I mean... in fairness to Google, wouldn't this be an email address that has almost exclusively emailed a massive chunk of users all at once, without obvious connection, and with exactly identical content? The URL it's sent from doesn't resolve to a webpage, and isn't on the same domain I found attached to other information/copies of the settlement.

Yeah, class-action settlement emails always go straight to my spam folder because they do honestly look like spam/scams. A random email from a domain made specifically for the settlement, then links to forms that ask for personal information. It's not surprising that it gets flagged as spam often.
