Overview of an Insurance Class Action Lawsuit (Part B)

What makes a strong insurance class action lawsuit?

A strong insurance class action lawsuit is a case in which numerous consumers have been harmed materially or financially by a company's practice or policy. This can be a written policy, or simply an unethical or illegal practice.

Generally, a class action lawsuit begins when one individual files a complaint on behalf of themselves and other similarly wronged individuals. Then, other individuals come forward.

A good example of this is the 2007 insurance class action lawsuit filed against Blue Cross of California. Nearly 6,000 plaintiffs made claims against the insurer for the cancellation of insurance policy. The lawsuit claimed that Blue Cross intentionally nit-picked at their customers' applications in order to deny their claims. As a result of the class action lawsuit, Blue Cross paid a financial settlement and changed their rescission policies.

How do I begin an insurance class action lawsuit?

If you feel you have a case for an insurance class action lawsuit, you should start by contacting a class action attorney. An attorney will hear your complaint, investigate your claims, and determine whether you have a strong case. You'll need to provide any documents from your insurance company that may be relevant to your case.

These are examples of documents you will want to provide:

  • A copy of your insurance policy
  • Your insurance declarations page
  • Any claim submittal documentation
  • Any correspondence regarding your claim
  • Evidence of premium payments
  • Explanations of benefits or explanation of review forms
