CCC Announces Signing Of Settlement Agreement In National Class Action Litigation Pending in Madison County, IL

         Settlement calls for resolution of class action suits
          against the Company in Madison County involving its
         valuation product but includes no admission of fault

   CCC Information Services Inc., a subsidiary of CCC Information
Services Group Inc. (Nasdaq:CCCG), today announced it and 15 of its
customers signed a settlement agreement with the plaintiffs in various
class action suits pending in Madison County, Illinois. These
consolidated suits, In re Total Loss Class Action Litigation, Case
Nos. 01 L 157, et al., relate to the valuation of vehicles that have
been declared total losses by insurers. This settlement includes no
admission of liability or wrongdoing by CCC or its customers. The
proposed classes represent all customers of the settling carriers who
had a total loss claim from January 28, 1989 to the present, for which
CCC's product and service (now called CCC Valuescope(R)) were used to
perform the valuation.
   The settlement itself is subject to Court approval, and a motion
seeking preliminary approval of the settlement was filed with the
Court today. Notice to members of the settling classes will then be
issued, and the Company anticipates that a final approval hearing will
take place before the end of the year.
   "We are pleased that we have been able to work with our
participating insurance company customers and agree upon terms that
are equitable for all involved," said Robert S. Guttman, Senior Vice
President and General Counsel for CCC. "The Company has a strong
belief in the integrity and accuracy of our valuation product and
service. We concluded, however, that settlement of these suits is the
best course of action in order to avoid further protracted litigation,
expense and distraction."
   Terms of the settlement agreement will require CCC to pay notice
and administration fees and other costs associated with the
settlement. The Company estimates that these costs will total
approximately $8 million, and including available insurance proceeds
of $1.8 million, the Company is fully reserved for these payments.
Other settlement costs, including claims by class members, will be
paid by the insurance companies that are participating in the
settlement. In addition to its settlement contribution, CCC will also
engage the services of an independent, third party as a
Court-appointed monitor to periodically review CCC Valuescope's
methodology for five years following settlement and to oversee the
performance of various product validation studies.
