Common questions

Can I file a claim in the Amato v. Subaru of America Class Action case?
No. This case has been filed and is still being litigated — there is no settlement, no claim form, and no payout. Many class actions are dismissed or never certified, so a case being filed does not mean anyone will be paid. If it settles and a claim process opens, that will be announced by a court-appointed settlement administrator.
Where is the Amato v. Subaru of America Class Action case being heard?
The case is before the Court of Appeals for the Third Circuit, case number 26-1277. Everything alleged in the complaint is an allegation, not a proven fact.
