Florida Allstate PIP Class Action Settlement

A Florida Allstate PIP class action settlement has been reached to resolve claims that injured parties and medical providers were underpaid after accidents.

Both eligible injured persons (EIPs) and medical providers are able to benefit from the Florida Allstate personal injury protection (PIP) settlement.

EIP Class Members include individuals who were injured in an automobile accident covered by a Florida Allstate PIP policy that was subjected to a deductible, though payment was calculated by applying the deductible to a legal limitation rather than the full amount of medical services billed when treating the injured party.

Medical provider Class Members include the medical providers in the same situation.

There is also an eligible subclass included in the settlement. Allstate post-review subclass members include Class Members whose payments under a Florida Allstate PIP policy were determined between March 8, 2018 and Dec. 29, 2018 but were not remediated under the Allstate Deductible Mitigation Plan.

Plaintiff Gail Pierce filed her Florida Allstate PIP class action lawsuit claiming the insurance provider incorrectly applies deductibles to PIP policies following car accidents. Allegedly, this misapplication results in underpayments to both injured parties and the medical professionals who treat them.

Under Florida state law, there is a statutorily authorized limitation amount that governs various insurance policies. Although Allstate is expected to conform with these limitations, the company allegedly misused the limit when calculating payments.

In the case of PIP policies which are subject to a deductible, Allstate reportedly applied the deductible to the Florida insurance limit amount, instead of the full amount billed for medical services following a car accident. According to Pierce, this deductible application resulted in lower payments for both injured parties and medical providers.

Allstate has not admitted any wrongdoing but has agreed to resolve the claims against them in a Florida Allstate PIP class action settlement.

Under the Florida Allstate PIP settlement, Class Members will be compensated with payments based on the proper recalculation of an insurance payout. These payments will vary in size depending on a Class Member’s individual situation.

In order to benefit from the Florida Allstate PIP settlement, Class Members must file a valid claim form by Nov. 13, 2020. However, members of the subclass are not required to submit a claim to receive benefits.

All Class Members and subclass members have until July 28, 2020 to opt out of the settlement if they wish to retain their rights to take separate legal action. Similarly, objections to the settlement terms must be sent to the court by Aug. 3, 2020, and to both class and defendant counsels by Aug. 15, 2020.

A final approval hearing for the Florida Allstate PIP settlement is scheduled for Sept. 14, 2020.
