This is the official Court website for the Froeber v. Liberty Mutual Fire Insurance Company, an Oregon case involving PIP and MedPay claims under auto policies issued by Liberty Mutual and several affiliates. A proposed settlement has been reached in a class action lawsuit about payments to medical providers and injured people for medical treatment under certain auto policies issued by Liberty Mutual Fire Insurance Company and several of its affiliates. The lawsuit alleges that Liberty improperly used undisclosed computerized bill-review systems to limit payments to medical providers and/or reimbursements to injured people for medical treatments covered by Medical Payments and/or Personal Injury Protection coverage provided under personal auto policies. Liberty denies these allegations and maintains that it did not act wrongfully or unlawfully. To resolve this matter, however, Liberty has agreed to pay money to certain claimants and providers who submit valid claim forms.

Please do not call Liberty or Vinson & Elkins with questions about your claim, as they are not permitted to offer you advice about your claims. If your questions have not been answered by the detailed notice available on this website, please leave a message at 1-866-308-7616. Please do not call Liberty, Vinson & Elkins, or the court.

Please send all changes of address, in writing, to Liberty Froeber Claims, P.O. Box 2003, Chanhassen, MN 55317-2003.
