No. For this claim, we are directing you to the official claims administrator website. There are no fees from ClaimsHero.

Our goal is to raise awareness and guide you to the official claims website. We do not review your claim, handle your documents, monitor the status of your claim, contact you if there are any needed revisions or updates, or represent you in this specific matter.

You must file your claim directly on the official settlement website, which is managed by the court-appointed claims administrator. The only place to submit your claim is through the link provided above.
All questions about your claim must be directed to the claims administrator.
