ABOUT US
This is a collaboration between
Klevatt & Associates, LLC, and
Hagens Berman Sobol Shapiro LLP
We currently have four active lawsuits: one a certified class action suit in which we obtained a multi-million dollar judgement (Bentley v. United of Omaha Life Ins. Co., 371 F. Supp. 3d 723 (C.D. Cal. 2019)), and three others in the federal courts in California:
Kroetz v. John Hancock Life Insurance Company, 2:20-cv-02117, C.D. Cal.
Barbara Linhart v. New York Life Insurance Company, 5:21-cv-01640, C.D. Cal.
Schmidt v. Standard Life Insurance Company and Protective Life Insurance Company, 1:21−CV−01784, E.D. Cal.
DISCLAIMER
We have experience in complex litigation and class action lawsuits, and we work on a contingency fee basis. This means that in no case will you or your clients be liable for any up-front or out-of-pocket costs. In the event of a successful result, the court will determine reasonable legal fees and reimbursement costs which will be apportioned from the settlement or judgment.
We have not yet evaluated whether each insurer failed to provide proper notice in any particular case. Nor can we predict, warrant, or guarantee any particular outcome or results in any potential litigation.
