NATURE OF THE ACTION 

 

Individuals who purchased a California automobile policy underwritten by Integon National Insurance Company that was rescinded on or after May 14, 2015 based on an alleged failure to disclose household members on an insurance application (referred to as “Plaintiffs”) have sued National General Insurance Company, Integon National Insurance Company, and National General Management Corp. (referred to as “Defendants”). Plaintiffs allege that Defendants improperly rescinded policies and denied collision claims for each Class Member. Plaintiffs assert breach of contract and bad faith causes of action under California law and seek damages in the form of recovery of either the insured’s vehicle repair costs or the fair market value of the insured’s vehicle, as well as punitive damages.  Defendants deny these allegations and dispute liability. The case is currently set for trial on March 1, 2027.  

Your Legal Rights and Options:

If you elect Option 1, you do not need to do anything at this time. It will cost you nothing to remain a member of the Class, and if the judge or jury orders any recovery, you will receive a share of it. However, if Defendants prevail, you will not be able to pursue a separate claim against Defendants arising out of these claims. 

 

Any judgment obtained on the common issues in this action, whether favorable or not, will bind all Class Members who do not opt-out (exclude themselves) from this proceeding.  

 

You may receive a later notice advising you of the outcome of this case and your right to participate in any recovery, if any recovery is ordered.  

 

As a member of the Class, you will not be responsible for Class Counsels’ attorneys’ fees or costs except that the Court may award fees and costs to Class Counsel out of any recovery achieved on behalf of the Class. You may, if you so desire, enter an appearance on your own.
