State Farm Insurance - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia: "Criticism
A 2007 investigation by CNN reported that major car insurance companies, including State Farm and Allstate Insurance, are increasingly fighting claims from those injured by their insured members. In some cases the settlement proposed amounts to just $50 or the threat that any lawsuit would be made so expensive and time-consuming that it wouldn't be worth the victim's time. State Farm and Allstate have denied these allegations.[11] This followed on the heels of criminal investigations by the states of Louisiana and Mississippi, which found that State Farm had wrongly denied claims stemming from Hurricane Katrina.[12] In 2009, and continuing into 2010, the 'StateFarmSucks' Campaign [13] attracted National attention, after a Widow, Angela Russell, publicized the story of State Farm's 'Bad Faith' handling of her claim. The issue is currently in litigation."
