Farmers Insurance Exchange Class Action Settlement
By Matt O’Donnell
Â
Farmer’s Group, Inc. has reached a $455 million class action lawsuit settlement over allegedly charging its insurance Exchanges, which are owned by subscribers, illegally high fees. The Farmers class action settlement affects anyone who subscribed to an insurance policy issued by Farmers Insurance Exchange, Fire Insurance Exchange or Truck Insurance Exchange between 1999 and 2010.Â
Â
The Farmers Group class action settlement will resolve allegations that the management fees that Farmers Group received to manage certain operations of the Farmers insurance Exchanges were too high and that Farmers Group made too much in profits in violation of California law. The Exchanges are insurance companies that are owned by their subscribers. The management fees that the Exchanges pay Farmers Group come out of the premiums that subscribers pay for their insurance.
Â
Farmers Group denies any wrongdoing but has agreed to settle the class action lawsuit, entitled Fogel v. Farmers Group, Inc., by creating a $455 million settlement fund to pay out Class Members. Class Members of the Farmers Group settlement include anyone who, at any time between January 1, 1999 and December 31, 2010, had an insurance or reinsurance policy issued by Farmers Insurance Exchange, Fire Insurance Exchange or Truck Insurance Exchange.Â
Â
As a Class Member, you’re entitled to a certain percentage of the Farmers class action settlement. Your payment will depend on the amount of premiums you paid during the class period as well as the amount of premiums paid by all Class Members during that time period. To receive your share of the Farmers class action settlement, you must submit a valid claim form online at FogelSettlement.com or postmarked no later than December 6, 2011.

Bolonda Woods, please give me an up date, I haven’t heard anything about my lawsuit.
The settlement took place in 2011 and the settlement website is no longer active. You can try contacting class counsel to inquire about the status of your claim: https://www.girardikeese.com/.
What is going o. With the settlement . I filled out papers have not heard one thing
I, too, have not heard any more about this since I sent my paperwork. Wondering what is going on and who to contact about this.
Never got any money either. Did anybody get anything besides the lawyers? What a scam!
also never received payment
I have never received any monies and I have tried to call the number on the claim form. Of course the number is no longer in service. I never received any notification for a new phone number or any update on the progress of the settlement. What a scam. If anyone has a phone number, please e mail it to me.
