Some potential Class Members have received mailings by a company or companies claiming they can help you file a claim in the Rocky Flats class action settlement. The mailings are labeled “FINAL NOTICE” and they give an incorrect February 17, 2017 deadline for filing a claim. This is false: The Court-ordered deadline for filing a claim is June 1, 2017.
The mailings are not the Court-approved Class Notice. They were not authorized by the Court.
The real Class Notice is available here. It is important to read the official Class Notice. The Class Notice contains information about the case, the settlement, and your rights as a potential Class Member.
The mailings were sent by a third-party claims processing company. YOU WILL PROBABLY RECEIVE LESS THAN YOUR FULL SETTLEMENT AMOUNT if you hire a claims processor. These companies charge a fee, usually a substantial percentage of your recovery.
You do not need a claims processor. The Settlement and Claims Administrator, Heffler Claims Group, was appointed by the Court to help you to file your claim, at no additional cost to you.
If you have any questions or need assistance with filing your claim, please contact the Settlement and Claims Administrator at 1-844-528-0187, or via the “Contact” section of this website. You may also contact Class Counsel:
