Chicago could shell out over $38 million for red-light camera program settlement


The Chicago City Council is set to review a $38.75 million proposal to settle a class-action lawsuit against the city for its handling of the local red-light camera program.

The lawsuit alleged that the city did not give adequate notice to violators and charged improper late fees, according to WLS-TV. If agreed to, the settlement would allow around 1.2 million Chicago, Illinois, motorists to collect up to 50 percent refunds.

The multimillion-dollar settlement would affect drivers who received tickets from 2010 to 2015, and includes $28.75 million in cash refunds to motorists who paid fines and $12 million in debt forgiveness for those who never paid tickets.
