What happened
This is a proposed class action against Pekin Insurance Co., apparently concerning an insurance-related dispute. The available docket entries do not detail the specific allegations; they show the case was removed from Cuyahoga County Court of Common Pleas to federal court and later remanded by agreement after only state-law claims remained. The allegations are unproven and the case is not a settlement.
Do you qualify?
No settlement exists yet, so there is nothing to file and no class definition to check. If the case settles, the settlement will define exactly who qualifies — watch this case and we'll let you know.
