If you received a call on a cell phone from Allstate Insurance Company’s Claims Liability Determination Unit between February 1, 2022 and ending December 31, 2022, inclusive, and did not consent to have
that call being recorded, you may be entitled to benefits under a class action Settlement.
- A consumer (“Class Representative”) brought a lawsuit alleging that Allstate Insurance Company (“Allstate” or “Defendant”) violated the California Invasion of Privacy Act (“CIPA”), § 632.7(a), by recording its outgoing calls to her cell phone without her consent.
- A Settlement has been reached in this case, which affects certain individuals who were called on their cell phones by Allstate's Claims Liability Determination Unit between February 1, 2022 and December 31, 2022, inclusive (“Class Period”) and who did not consent to have the call(s) with Allstate audio recorded.
- The Settlement, if approved, will provide a $3,300,000.00 fund from which eligible persons who file valid and timely claims will receive cash awards (“Settlement Fund”).
- You are in the “Class” if Allstate’s Claims Liability Determination Unit called you on a cell phone between February 1, 2022 and ending December 31, 2022, Allstate recorded that call, and you did not consent to that call being recorded.
- In addition to paying cash Settlement checks to Settlement Class Members, the Settlement Fund will be used to pay attorneys’ fees and costs to attorneys representing the Class Representative and the Class (the “Class Counsel”), any service award to the Class Representative, the reasonable costs of Notice and administration of the Settlement, and a possible charitable contribution to one or more charities if there are funds remaining from uncashed Settlement checks.
- Your legal rights are affected whether you act or do not act. Read the Notice carefully.

Your Legal Rights and Options in this Settlement

Payments will be made on valid and timely claims if the Court approves the Settlement and after any appeals are resolved. Please be patient.
