Allianz Global Assistance (AGA) agreed to a $19.75 million class action lawsuit settlement to resolve claims that it charged an illegal assistance fee on travel and event protection plans offered through airline carriers and event ticket sellers.
The AGA class action settlement benefits California and Washington purchasers of certain travel and event ticket insurance plans Allianz offers.
The California class includes California residents who purchased one or more qualifying travel and/or event protection plans between Sept. 4, 2016, and Sept. 30, 2023, for a trip or event within California.
The Washington class includes Washington residents who purchased one or more qualifying travel and/or event protection plans between April 2, 2018, and Sept. 30, 2023, for a trip or event within Washington.
According to the class action lawsuit, Allianz charged an illegal fee for “non-insurance assistance services” that was deceptively hidden from consumers at checkout. Plaintiffs claim these fees violated both California and Washington consumer protection laws.
Allianz Global Assistance offers travel insurance policies and other travel-related services.
AGA hasn’t admitted wrongdoing but agreed to pay an undisclosed sum as part of a settlement to resolve the class action lawsuit.
Under the settlement terms, class members can receive up to 75% of the assistance fees they paid as part of their Allianz travel or event protection plan(s). Compensation amounts will vary depending on when the plans were purchased.
Plans purchased by California class members between Sept. 4, 2016, and July 31, 2019, or by Washington class members between April 2, 2018, and April 7, 2020, will result in 75% refunds.
Plans purchased by California class members between Aug. 1, 2019, and Sept. 30, 2023, or by Washington class members between April 8 and Sept. 30, 2020, will result in 40% refunds.
Claimants who purchased multiple plans in different periods may receive differing compensation rates for each plan.
Class members could receive up to double their projected refund amounts depending on the number of claims filed.
For example, instead of receiving 75% refunds, class members could receive 150% refunds. Similarly, 40% refunds could be doubled to 80% refunds. However, this is not guaranteed, and if a large number of claims are filed, refunds could be reduced below the expected refund amount.
The deadline for exclusion and objection is Jan. 25, 2024.
The final approval hearing for the AGA class action lawsuit settlement is scheduled for Feb. 22, 2024.
In order to receive settlement benefits, class members must submit a valid claim form by Jan. 25, 2024.
Who’s Eligible
California class: California residents who purchased one or more qualifying travel and/or event protection plans between Sept. 4, 2016, and Sept. 30, 2023, for a trip or event within California.
Washington class: Washington residents who purchased one or more qualifying travel and/or event protection plans between April 2, 2018, and Sept. 30, 2023, for a trip or event within Washington.
