Trajector VA Disability Fees Lawsuit, Were You Affected? — Quijada v. Trajector, Inc., No. 2:26-cv-03792

If Trajector billed you thousands after your VA disability rating went up, you weren’t imagining the sting. A federal class action, Quijada v. Trajector, Inc., accuses the company of charging veterans for VA claims help it wasn’t accredited to sell. Here’s the twist: Trajector just filed bankruptcy, and that filing has frozen the case before it could really start.

Who Is Trajector and Why Are They Being Sued for Overcharging Veterans?

Trajector is a Florida company that markets itself as a “medical evidence” service for VA and Social Security disability claims. It built that business by gathering veterans’ records and flagging conditions it says were overlooked. The lawsuit claims Trajector then charged for that help, five times a veteran’s monthly benefit increase in some cases, without the VA accreditation federal law requires for anyone charging a fee.

What Did Trajector Do to Veterans, and When?

Federal law has barred paid, unaccredited help with initial VA disability claims since long before Trajector existed. Only VA-accredited attorneys, agents, or representatives can charge for that work under 38 U.S.C. § 5904. The complaint says Trajector ignored that line entirely.

According to the lawsuit, Trajector used an automated system called CallBot to check veterans’ VA accounts for benefit increases. When one showed up, the company allegedly sent an invoice, sometimes for $20,000, and started calling to collect. Attorney Kiley Grombacher put it bluntly: Trajector “took advantage of these people, violated the law.” You can read more background on the company’s history of VA warning letters in our earlier coverage of the Trajector Medical lawsuit.

That bill wasn’t a service fee. It was money the law says veterans should never have owed in the first place.

How Does Trajector’s Bankruptcy Affect This Lawsuit?

Here’s the part most coverage of this case misses. On July 23, 2026, Trajector Holdings, LLC and 21 related companies, including both defendants in Quijada, filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy in the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the Middle District of Florida, Case No. 3:26-bk-03286-JAB, before Judge Jacob A. Brown. Court filings put the group’s liabilities near $65 million against a maturing $62.9 million loan its lenders wouldn’t extend.

Two things were already slowing the veterans’ lawsuit down. First, it had been paused while a court decided whether the case belongs in arbitration instead of open court. Now bankruptcy law adds a second freeze on top of that one. The moment a company files Chapter 11, federal law automatically pauses lawsuits against it under 11 U.S.C. § 362(a) — no judge has to sign anything for that pause to take effect. Trajector’s bankruptcy filing points to its own numbers: services suspended in 23 states since 2024, and roughly a 60% revenue drop tied to new state laws barring unaccredited companies from charging veterans at all.

Two separate legal brakes are now on this case at once. That doesn’t mean it’s over — it means the finish line just moved further away.

Are You Part of the Trajector VA Fees Lawsuit?

Here’s exactly how to know if this case includes you.

• Veterans who paid Trajector or Trajector Medical a fee after a VA disability rating increase
• Spouses who paid on a veteran’s behalf for the same service
• Anyone billed through Trajector’s CallBot-triggered invoicing system
• People who signed a Trajector services contract but never actually paid do not automatically qualify — payment is the alleged harm

Trajector Veterans Outside California — Are You Still Covered?

Yes. The claims rest on federal law, so the proposed class is nationwide, not limited to California even though the case was filed there.

Not sure if you qualify for the Trajector VA disability fees lawsuit? A free consultation with a consumer protection attorney familiar with veterans’ benefits law can help you sort that out before any bankruptcy claims deadline arrives.

What Are Trajector Veterans Asking the Court to Award?

The complaint seeks the return of fees veterans paid, a court order stopping Trajector from charging unaccredited fees going forward, and damages under California’s unfair competition law. No money yet. No claim form yet.

What Could Trajector Veterans Receive If This Case Moves Forward?

It’s impossible to predict. That’s true in any active lawsuit, and it’s doubly true here, where arbitration motions and a bankruptcy case both stand between veterans and any recovery. What plaintiffs actually get, if anything, depends on how the arbitration fight resolves, how the bankruptcy case treats their claims, and whether Trajector has any money left to pay once secured lenders take their share.

What Should Trajector Veterans Do Right Now?

1. Don’t panic. Nothing requires you to file anything in the Quijada lawsuit itself while it’s stayed.
2. Save your Trajector contract, invoices, payment records, and VA award letters now, before any records get harder to reach.
3. Write down what you paid and when your VA rating increase actually happened.
4. Watch the Trajector bankruptcy case, No. 3:26-bk-03286-JAB, for a bar date — the deadline to file a proof of claim as a creditor. Missing it could cost you a shot at recovery even if the lawsuit eventually succeeds.
5. Monitor the Quijada docket in the Central District of California for updates on the arbitration motion.
6. Talk to a class action lawsuit attorney about whether filing your own proof of claim in the bankruptcy makes sense for your situation.

That bankruptcy bar date is the one deadline in this whole story that could actually pass you by.
