I\’m sorry, you have reached a Rosie that is no longer in service at this time. Wonder where she is myself! Hey, Jewel, that was a cheap shot about not having many good posts here. There are so many of them here that I finally had to quit reading them – taking too much time. I am still one of your fans, though.
Poor Mary B. living in the sheltered State Farm world as a clerical employee. Sorry you have aboslutely no knowledge of the insurance business. Your boss should keep you away from the computer as your blind support of State Farm is hurting them more than helping.
This article is about State Farm is being sued by policyholders over the Katrina Disaster. However State Farm has become so bad even State Farm\’s own agents are taking State Farm to court. There are currently agent lawsuits in progress, or pending, in the states of Arkansas, Alabama, California, Louisiana, Maryland, Mississippi, Ohio, Texas, Utah and Washington and these are, or were, State Farm\’s own agents.
As for my agenda, I know right from wrong. I understand the injustices inflicted upon people like the Katrina victims by unethical corporate giants with established sops designed to frustrate and untimately screw these people out of the services for which they bargained and paid.
Donnie;
I dispute your last statement when you said that you know right from wrong. As an attorney you cannot, in good conscience, know right from wrong because if you did you could not function as an attorney. The key to any successful attorney is NOT knowing right from wrong but knowing what is best for your client. That is why attorneys have the highest rate of alcoholism and suicides in the country.
I know the whole point is to insulate you guys from human feelings, but real people with real lives in real distress are the ones being affected by the actions of SF upper mgt. Down with people, up with profits!
Very original attacking lawyers. That is what the insco pr firms want you to think about us. Sorry to ruin the charade, but I do care about my old clients as people.
Here is where you lose all credibility and you make it painfully obvious that you have no understanding of the insurance industry or the insurance contract. The contract is a contract of adhesion, meaning the policy holder has to conform and follow the policy guidelines. Insurance carrier do not \”bargain\” with the policy holder with respect to coverage.
It\’s pretty simple (that even a caveman can figure it out). Here is what we offer, this is covered and this is not covered. This is the premium, please pay or go away. The prospective policy holder either submits to the contract and buys the policy or they go elsewhere. No bargaining.
Here is an example of the mentality of the executives at State Farm. State Farm sued two of its agents and then had to pay both ends of the lawsuit when the agents filed claims for defense with State Farm (apparently State Farm didn\’t understand their own policy contracts). The trial lasted 6 weeks at a cost of approximately $6,000,000 ($2,000,000 for defense costs and $4,000,000 for State Farm\’s costs)and the jury found in favor of the agents ($12,600,000) and nothing for State Farm. The case #82819 in Mendocino County, California State Farm v Wier. State Farm has continued to pursue this litigation and now put themselves in a bad faith situation by refusing to pay during the appeal and review process and for suing the agents again in another jurisdiction (Sonoma County Case#234700). These are the same executives that gave themselves raises this year 82% for the CEO Ed Rust Jr.

You asked. I answered. You had nothing else to say? Are you a SF ee following the company memo?

Donnie –
I did. You did. Not really. No.
FYI – I was an adjuster for 15 years and worked for AAA and AIG. For the last 10 years I have been a licensed insurance agent and work for a Broker.
FYI – I like your brother Mark(y) Mark much better than you.
