Taqueria El Primo LLC et al v. Farmers Group, Inc. et al Doc. 521 Att. 1 EXHIBIT A Dockets.Justia.com LEGAL NOTICE Este Aviso está disponible en español en www.FarmersInsuranceMinnesotaClassAction.com o llamando al ( ) . The Court has certified a class of consumers in Taqueria El Primo LLC et al. v. Illinois Farmers Ins. Co. et al., Case No. 0:19-cv-03071 (D. Minn.), who have purchased an auto or business insurance policy in Minnesota from Illinois Farmers Insurance Company, Farmers Insurance Exchange, Truck Insurance Exchange, or Mid-Century Insurance Company (with Farmers Group, Inc. and Farmers Insurance Company, Inc., collectively “Farmers” or “Defendants”) that provided for medical expense benefits as required under Minnesota’s No-Fault Automobile Insurance Act. The lawsuit alleges Farmers violated the Minnesota Consumer Fraud Act, Minnesota Deceptive Trade Practices Act, and the terms of insurance policies by entering into undisclosed agreements with health care providers. Plaintiffs contend that these agreements limited the ability of insureds to use policy benefits at the health care provider of their choice and seek damages for the Class. The lawsuit also seeks injunctive relief so that Farmers will be legally prohibited from creating or enforcing undisclosed limitations on medical expense benefits. Defendants deny any violation of Minnesota law or that they denied reimbursement of any medical expense benefits. This Notice summarizes the Class allegations and your rights as a Class Member. Please read this Notice carefully. Am I a Class Member? Farmers’ records indicate you are a Class Member, because you purchased or renewed an auto insurance policy from Farmers in the State of Minnesota during the period on or after January 17, 2013.

If they are through either final judgment or settlement, you will receive a notice describing how to receive your share of any funds.

You can decide whether to stay in the Class or opt out of it and litigate the same issues separately on your own. If you stay in the Class, you will be bound by all Orders and Judgments of the Court in this case, even if there is no recovery. If you opt out of the Class (by stating in writing that you do not want to be included in the Class), you will give up the right to participate in any recovery that may occur.
