Law.com Features Brian Glasser on State Farm Class Action Jury Verdict
On September 10, 2025, Law.com published an article highlighting Bailey Glasser founding partner Brian Glasser and his role as lead trial counsel in a major class action verdict against State Farm Mutual Automobile Insurance Company. A federal jury in Arkansas unanimously found that State Farm used a flawed vehicle valuation system to underpay approximately 37,000 policyholders on total-loss claims.
In this interview, Brian highlights that the jury verdict proves class actions remain an essential tool for protecting consumers against powerful corporations, with damages in this case estimated to be between $30 to $40 million.
Brian points out that this decision is part of a larger national fight over whether class actions will continue to be available in consumer cases, and he issued a warning about the growing role of algorithms and artificial intelligence in shaping everyday decisions: “We have to hold the people who build the algorithms to some kind of standard of ethics and propriety . . . . The law has not caught up to the way computers run our lives."
