Allianz Global Assistance (AGA) agreed to a $19.75 million class action lawsuit settlement to resolve claims that it charged an illegal assistance fee on travel and event protection plans offered through airline carriers and event ticket sellers.
According to the class action lawsuit, Allianz charged an illegal fee for “non-insurance assistance services” that was deceptively hidden from consumers at checkout. Plaintiffs claim these fees violated both California and Washington consumer protection laws.
Allianz Global Assistance offers travel insurance policies and other travel-related services.
Allianz hasn’t admitted wrongdoing but agreed to pay an undisclosed sum as part of a settlement to resolve the class action lawsuit.
