Welcome to the Website for the Arevalo et. al. v. USAA Casualty Insurance Company, et al., Settlement.
The Settlement resolves a lawsuit claiming that USAA breached its auto insurance policies by failing to pay (or underpaying) Sales Tax, Car Replacement Assistance (“CRA”) Sales Tax, and/or Title Fees, Regulatory Fees, Transfer Fees, Inspection Fees, Dealer Fees and/or any other Fees (collectively “Fees”) to customers who submitted Texas first-party total loss auto claims.
Plaintiffs alleged that United Services Automobile Association (“United Services”), USAA Casualty Insurance Company (“USAA CIC”), USAA General Indemnity Company (“USAA GIC”), and Garrison Property & Casualty Insurance Company (“Garrison”) (collectively, “USAA” or “Defendants”) breached their contracts (Automobile Insurance Policies) by failing to pay or underpaying Fees to Settlement Class Members, failing to properly calculate the CRA payment amount for Settlement Class Members who had CRA coverage, and, for some Settlement Class Members, failing to pay (or underpaying) Sales Tax to them. Settlement Class Members are Texas insureds who submitted physical damage claims for their insured vehicles which resulted in Total Loss Claim payments for the “actual cash values” of their Total Loss Vehicles during the Class Period. Plaintiffs claim that Defendants’ failure to pay (or underpayment of) Fees and failure to pay (or underpayment of) Sales Tax and CRA Sales Tax constituted a breach of their insurance contracts. Defendants maintain that they complied with the terms of the Automobile Insurance Policies and applicable law and deny that they acted wrongfully or unlawfully and continue to deny all material allegations.
