Problem:
Progressive Insurance engages in racial discrimination by offering $25,000 grants to ten “black-owned small businesses to use toward the purchase of a commerical vehicle.” Our client, a white male who owns a trucking company, received an email from Progressive, his insurance company, about a grant he otherwise would have qualified for if not for the color of his skin.
Action:
AFL, Mitchell Law PLLC, and Ashbrook Byrne Kresge LLC filed a class-action lawsuit against Progressive Preferred Insurance Company, Progressive Casualty Insurance Company, and Circular Board LLC.
Result:
This case is currently under appeal before the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Sixth Circuit.
