Gee, do you think this may have caused a rate increase for the owners of State Farm (the policyholders)?
…For example, in November 1999, an Illinois judge in a county adjacent to Madison County awarded a national class of plaintiffs $1.2 billion in a lawsuit against State Farm Insurance.[53] State Farm had allegedly been “fraudulent” in authorizing the use of generic parts in automobile repairs, even though using generic parts was not only allowed but actually required by some states to reduce insurance costs. The local Illinois judge thus unilaterally overrode the considered policy decisions of many other states’ democratically elected officials.
I don’t think nameless understood my posting. In my state it was required by LAW to offer quality replacement parts.
The body shops I referred wouldn’t use them and my company never declined claims payment based on OEM instead of QRP’S. As stated in the article, the class action judge usurped the state authority enacted by elected officials on behalf of citizens. Did he call me ignorant?
You’re ignorant- and the same type of loser that complains about the high price of insurance. These parts are guaranteed, same warranty, same standards and make it possible to keep rates in check. Do some research before posting. “Payola”-give me a break…
For the person who declined info under the “posted by” column…Please keep your sarcastic remarks and personal attacks to yourself. Other than that, your information was interesting.
So when do all the defendants in those fraudulent class actions get their money back? Who pays to repair the reputations of lawyers everywhere who practice with integrity and honor? Class action litigation has become the smarmiest, lowest, most rot-infested practice of law there is, and this scumbag was a “pioneer” in making it that way. All I can say is that the growth of the class-action industry is the bane of the industrialized society that we once were, and the U.S. is now rapidly descending into second-world status…may one day enjoy third-world status. Why? Because we’ve spawned an army of scum whose sole purpose in life is self-enrichment based on the details and minutia of corporate endeavor. 33 months is much to lenient for this lowlife maggot.
LOL, that whole non-OEM parts suit was legit, not a shakedown. As a former SF adjuster, I can tell you that they wanted everyone to believe that those parts were every bit as good as OEM when in fact it has been proven they were inferior. “CAPA” certified, what a joke. CAPA was a SF & Allstate creation so it would sound legitimate. So essentially SF would say “of course they are good parts, if you don’t believe us just ask… well, us.”

Must have been payola to the judge, eh?

Does he get to keep his license to practice law? Hopefully it will be revoked and he will do some public service somewhere, like in Somalia!
