A class action settlement has been reached in the above referenced lawsuit against Alfa Mutual Insurance Company entitling members of the Settlement Class, who make a valid and timely claim, to payments for unpaid taxes, and title and registration transfer fees (“Purchasing Fees”) for their total loss auto insurance claims.
This Notice is being sent to provide you information about your rights. ALFA denies all liability in this case, including that it has fully paid taxes on all total loss claims. The information contained on this website is only a summary. You may download a copy of the full Notice by clicking here. Since this website is just a summary, you should review the Notice for additional information.
Why am I getting this Notice? You have been identified as a potential “Settlement Class Member” from ALFA’s claims data, because you were an Alabama auto policyholder and insured by ALFA or an affiliated entity and submitted a first-party physical damage claim with respect to a covered vehicle that resulted in a total loss claim that may not have included full Purchasing Fees.
Who represents me? The Court has appointed lawyers from Irby Law LLC and Normand PLLC to serve as Class Counsel. You do not have to pay them to participate. Instead, if they recover money for the Settlement Class, the lawyers will ask the Court for a separate award of fees or expenses.
Settlement Terms. Settlement Class Members who submit a valid timely claim are eligible to receive payment of up to $24.00 (less any Purchasing Fees included in the original total loss claim payment) as well as any unpaid taxes on your total loss claim.
Other Options: If you do not want to be legally bound by the settlement, you must opt out of the settlement postmarked by June 22, 2026. If you do not opt out, you will give up the right to sue and will release ALFA and Released Parties about the legal claims in this lawsuit. If you do not opt out, you may object to the settlement by July 1, 2026. The Long Form Notice on the settlement website explains how to opt out or object. If you do nothing, you will get no cash payment, and you will be bound by the settlement and any judgments and orders.
The Court will hold a hearing on July 20, 2026, at 9:30 am to consider whether to finally approve the Settlement, Class Counsel’s request for attorneys’ fees and Service award for the Class Representative. The date of the hearing may change without further notice to the Settlement Class. You may contact the Claims Administrator at 866-830-6633 or Class Counsel by mail at 3165 McCrory Place, Suite 175, Orlando, FL 32803.
