Santa Clara, CA: A $19.5 million settlement has received preliminary approval potentially ending a Telephone Consumer protection Act (TCPA) class action brought against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.

According to court documents, more than 343,000 faxes were allegedly sent to over 131,000 unique fax numbers.
The proposed settlement provides for payments of up to $350 for the first fax received and up to an additional $565 total for subsequent faxes to class members who file claims.
