Don't worry, we've seen this before. Case dismissed because of lack of standing, due to the fact that there were no damages.

His rates doubling wouldn't be considered damages?

Yeah a case similar to this just got shot down in Washington state for that exact reason.

Double insurance rates don't qualify?

That’s not damage, it’s profit.
