IF YOU HAD A WORKERS’ COMPENSATION CLAIM ADMINISTERED BY SEDGWICK CLAIMS MANAGEMENT SERVICES, INC. (“SEDGWICK”), BETWEEN SEPTEMBER 12, 2010 AND NOVEMBER 15, 2018, AND YOU SATISFIED SOME PORTION OF YOUR CORRESPONDING WORKERS’ COMPENSATION LIEN AS PROVIDED FOR UNDER N.J.S.A. 34:15-40 (“SECTION 40”), THEN YOU MAY BE ENTITLED TO A PAYMENT FROM A CLASS ACTION SETTLEMENT
NOTICE OF PENDING CLASS ACTION AND PROPOSED SETTLEMENT
READ THE NOTICE FULLY AND CAREFULLY; THE PROPOSED SETTLEMENT MAY AFFECT YOUR RIGHTS!
The Superior Court of New Jersey, Law Division: Middlesex County has authorized the Notice; it is not a solicitation from a lawyer.
| SUMMARY OF YOUR OPTIONS AND THE LEGAL EFFECT OF EACH OPTION | |
|---|---|
DO NOTHING |
If you do nothing, you will remain a member of the Settlement Class and will be mailed a settlement payment. |
EXCLUDE YOURSELF FROM THE SETTLEMENT; RECEIVE NO PAYMENT BUT RELEASE NO CLAIMS |
You can choose to exclude yourself from the Settlement or “opt out.” This means you choose not to participate in the Settlement and cannot object to the Settlement. You will keep your individual claims against Sedgwick but you will not receive a payment. Opting out allows you to file a separate individual lawsuit against Sedgwick. |
OBJECT TO THE SETTLEMENT |
To object to the Settlement, you must submit your objections in writing by filing them with the Court. If your objection is overruled by the Court, then you will receive a payment and you will not be able to separately sue Sedgwick for the claims asserted in this litigation (or the claims that could have been asserted). If the Court agrees with your objection, the Settlement may not be approved. |
These rights and options – and the deadlines to answer them – along with the material terms of the Settlement are explained in the Notice.
