The Texas Department of Insurance Complaint Information for 2004 proves Farmers Insurance has the MOST JUSTIFIED COMPLAINTS!! (as stated in an earlier post) This is the latest data that is available on their web site: http://www.tdi.state.tx.us/consumer/cpportal.html
The 2005 complaint numbers you are referring to must be fiction; otherwise we expect to see a post of the URL of these 2005 complaint numbers. If you prefer not to post the complaint information then we will just assume you made those up, which is probably the case.
Farmers Insurance is the WORST or one of the WORST insurance companies around. Farmers Insurance is spiraling down out of control. On the one hand it pressures its State Offices, District Managers and Agents to SELL, SELL, SELL then on the other hand it gives incentives to its Adjusters to DENY CLAIM, LOW BALL, DENY CLAIM, LOWBALL. I don’t know how Farmers Insurance agents sleep at night after selling policies to people knowing full well how they are going to be treated when they file a claim. I don’t know how Adjusters sleep at night after low-balling insured and third parties. Farmers Insurance’s demise is at its own peril! The negative messages you see on this board are the cause of its own actions by mistreating its District Managers, Agents and Customers etc. Farmers Insurance is a bad faith low balling company. The crap they sell as insurance should actually be called “false sense of security”. Customers feel and think they are insured, but when a claim is filed, Farmers Insurance uses all its power and resources to lowball or deny the claim. Ethel Adam’s said it correctly when she stated, “\”This is everybody’s worst nightmare. You know you have insurance — you’ve paid for it — and you’ve got these massive injuries. Then to be told, ‘No, you don’t have coverage,’ it was like someone punched me in the stomach. It makes you physically ill.\”
The truth of it is the public, customers, agents and employees are starting to actually wake up to the fact of how they are being treated by Farmers Insurance. Farmers Insurance is ruining peoples lives on its path to profitability. Lives both inside and outside of the company. This WILL catch up to them sooner or later unless things change.
\”give me a break lets look at some real facts 350 claims over a 4yr. period when farmers processes 2.75 million a yr just in ca. alone ask any farmers policy holder today about farmers 24/7 help point claims service when the majority of claims today are reported they are contacted by a claims adjuster within 4hrs of reporting there claim show me any other carrier that has that kind of claims service i am prood to be a farmers agent for over 50yrs.\”
Can\’t spell. No punctuation. Would you buy from this guy?
They need to look at Farmers claims in other states. Im dealing with a claim now where a policyholder of Farmers was at fault in a multiple car wreck in NC. There were 5 witnesses. Farmers has drug their feet paying the medical bills; its been almost 8 months now and they have paid nothing. Im now having problems getting the adjuster to even take or return my phone calls. Lawyers wont take it because the personal injuries were not severe. The NC Insurance Commissioners office has advised me to fine a formal complaint. But I want the bills paid now and I also want to get reinbursed for out of pocket expenses and lost wages. Anybody outside of CA having this type of problem??
\”John Hageman, Mark Toohey and Kevin Kelso all called me about this claim and wanted Mr. Nixon to be a friend of Farmers in the legislative session. Each one strongly suggested that an additional payment would be very helpful to the cause.\”
E-mail from Jim Daues (Vice President for Property Claims) to Adjuster Isabel Arnold in regards to Nixon’s (tort reform legislator) claim
Everyone on this board needs a life, hobby, something! I have had Farmers for 17 years and have been pleased. I work in an industry that deals with insurance companies on a daily basis and have always found them pleasant and professional. Those on here crying that there claim was not paid, read your policy. The attorney *****ing and moaning – what your commission check not high enough because you could not inflate an injury? THOSE THAT ***** ON HERE ARE LOSERS, plain and simple
So your experience with Farmers was great. You are an exception. In California, Farmers is known as a company who drags their policyholders in and out of court. They\’ve fallen hard and fast in California. DOI Chief Garamendi thinks they suck too.
It is a sad state of affairs with Farmers in California, the core products, particularly homeowners are simply not remotely competitive from a pricing standpoint not to mention when the dwelling limits are above 1,000,000 they will not even offer extended replacement cost coverage. Claims is poor, claims adjusters are bitter and the company feels the policy run off is due to agents? You just have to laugh or you would be bitter.
The hope is that Farmers persists with its insideous conduct here in California and it goes the way of the dinosaur. A company like that is a plague upon consumers and our society in general (and the Industry) and deserves to die off. As to those who currently are still enamored with Farmers, your day will come, Farmers will eventually screw you as well. When it does, you will look back on this chat site and say to yourself \”Geez if everybody is saying the same thing maybe next time I\’ll listen\” (even if you think the people giving you the advice are losers–as the earlier post indicated.)
E: Remember this thread started because of the article that confirmed Farmers just got fined $1,000,000 here in California for unfair claims practices involving ITS INSUREDS. Farmers is a horrible insurance company, at least as to how it handles claims in the State of California. It used to be a good carrier but alas no longer.

Above you state, “our customer\’s recognize the commitment to resolve their claims quickly and fairly.” You tell that to those 209 Texans with justified complaints.
Tell that to Barbara Martin

your claim was 10 years ago; wonder how well you\’d be served if the same loss occurred today….
