    I want my money back. These sisters didnt steal from a big corporation – they stole from me. State Farm policyholders own the company, and the selfish actions of these $150K sisters have harmed every policyholder, not to mention agent and employee of State Farm. When they get out of the big house in 12 to 24 months, let them begin atonement to the rest of us by participating in an easy payment plan until they have made us whole.

    Please look at the comments made in this article and ask yourself if State Farm did nothing wrong why are they trying to hide everything? Wouldn’t an honest company want to set the record straight? Look at some of the comments from the article “used documents to unlawfully extort civil settlements”. This is a statement from State Farm and maybe it should be asked of them when it would ever be “lawful” to extort something? The fact they claim to have been extorted would seem to show they have something to hide. If their documents didn’t show any fraud why would they be worried? Their engineering reports apparently “showed that State Farm fraudlently attributed wind damages to water which would have passed along the costs to the National Flood Insurance Program”. But rather than come clean State Farm wants to get an injunction and prohibit the documents from public view. State Farm management has a propensity for telling lies and they have been found guilty by juries in several recent cases. Our case #234700 in Sonoma County California should be going to trial in the next few weeks and should shed additional light on the tactics used by State Farm. Here are some of the things that will be presented: bad faith; manufacturing of evidence and perjury. Kind of sounds like the same stuff they are trying to cover up in the Katrina cases doesn’t it?

    Rich, wake up. Read all of the available information on these issues. State Farm is not trying to hide anything related to Katrina. One of the Rigsby sisters admitted in her latest deposition that 2nd engineering report in the McIntosh case was more accurate & complete than the original. Don’t bury your head in the sand and ignore the massive amounts of information that supports State Farm’s position. And no, I don’t work for State Farm.

    Rich:
    You really do need to catch up. Most of the nonsense you state has been investigted and disproven long ago.
    Good luck with your case against State Farm. From the tone of your comments, you’re going to need it!

    State Farm has a history of cover ups. Just look at the Oklahoma City mess with the tornados. Their claims department loves to deny claims. I know this because one of their customers hit my parked car, and somehow that was my fault. I won in court without even hiring an attorney to represent me, it was that obvious!

    Not only should they be sanctioned but they deserve jail time (min 5 years). These sisters and scruggs are even more corrupt than “the insurance companies”.

    There is a big difference between the mishandling of one individual claim due to the bad judgment of an individual adjuster and the allegation of company wide corruption or bad faith practices.

    Well Mark your claim was denied and it was your fault because you were parked in a red zone, no parking zone, in front of a fire hydrant, in a handicapped parking spot and you’re not handicapped. I’m kidding but you see my point. I used to deal with idiot insureds that would demand me to deny liability in a case like yours even though they were at fault. Sometimes, as an adjuster, it’s easier to do what the insured wants and then let it end up in court….

    You people are so incredably naive. It must be nice to have a fed judge in your pocket.
