• A class action claims Progressive County Mutual Insurance Company paid medical bills submitted for personal injury protection (PIP) benefits under Texas auto policies after the deadlines in the Texas Prompt Payment of Claims Act and the Texas Insurance Code
• It also claims Progressive did not pay the required statutory remedies on every late payment
• Progressive denies wrongdoing and says it followed Texas law and its insurance policies
