Looking for a settlement you can still file?
This one is closed, but our 60-second eligibility quiz finds the ones that are still open.
Who Was Eligible?
Who the settlement covered:
- You are a U.S. citizen and NOT a Florida resident — the class expressly excludes Florida residents
- You bought non-prescription, non-promotional Costa sunglasses before January 1, 2018
- Costa charged you more than $11.95 between April 3, 2015 and January 28, 2026 to repair or replace damage it attributed to accident, normal wear and tear, or misuse
- No claim form and no receipts — Costa's repair records identify the class, and notices carry a Unique ID and PIN
How Much Did It Pay?
The $23.9 million fund pays automatically: a pro rata (equal-share) cash payment for each eligible repair you paid for. The per-repair amount depends on how many eligible repairs are in the class. Use the Unique ID and PIN from your notice at the settlement site to choose how you want to be paid.How you get paid
You did not have to file anything. The steps below describe how the administrator pays class members and what you can still do to make sure your payment reaches you.
- There is no claim form — class members who do nothing receive a cash payment after final approval
- To pick your payment method, submit a payment election at the official settlement site using the Unique ID and PIN from your emailed or mailed notice
- To exclude yourself or object, act by October 26, 2026, following the instructions on the settlement site

Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need to file a claim in the Costa Del Mar repair settlement?
No. Payment is automatic: a pro rata cash payment for each eligible repair, drawn from the $23.9 million fund. The Unique ID and PIN on your notice let you choose a payment method at the settlement site.
Who is in the Reed v. Costa Del Mar class?
U.S. citizens, excluding Florida residents, who bought non-prescription, non-promotional Costa sunglasses before January 1, 2018 and paid Costa more than $11.95 between April 3, 2015 and January 28, 2026 to repair or replace damage attributed to accident, wear and tear, or misuse.
Is this the Costa settlement that was cancelled?
No — that was the earlier Smith v. Costa Del Mar combined settlement, vacated on appeal in Smith v. Miorelli, 93 F.4th 1206 (11th Cir. 2024). The settlement site confirms the Smith deal is no longer in effect. This Reed settlement is the separate, later agreement, and the Smith case settled again in Florida state court over warranty-covered repair fees.
What is the deadline in the Costa Del Mar settlement?
October 26, 2026, to exclude yourself or object. There is no claim deadline because there is no claim form — staying in the class is what gets you paid.
