LIBERTY MUTUAL SUED FOR UNFAIRLY DROPPING CALIFORNIA HOMEOWNERS' POLICIES
New class action lawsuit alleges Liberty Mutual wrongfully denied policy renewals based on misleading and false property condition reports.
SAN DIEGO, Calif. – A class action lawsuit has been filed against Liberty Mutual Insurance Company and Liberty Mutual Fire Insurance Company for unjustly non-renewing homeowners' insurance policies in California. The lawsuit, brought by Singleton Schreiber LLP on behalf of plaintiff Maria Badin and similarly affected policyholders, claims that Liberty Mutual relied on inaccurate aerial inspection reports to deny policy renewals, leaving homeowners scrambling for expensive alternatives.
The lawsuit alleges that Liberty Mutual conducted flawed aerial inspections, falsely reporting issues such as algae, mildew, or mold on homeowners’ roofs. Despite homeowners providing evidence refuting these claims, Liberty Mutual refused to reverse these decisions.
"Homeowners who have faithfully paid their premiums for decades are being blindsided by these wrongful cancellations," said Michelle Meyers, attorney at Singleton Schreiber LLP. "Liberty Mutual is exploiting inaccurate inspections to avoid covering homeowners, forcing them into costly and inferior insurance plans."
The lawsuit seeks damages, restitution, and an injunction to stop Liberty Mutual from continuing these practices, alleging violations of California's Unfair Competition Law and breach of contract.
