Park House BIPA Settlement

To receive payment from the Settlement Fund, you do not have to do anything. If the Court approves the Settlement, the Settlement Administrator will automatically send a check to your last known mailing address.

You may exclude yourself from the Settlement. If you do so, you will not receive any cash payment, but you will not release any claims you may have against the Released Parties (as that term is defined in the Settlement Agreement) and are free to pursue whatever legal rights you may have by pursuing your own lawsuit against the Released Parties at your own risk and expense. To exclude yourself from the Settlement, you must mail a signed letter to the Settlement Administrator at Park House BIPA Settlement, PO Box 2002, Chanhassen, MN 55317-2002, postmarked by APRIL 24, 2025. You may also submit a request for exclusion online by APRIL 24, 2025. The exclusion letter must state that you exclude yourself from this Settlement and must include the name and case number of this Litigation, as well as your full name, address, telephone number, and email address, and a statement that you wish to be excluded from the Settlement Agreement.

If you wish to object to the Settlement, you must submit your objection in writing to the Clerk of the Court of the Circuit Court of Cook County, Illinois, 50 W. Washington Street, #802, Chicago, IL 60602. The objection must be postmarked no later than APRIL 24, 2025. You must also send a copy of your objection to the attorneys for all Parties to the lawsuit, including Class Counsel (Joseph M. Dunklin of McGuire Law, P.C., 55 West Wacker Drive, 9th Floor, Chicago, Illinois 60601), as well as Defendant’s Counsel (Erin Bolan Hines of Cozen O’Connor, 123 N. Wacker Drive, Suite 1800, Chicago, IL, 60606), postmarked no later than APRIL 24, 2025. Any objection to the proposed Settlement must include your (i) full name, address, telephone number, and email address; (ii) the case name and number of this Litigation; (iii) all grounds for the objection, with factual and legal support for the stated objection, including any supporting materials; and (iv) your signature. If you hire an attorney in connection with making an objection, that attorney must also file with the court a notice of appearance by the objection deadline of APRIL 24, 2025. If you do hire your own attorney, you will be solely responsible for payment of any fees and expenses the attorney incurs on your behalf.
