If your vehicle was adjusted to be a total loss by State Farm, State Farm may have applied deductions referred to as Typical Negotiation Adjustments to your total loss claim, and your rights may be affected by a class action lawsuit pending in the U.S. District Court for the District of Kansas.
A court authorized the Long Form Notice (“Notice”). This is not a solicitation from a lawyer. You are not being sued.
The Notice explains important rights you may have. Please read it carefully.
- On April 30, 2025, a lawsuit styled Paula Gulick, et al., v. State Farm Mutual Automobile Insurance Co., Case No. 2:21-cv-2573-TC-TJJ (the “Class Action”), which is pending in the United States District Court, District of Kansas (the “Court”), was certified as a class action.
- The Notice explains what the class action is about, the Class that was certified, and Class members’ legal rights and options.
