Some proof

Unlock to file this claim

Drivers alleged that Suffolk County and its Traffic and Parking Violations Agency charged an unlawful $30 administrative fee on top of the fine for every red light camera violation since April 2013. The county denies wrongdoing but agreed to pay up to $45 million in cash to class members who file valid claims, with fees and administration paid separately.

Who qualifies

Any person or entity that paid a $30 administrative fee to Suffolk County for a red light camera violation at any time from April 1, 2013 to the present. This settlement covers Suffolk County only, not other New York counties.

What you need

You need your Class Member ID, which you can request through the Contact Us page of the settlement site (allow 1 to 2 business days). The site does not list other document requirements, but payment is tied to the fees you actually paid, so ticket records help if your payments are not in the county's data.

How to file

Submit the claim form online or mail it postmarked by December 8, 2026. The opt-out and objection deadline is November 9, 2026. The final approval hearing is December 8, 2026 at 10:00 a.m. Eastern.
