Ryan Chambers v. Farmers Insurance of Columbus, Inc., Case No. 113659

(Eighth District Court of Appeals of Ohio, Jan 2, 2025 – Judge Emanuella D. Groves) (Judgment affirmed in part, that the trial court did not abuse its discretion in granting Chambers’ motion for class certification for breach-of-contract for unpaid sales tax in claim payments, and reversed in part for the limited purpose of modifying the class definition to limit it to insureds who suffered a total-loss property damage claim under an automobile policy; holding that “the trial court found predominance was met because the common legal and factual issues were more substantial than the individual damages expressed by Farmers.”)
