CASE CENTER
Synder vs Farmers
Nealey Law represents members of a Class of a Certified Class of Insureds of Farmers Insurance Company of Washington and Mid-Century Insurance Company who had accidents after December 12, 2007 where their losses were covered under their Comprehensive or Collision Coverage under a Washington insurance policy issued before August 17, 2009 (after which Farmers excluded Diminished Value from coverage) who did not receive Diminished Value when their claims were adjusted by Farmers. After a hearing lasting over two days, the Court certified the Proposed Class of Farmers insureds on April 15, 2015. Prior to Class Certification, Farmers filed a motion which sought to limit its liability under Moeller. We opposed this motion, and the Court rejected Farmers' arguments. Read the Court’s Order rejecting Farmers arguments.
After further proceedings the matter was settled in the summer of 2016 for $10,737,245, which represents $865 per claim in the Class. The settlement was approved on December 2, 2016. Click here to read the Court’s Order Preliminarily Approving the Settlement.
