Blue Cross Class Action Settlement

Blue Cross of California has agreed to settle the claims of over 66,000 class members whose health insurance contracts were changed mid-year in breach of their contracts with Blue Cross. Kiesel Boucher & Larson prevailed at trial, and Blue Cross agreed to reimburse all class members 100% of their damages, after attorneys' fees and costs. This means that any class member who incurred damages will receive a check for 100% of their actual losses. "The ability for class members to recover 100% of actual losses is a truly outstanding result for class members," said Paul Kiesel, one of the co-lead class counsel.
