For Ohio residents who held a car insurance policy with Farmers or Mid-Century between Oct. 5, 1994 and Sept. 2, 1997, and who paid additional uninsured or underinsured motorists premiums, then you are eligible for a potential award from the Ohio Farmers Insurance Class Action Lawsuit! According to the complaint, those who paid insurance premiums for multiple cars were assessed separately for UM/UIM coverage, when they should have only been charged once, under Ohio state law.
Farmers and Mid-Century insist that the UM/UIM insurance premiums they assessed during this period were fair, reasonable, and appropriate. However, the companies have agreed to pay more than $7 million as a part of the Ohio Farmers Insurance class action settlement. So if you are eligible, file a claim by October 14, 2019 to receive your potential award!
