Nine Figure Settlement Approved in American Investors Life Insurance Class Action, Life Insurance


US District Court judge has approved a multi-million dollar settlement of a Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act class action which is found to be a worth of somewhere ranging from 184 million dollars to 530 million dollars, and this will highly depend upon the kind of reaction of plaintiffs towards the changes in the policy that will naturally occur from the suit. The plaintiffs in this particular class action are found to be senior investors who are complaining that they are found to be the victims of deceptive marketing practices that tempted them into making long-term annuities purchases. These long term annuity purchases are sometimes found to have the maturity dates that had exceeded the life expectancies of the investor. The US district court judge had actually assigned to preside over a number of class actions brought against AILI Co, on behalf of more than 387,000 investors. These alleged suits say that AILI conspired with trust attorneys’, annuity marketing firms, and sales agents to convince the senior most clients to purchase investments that were low volume ones and were not suitable for them, considering the ages and life expectancies of the people. When the terms of settlement are referred, AILI will remove the surrender charges.
