LOS ANGELES (Legal Newsline) - A California man is suing two health insurance companies, alleging they texted his cellphone without his consent.

Jason Alan, individually and for all others similarly situated, filed a class action lawsuit May 10 in U.S. District Court for the Central District of California against Vital One Health and Aetna Life Insurance Company, doing business as Coventry Healthcare, alleging negligent and willful violations of the Telephone Consumer Protection Act (TCPA).

The suit alleges the defendants used an automatic telephone dialing system to send text messages soliciting their services to cellphones without the recipients' consent, a violation of the TCPA. 

Alan and others in the class seek a jury trial, statutory damages and injunctive relief. They are represented by attorneys Todd M. Friedman and Adrian R. Bacon of the Law Offices of Todd M. Friedman in Beverly Hills, California.
