CINCINNATI, April 4, 2008 /PRNewswire/ -- The law firm of Strauss & Troy gives notice that they have filed a lawsuit seeking class action status in the United States District Court for the Western District of Kentucky at Louisville, on behalf of all persons who purchased the common stock of Humana, Inc. ("Humana") NYSE: HUM between February 4, 2008, and March 11, 2008, inclusive (the "Class Period").

The complaint alleges that Humana and certain of its officers and directors violated Sections 10(b) and 20(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 by failing to disclose adverse facts in regard to the operation of the business and the financial performance of the company. The complaint alleges that defendants issued a series of materially false and misleading statements concerning the company's operations, financial viability and performance.

On March 12, 2008, Humana announced that it would be revising its earnings estimates, following this announcement shares of Humana fell $6.50 per share, or approximately 13.7%.

Strauss & Troy seeks to recover damages on behalf of all those that purchased or otherwise acquired Humana common stock during the Class Period.
