Case overview
What is the State Farm Mutual Automobile Insurance Company settlement about?
A lawsuit claims State Farm violated its own auto insurance policies by shortchanging customers on total-loss vehicle claims, specifically, by leaving out Purchasing Fees like sales tax, title and transfer handling charges, notary fees, registration fees, license plate transfer fees, and tag fees from claim payments. State Farm denies any wrongdoing, saying it followed its policies and the law throughout.
A judge has given the settlement preliminary approval, but it isn't final yet. A Final Approval Hearing is set for September 17, 2026, and the deal won't be locked in until the Court grants final approval and any appeals are worked out.
You may qualify if you held a covered State Farm auto policy, filed a first-party private-passenger auto physical damage claim between May 17, 2022, and May 21, 2026, received a total-loss payout, and that payout left out the full Purchasing Fees you were owed.

You'll need to confirm you want the settlement payment and swear that you filed the claim in question (or are legally authorized to act for the claimant), that your information is accurate, and that you haven't already been paid the full Purchasing Fees amount. Most claimants won't need extra paperwork, but if you're filing on behalf of a deceased or incapacitated class member, you'll need documents proving your authority to act for them.
