Insurance Class Actions

Schiff Hardin has represented major insurers in dozens of class action cases at the state and national level in recent years alone. We currently or recently had cases pending in 18 U.S. states and the District of Columbia, often working as lead counsel with local counsel to assure the efficient and effective representation of our insurer clients no matter where they are located.

The range of substantive issues addressed in these representations has included:

  • Civil rights and fair housing laws
  • Alleged breach of contract and statutory and common law fraud claims
  • Asserted overinsurance claims
  • Antitrust allegations
  • Claims under the Fair Credit Reporting Act
  • Various other challenges to insurer marketing, underwriting and claims practices

Our attorneys have a broad base of experience and have handled everything from trials, evidentiary hearings and extensive discovery, to negotiating and administrating statewide and national class action settlements.
