Automobile Insurance Overcharge

Chimicles & Tikellis is investigating a potential class action lawsuit against the insurance companies listed below for allegedly overcharging consumers in Pennsylvania that buy automobile insurance, and who have a vehicle that contains a “passive anti-theft device.” A passive anti-theft device is a feature that reduces the risk of automobile theft (such as an engine immobilizer or alarm system), and is often a standard feature on many cars. Pennsylvania law requires insurance companies that sell comprehensive automobile insurance to consumers that have cars with a passive anti-theft device provide them with a discount of at least 10% on the premiums that they are charged.

C&T is investigating whether these auto insurers are violating Pennsylvania law by failing to provide consumers with the requisite 10% discount. If you reside in Pennsylvania, have insured an automobile with a passive anti-theft device, and have not received the 10% discount, please contact me.

The auto insurers being investigated are:

• Allstate
• State Farm
• Progressive
• Peerless Indemnity
• Encompass Indemnity
• Nationwide
