State Farm Auto Parts Litigation - Answers to Common Questions.
Defendants deny plaintiffs' allegations.
Crash parts are those parts typically repaired or replaced as a result of crash damage, rather than as a result of normal vehicle usage. You are not a class member if your vehicle was repaired by State Farm after an accident caused by a State Farm insured. The use of non-OEM crash parts will be reflected either in State Farm's records, or on your State Farm repair estimate. If your estimate had these or similar terms, then it was calculated using non-OEM crash parts and you are a member of the class. The class action is a legal device to allow a number of individual claims to be settled in one lawsuit.
