***Bar Date deadline for filing a proof of claim within the Trajector bankruptcy is October 31, 2026.***
Trajector Lawsuit Alleges Exploitation of Disabled Veterans
Aylstock, Witkin, Kreis & Overholtz (AWKO), along with co-counsel Bradley/Grombacher and Pittman, Dutton, Hellums, Bradley & Mann, P.C., filed a proposed nationwide federal class action against Trajector, Inc. and Trajector Medical, LLC—formerly known as Vet Comp and Pen Medical Consulting, LLC—on behalf of disabled U.S. veterans and their spouses.
The lawsuit alleges that Trajector charged veterans between approximately $4,500 and more than $20,000 for assistance connected to VA disability claims while allegedly operating without required VA accreditation. The complaint further alleges that the defendants used deceptive collection practices and failed to tell veterans that legitimate VA-accredited organizations may provide comparable claims assistance at no cost. The case was filed as Gilbert Quijada, Jr. v. Trajector, Inc., No. 2:26-cv-03792, in the U.S. District Court for the Central District of California.

What Is the Trajector Lawsuit?
The Trajector lawsuit concerns allegations that the company and its affiliated entities provided services related to the preparation, presentation, or prosecution of VA disability benefit claims without proper accreditation from the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs.
Federal law and VA regulations govern who may assist veterans with VA benefit claims and when fees may be charged. The proposed class action alleges that Trajector and Trajector Medical performed work such as gathering records, helping organize or complete claim materials, and advising veterans about their claims, while charging substantial fees that plaintiffs contend were unlawful.
The defendants dispute the allegations. Trajector has maintained that it provides independent medical evidence rather than representation or advocacy before the VA and that its services fall outside VA accreditation requirements. The allegations in the lawsuit have not been proven in court.
The Problem With Trajector’s Alleged Practices
According to the class action complaint, veterans who sought help with disability claims may have been exposed to aggressive and misleading business practices. The lawsuit alleges that the defendants:
- Charged veterans fees ranging from approximately $4,500 to more than $20,000 for assistance connected to VA disability claims.
Performed VA-claim-related services without proper VA accreditation. - Charged invoices based on increases in a veteran’s monthly disability benefit, allegedly using fee calculations that could equal multiples of the benefit amount.
- Used an automated monitoring tool, referred to in the complaint as “CallBot,” to access and monitor veterans’ disability-payment information.
- Used veterans’ Social Security numbers and dates of birth to track potential changes in disability benefits, then allegedly triggered billing activity when an increase was detected.
- Pursued payment through repeated calls and alleged threats of legal action or credit-related consequences.
Failed to disclose that accredited Veterans Service Organizations, including the American Legion, Veterans of Foreign Wars, and Disabled American Veterans, can provide qualifying claims assistance free of charge.
The complaint also alleges that the VA Office of General Counsel warned Trajector about its practices in 2017 and issued a more detailed cease-and-desist letter in 2022.
Trajector VA Disability Claim Fees
Veterans should not have to pay thousands of dollars to access benefits they earned through military service. Accredited attorneys, claims agents, and Veterans Service Organization representatives are subject to VA rules governing representation and fees. The lawsuit alleges Trajector operated outside that system while charging substantial amounts for work related to initial VA disability claims.
Free assistance may be available through VA-accredited Veterans Service Organizations, including:
- Disabled American Veterans (DAV).
- Veterans of Foreign Wars (VFW).
- The American Legion.
- Other VA-accredited representatives and service organizations.
The claims against Trajector seek to hold the defendants accountable for alleged unlawful fees and related conduct—not to limit a veteran’s access to legitimate, accredited assistance.
Who Qualifies for the Trajector Lawsuit?
You may qualify to participate in the proposed Trajector class action if you or a loved one:
- Is a U.S. military veteran or qualifying spouse of a veteran.
- Paid Trajector, Inc., Trajector Medical, Vet Comp, or Pen Medical Consulting for services related to a VA disability claim.
- Paid fees on or after March 1, 2022.
- Was charged thousands of dollars after receiving or pursuing a VA disability-rating increase.
- Received collection calls, payment demands, or alleged threats of legal action or credit damage.
- Believes Trajector accessed, monitored, or used personal information in connection with claimed VA benefits.
The proposed class seeks to represent veterans nationwide who paid the defendants from March 1, 2022, through the date a class may be certified. Class certification has not yet been granted by a court.
If you qualify, you may be eligible to pursue damages or other relief, including:
- Return of allegedly improper fees.
- Actual, statutory, or punitive damages, if available.
- Disgorgement of profits allegedly obtained through unlawful fees.
- Injunctive relief intended to stop alleged ongoing practices.
Trajector Lawsuit Status
The proposed federal class action was filed in April 2026. Afterward, Trajector Holdings and affiliated entities filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection in July 2026. The bankruptcy filing placed pending litigation on hold through the automatic stay process.
That development may affect the timing and procedure of the litigation, but it does not erase the allegations or necessarily eliminate the rights of veterans who believe they were improperly charged. The legal process remains ongoing, and a free case review can help determine what options may be available based on your circumstances.
