Reclaim your Agency!

June 26, 2023 By Ted Paris NAPAA Executive Director

I want to think each of you for being more than generous in helping NAPAA fund the lawsuit against Allstate. I have attached the orginial complaint to this for your review. This complaint has survived numerous motions to dismiss. Allstate tried to get each individual complaint dismissed, they tried to get NAPAA removed from the case, they tried to get the case severed into 5 separate lawsuits in 4 different legal venues. The only change from the original filing was we dropped Complaint III-Allstate "poaching of policies" via CCC because we could not get any agents to sign an affidavit stating that they were injured.

Despite their efforts and numerous filings, the Company has not been able to get this litigation thrown out of the Courts. But they have tried and every time they do something, it costs money. To date, donors such as yourself have been generous. It's been nearly three years since we started this journey together to make Allstate honor their contract with you. The lawsuit itself was filed in August 2021 in the State of Illinois.

We are nearly through discovery and soon we will be starting depositions. Discovery and taking depositions are expensive. The case is about to become even more expensive. To date, and in confidence, NAPAA has paid over $250,000 in legal fees. This will only increase as the months go by. We have a high degree of confidence that the case will head to trial in early to the mid part of 2024.

I hope you might consider making an additional donation. The case is designed to make Allstate become a true partner and not violate their agreement with you including not interfering with your ability to transfer your economic interest and stop them from imposing the phone system upon agencies.

www.napaausa.org is one way to donate and we also have a GoFundMe page .
