Travelers personal injury protection class action settlement

Travelers Indemnity Company agreed to a class action settlement to resolve claims it wrongfully reduced personal injury protection (PIP) coverage limits by deducting copayments and deductibles from the policy limits.

The Travelers settlement benefits individuals who were paid PIP benefits by Travelers under a New Jersey automobile insurance policy where the final payment was made between April 14, 2017, and April 1, 2023, and who were paid within $3,000 of their PIP policy limit but less than the full PIP policy limit.

According to a class action lawsuit, Travelers violated New Jersey law by reducing PIP coverage limits for copayments and deductibles. Policyholders claim that they were not compensated for the full value of their Travelers Personal Injury Protection benefits due to these reductions.

Travelers is an insurance company that offers auto, home, business and other types of insurance. The company offers insurance policies in all 50 states.

Travelers has not admitted any wrongdoing but agreed to pay an undisclosed sum to resolve these allegations.

Under the terms of the Travelers class action settlement, all class members will receive an automatic payment of $70. Class members who submit a valid claim form can receive an additional payment of up to 80% of the difference between their PIP policy limit and the amount they were paid in PIP benefits, minus the $70 payment.

For example, if a class member had a $15,000 Travelers Personal Injury Protection policy limit but was only paid $14,000 in benefits, they could receive up to $800 in settlement benefits (80% of the $1,000 difference, less the $70 automatic payment).

The deadline for exclusion and objection is March 18, 2026.

The final approval hearing for the class action settlement is scheduled for April 17, 2026.

To receive settlement benefits, class members must submit a valid claim form by June 16, 2026.
