be able to collect payments for any unpaid charges.
Payments will be equal to the difference between what Infinity paid and the maximum charge amount allowed under Florida law. Yearly interest of 5.25 percent will be included in the settlement payments.
In order to benefit from the settlement, Class Members must file a valid claim form by Aug. 31, 2020. Claim forms can be printed from the settlement website, filled out, and mailed to the settlement administrator.
Claims may require patient information, dates of service and statutory damage letters may be required to complete a claim form.
The deadline for exclusion and objection is June 1, 2020. The final approval hearing for the settlement is scheduled for Aug. 17, 2020.

One thought on Fla. Infinity Indemnity Insurance Class Action Settlement
Recently my mother and I received a letter from Infinity Insurance Company informing us that a investigation identified brief unauthorized access to files on the company server in their server 2 days in December 2020. One of the days was 12/26/2020. On our information it was determined the information names and driver license numbers. This review was said to have been completed 2/18/2021. They also said they will continue review our cybersecurity program and use information to further enhance security network. They apologized and offer 1 year free membership with Experian Identity Works. It’s was never explained if our information was used.
