How much does the Samsara Dash Camera BIPA Settlement pay?

Estimated payout: All cash payments will be adjusted pro rata based on the number of Class Members that participate in the Settlement.. The total settlement fund is $4.0M. Actual amounts depend on how many valid claims are filed — most settlements divide a fixed fund pro rata, so a higher claim rate means a smaller individual check. An "up to" figure is a cap, not a guarantee.

What is the claim deadline for the Samsara Dash Camera BIPA Settlement?

This settlement is closed to new claims — the deadline was September 29, 2025. Once a claim deadline passes you generally forfeit your share, even if you qualified.

Is the Samsara Dash Camera BIPA Settlement notice real, or a scam?
