Progressive Faces Class Action Lawsuit Over Alleged Unlawful Denial of Collision Coverage in Massachusetts

Progressive Insurance faces a class action lawsuit for allegedly using a “binding restriction” to unlawfully deny collision coverage to policyholders. This practice is claimed to contravene Massachusetts law, which specifies only six scenarios under which insurers can refuse to offer optional coverages. The lawsuit challenges Progressive’s predetermined refusal to offer certain automobile insurance coverages, which plaintiffs argue is systemic and not supported by state law. Further details of the case can be accessed in the original coverage on the Connecticut Law Tribune.
