Larusso v. Nationwide Litigation

This Action has been brought by the Class Representatives against Nationwide Insurance. The Second Amended Class Action Complaint ("Complaint") alleges that Nationwide Insurance, among other acts and practices, improperly reduced payments to members of the Settlement Class ("Settlement Class Members"), including the Class Representatives, for PIP benefits based on the application of insurance cost containment adjustments and reductions to PIP medical expense claims, including the use of preferred provider organization ("PPO"), usual and customary ("UCR") and medical necessity reductions. The Complaint alleges that this conduct violates various Florida and federal statutes and also seeks recovery on various common law theories.

Nationwide Insurance denies all allegations of fault, wrongdoing or liability in the Action and does not concede any infirmity in its defenses. Nationwide Insurance maintains that its acts and practices are, and always have been, in full compliance with all legal, contractual or other requirements.

This Action is one of several similar actions (the "Consolidated Actions") pending in the Court against several automobile insurers, which have been consolidated for certain purposes. Since the initial complaints were filed, substantial litigation has occurred in the Consolidated Actions.
