How to file this claim

If your UIM claim was reduced by Nationwide because of what the at-fault driver's insurer paid, you must file a claim to receive payment. If you simply held a UM/UIM policy during the covered period, you will receive an automatic premium refund and do not need to do anything. This claim form asks for 3 fields and 1 document.

  1. Determine which class you belong to: offset subclass (UIM claim was reduced by at-fault driver's insurer payment) or other settlement class member (held a UM/UIM policy during the covered period)
  2. If you are an offset subclass member, locate the unique ID and PIN printed on the postcard or email notice you received from the settlement administrator
  3. File your claim online at lucerouimsettlement.com/Login using your unique ID and PIN, OR download and print the PDF claim form from lucerouimsettlement.com/Content/Documents/AM256.pdf and mail it to the settlement administrator
  4. When completing your claim, provide the date of the loss or crash
  5. If your address has changed or changes before you receive payment, notify the settlement administrator so you receive your check
  6. Mail paper forms to: Patricia Lucero v. Nationwide Mutual Insurance Co., et al., c/o Settlement Administrator, P.O. Box 5358, Portland, OR 97208-5358

What the form asks

  • — The unique ID printed on the postcard or email notice you received from the settlement administrator (On the postcard or email notice mailed/emailed to you by the settlement administrator)
  • — The PIN printed on the postcard or email notice you received from the settlement administrator (On the postcard or email notice mailed/emailed to you by the settlement administrator)
  • — The date when the accident or loss event occurred that led to your UIM claim (Your insurance claim paperwork, police report, or correspondence with Nationwide about your UIM claim)

Documents you'll need

Watch out for

  • Other settlement class members do not need to file a claim — they will automatically receive a check to their last known address; taking no action is correct for this group
  • If you did not receive a notice or lost yours, you cannot use the online portal and must submit a PDF claim form by mail instead
  • If you moved or will move before payments are issued, you must proactively notify the settlement administrator or your check may be sent to an outdated address
  • If total valid offset subclass claims exceed the cap, each payment will be reduced proportionally (pro rata)

We prepare — you file on the official site yourself. This is not legal advice and is not an eligibility decision; the administrator and court decide.
