What Is the Loomis Armored Lawsuit About? Farmer v. Loomis Armored US, LLC, No. 2024 CH 04265

Lead plaintiff Matthew Farmer filed this lawsuit alleging that Loomis Armored US, LLC violated the Illinois Biometric Information Privacy Act (BIPA), 740 ILCS 14/1 — a state law that requires companies to get written consent before capturing a person’s biometric data, which includes face geometry scans. Farmer alleged that Loomis equipped its fleet vehicles with internal cameras that scanned drivers’ faces without first giving them written disclosures or obtaining their agreement in writing.

BIPA is one of the strictest biometric privacy laws in the country. It gives workers and consumers a private right of action when a company collects their biometric identifiers — like facial scans or fingerprints — without following the proper consent rules. If you drove one of these vehicles in Illinois during the covered period, this law was meant to protect you.

Loomis denies any wrongdoing and denies that it violated BIPA. The court has not made a finding of liability. Both sides agreed to settle to avoid the time and cost of continued litigation. For a broader look at how these cases work, see our guide to consumer class action lawsuits.

Who Qualifies for the Loomis Armored BIPA Settlement?

If you are wondering whether the Loomis Armored class action settlement covers you, here is the straightforward answer. The settlement class includes all individuals who drove a Loomis or Burroughs vehicle in Illinois between May 8, 2019 and March 5, 2026, while those vehicles were equipped with internal cameras — and who never signed a written biometric consent form.

You may qualify if:

• You were employed by Loomis Armored US, LLC or Burroughs, Inc.
• You drove a company vehicle in Illinois during that period
• The vehicle had an internal camera
• You never signed a “Notice on Security Measures for Loomis Teammates” consent form

You do NOT qualify if:

• You signed Loomis’s written biometric consent form
• You were a judge or magistrate presiding over this case
• You drove only outside Illinois during the covered period

If you were still employed by Loomis as of March 5, 2026, you do not need to file a claim. Your check will be mailed to you automatically if the settlement receives final approval. If you are a former employee, you must file a claim by June 2, 2026.

Workers asking “do I qualify for the Loomis BIPA settlement” should check their employment records to confirm they drove a company vehicle in Illinois within the covered dates. No documentation is required to file.

How Much Can You Get from the Loomis Armored Settlement?

The total settlement fund is $331,100. Each eligible class member who files a valid claim — or who was still employed by Loomis on March 5, 2026 — is estimated to receive approximately $550 before the deduction of attorneys’ fees, costs, and the $5,000 incentive award to the lead plaintiff.

The final payout per person may be lower. Class Counsel is seeking up to 40% of the settlement fund in attorneys’ fees and costs, and the court will determine the exact amount. The settlement administrator, Simpluris, will calculate each member’s final share after all approved claims are counted and deductions are applied.

This is a straightforward legal settlement payout — no tiers, no proof required. Every eligible class member receives the same pro-rata share of what remains in the fund after fees and costs.
