Scroggins v. LexisNexis Risk Solutions FL, Inc.
Filed: November 4, 2025 ?§ 3:22-cv-00545-MHL-SLS
A $13.5M class action settlement offers cash to those who LexisNexis FL may have allegedly reported as deceased when they were, in fact, alive.
LexisNexis Risk Solutions FL has agreed to a $13,500,000 settlement to resolve a class action lawsuit that accused the data analytics company of wrongfully reporting death notations for consumers who were, in fact, alive.
The LexisNexis class action settlement received preliminary approval from the court on November 4, 2025 and covers two distinct groups of consumers:
- All individuals who, between August 11, 2017 and November 4, 2025, contacted LexisNexis FL to inquire about a deceased notation on a company product and for which LexisNexis FL has a record of the inquiry that identifies it as related or comparable to “deceased,” “death,” or “dead” (the “Contact Members” class); and
- All individuals about whom LexisNexis FL, between August 11, 2017 and November 4, 2025, ran an identity verification and/or fraud prevention transaction for which the company has a record that the transaction returned a deceased notation, for which LexisNexis FL’s system reflected a deceased notation associated with the individual’s identifying information received from national credit reporting agencies, and the individual was not deceased (the “Product Members” class).
Per court documents, approximately 1,700 people are included in the Contact Members class, and approximately 59,000 people are covered by the Product Members class.
The court-approved website for the LexisNexis deceased report settlement can be found at https://www.DeceasedReportSuit.com/.
According to the official website for the deal, LexisNexis FL settlement class members are eligible to receive a one-time, pro-rated cash payment from the settlement fund in an equal amount, regardless of which subclass they are covered by.
Importantly, consumers included in the Contact Members class do not need to do anything to receive their payout from the settlement fund, as their information is already processed within LexisNexis FL company systems. However, consumers covered by the Product Members class must submit a valid, timely claim form in order to receive compensation from the class action settlement.
