New West Health Services insurance class action settlement

Based on a recent court ruling in a class action lawsuit, consumers may be able to recover compensation from a settlement if they incurred medical costs while insured under a New West health insurance plan.

The class is made up of those who were insured by a New West Health Services insurance plan between January 2002 and January 2013 and incurred injuries and medical costs caused by another person’s or company’s fault (car accidents, slips and falls, defective consumer products, malpractice, etc.).

The plaintiff in the case claims that she suffered serious injuries after an automobile accident in 2007, resulting in $120,000 in medical expenses. Her insurance company, New West, allegedly failed to cover these expenses, arguing that they had been covered by the party at fault.

New West Health Services was a Montana-based insurer that ceased operations in 2017.

The court ruled against New West and found that it must pay monetary compensation to insured individuals who seek such recoveries within a certain time period.

According to the attorney website, claimants could recover anywhere from a few hundred dollars to over $100,000, depending on their circumstances.

There is no exclusion or objection deadline for this judgment.

The district judge made his most recent ruling on Jan. 20, 2024.

In order to receive compensation, class members submit a claim postmarked by Aug. 1, 2024.
