Rivian Class Action Lawsuit 2026, $250M Settlement Claim Deadline April 20, Eligibility and Payout Details
Can you file a Rivian lawsuit claim in 2026? Yes. Rivian Automotive agreed to pay $250 million to settle securities fraud claims, and if you bought Rivian Class A common stock between November 10, 2021, and March 10, 2022, you have until April 20, 2026 to submit your claim at www.RivianSecuritiesLitigation.com.
Missing this deadline means losing your share of the settlement.
Rivian Settlement: Who Qualifies and How Much You’ll Get
Eligibility Requirements
You qualify if you purchased or acquired Rivian Automotive Inc. (NASDAQ: RIVN) Class A common stock between November 10, 2021, and March 10, 2022, according to the U.S. District Court for the Central District of California.
This covers anyone who bought shares during Rivian’s IPO period when the company allegedly misled investors about vehicle pricing and production costs.
Expected Payout Per Share
The settlement administrator estimates approximately $1.18 per allegedly damaged share before deductions for legal fees, taxes, and administration costs. Your actual payment depends on how many valid claims are filed and how many shares you owned.
The Lawsuit: What Rivian Was Accused Of
Securities Fraud Allegations
Lead plaintiff Charles Larry Crews Jr. filed the class action (Case No. 2:22-cv-01524-JLS-E) alleging Rivian violated the Securities Act of 1933 and the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.
The lawsuit claims Rivian’s IPO documents contained materially false statements. Specifically, the bill of materials cost for R1S SUVs and R1T pickup trucks “far exceeded” the retail prices advertised to customers, forcing Rivian to announce sudden price increases in March 2022.
The $250 Million Settlement Breakdown
Rivian will pay the settlement through $67 million from directors’ and officers’ liability insurance and $183 million in cash on hand. The company denies all allegations and maintains the settlement is “not an admission of fault or wrongdoing.”
Similar to the Celgene $239 Million Securities Class Action Lawsuit Settlement, Investors Can File Claims Until April 13, 2026, this case involves alleged misrepresentations that artificially inflated stock prices.

Important Lawsuit Updates
Court Approval Hearing Scheduled
The U.S. District Court for the Central District of California will hold a settlement hearing on May 15, 2026, at 10:30 AM Pacific Time before Judge Josephine L. Staton.
The court will decide whether to grant final approval to the settlement. Until then, the settlement remains subject to court approval.
ERISA Plan Participants
If you own Rivian stock through an employee retirement or benefit plan covered by ERISA, do not file an individual claim. Plan trustees must submit claims for employee plan transactions.
What Happens If You Don’t File?
If you’re a class member and don’t submit a valid claim form, you won’t receive any settlement payment. However, you’ll still be bound by the court’s judgment and release all claims against Rivian and other defendants.
This is similar to other securities fraud settlements like the Kraft Heinz Class Action Lawsuits From Securities Claims To Food Labeling Controversies, where non-participation meant forfeiting compensation rights.
