A class action lawsuit was filed Tuesday, Feb. 23, 2021, in Nevada against 10 major auto insurance companies, contending that the companies charged excessive insurance premiums during the pandemic for failing to fairly take into account a drop in driving and crashes. Eglet, lead counsel for the law firm Eglet Adams, which filed the lawsuits, said "I believe that the rates should have been cut something in the order of 50-60%. These discounts that were given, were just totally woefully inadequate." (AP Photo/John Locher, File){/p}
