Class Action against Kansas City area hospitals for refusing to submit auto accident claims to a patient’s health insurance. The case was successfully appealed to the Missouri Court of Appeals for the Western District, creating new consumer-friendly case law in Missouri and paving the way for global settlement in a companion case, Welschmeyer v. St. Luke’s, et al. The settlement was valued at over $4,000,000.00 and included settlement payouts to class members, waiver of pending hospital liens and future injunctive relief.
