Bowerman v. Field Asset Services is the second landmark labor misclassification case brought against Field Asset Services — now operating as Assurant Field Asset Services — and one of the most consequential legal actions in the history of the mortgage field services industry. Fred and Julia Bowerman contracted with FAS across 16 California counties from 2007 through 2012, during which time FAS systematically misclassified them and over 150 similarly situated workers as independent contractors rather than employees, evading overtime compensation and expense reimbursement obligations in the process. The case wound through federal court for nearly a decade, producing a bellwether jury trial, a $2 million verdict, and a Ninth Circuit opinion that became required reading for every labor attorney with clients in the property preservation space.
