We have been with State Farm insurance for almost 10 years. About 4 months ago my wife changed around some policies to get our insurance premiums lowered. Suddenly we received letters from state farm stating that our insurance policy was being cancelled and we would be written under a new policy that was high risk. I have two teenagers whom have had a couple of minor fender benders but, it didn't seem to be a problem until we were able to get our monthly premiums to a very manageable level. I am 42 years old no tickets and no accidents but my policy to has almost tripled. How are insurance companies allowed to do these things to hard working people.
It has really put a financial strain on my families finances. I am not sure what we are going to do.

My vehicle was rearended six months ago by a State Farm 18 year old insured. I also have State Farm. My car was hit at 50 mph, while I was at a stop light. The adjuster for State Farm has made me feel terrible. She has questioned everything I have said and she even suggested I get an attorney. I only had 2,000 in medical bills I wanted paid, and 600 in lost wages. She offered me 1500, this does not even give me enough money to pay the medical bills.
This is outragous. why isn't someone monitoring what they do? This is bad faith, and now I totally have more respect for those ambulance chasing attorneys. I would suggest to everyone dealing with State Farm, HIRE AN ATTORNEY. There are attorneys who do not charge until it is over with, and if they do not recover for you, no fee is charged. State Farm is awful!

An elderly gentleman ran a stop sign and hit me Dec 21, 2008. He admitted fault. The parts are on back order. The older man was cover by State Farm. And I have Triple A or California State Auto Association. Well, I was given the option of either my insurance or State Farm to handle my case. A woman named Trish called me. Instead of seeing me as the victim, she harassed me on the phone. Demanding why I was in that part of town at the time of the accident. And then inferring that I knew the two witnesses who saw the elderly gentleman run the stop sign at 40 mph. She asked me if I knew one of the witnesses phone numbers. I said how should I know that? And then making fun of my hip injury, calling it weird after I described the pain around my hip. After that I decided to let my insurance company handle the claim.
Also, she wanted to know my profession. Things that had nothing to do with the accident. And I had a very difficult time getting a rental car. It's coming to 30 days now since I've had the rental. And the shop is waiting on parts. State Farm, Trish, sent me a medical form for me to fill out, and they gave me two years to settle with them. But I don't trust them. I made a mistake of telling them that I was on disability. And what I had. I'm afraid they will use that against me. Even though it was the older man's fault who is covered by State Farm. It is a difficult task they are asking me to do. I'm fairly young and am covered by medicare and medical for the disabled. They want all sorts of forms for my doctor and medical and medicare to fill out. It is too time consuming, and I feel it's not worth pursuing. Since my disability benefits may drop if pursue a claim for my hip injury. They say that medical medicare will put a lien on whatever they give me. I don't know if I believe them after the questions I was asked by phone.
I really need transportation right now. The van has electrical damage right now. And the fender hasn't even been fixed yet. My insurance covers up to 750.00 for a rental car. My insurance company said they will go after State Farm for the money, not just rental. My question is that I don't know State Farm's maximum on a rental. And the maximum for Triple A is almost up. I need transportation for me and my family.

They requested that I give them of my cell phone calls, bank statments, payment history, names and numbers to famly members, as well and my creadit report. after all that they got and laywer and wanted me to go to and euo to be interaged. after all this they send me a letter saying I didn;t comply and give them all the info that they wanted and said that they wouldn't pay out on my claim and that I couldn't sue them. I coulnd afford a lawyer. I don't know what to do now.

My son was pedestrian and struck by a State Farm driver. In trying to discuss the liability of this situation with their rep A. Burk (she said they do not feel they are really all that responsible) with the adjuster, she continually interrupted me and would not allow me to speak and I felt she was trying to bully me into accepting the liability percentage and said that I should just get an attorney. I don't know if it is just this adjuster or the company's standard operating procedure but I felt that she was trying to push me into retaining legal counsel and turning a situation that should have been easily settled into a long drawn out mess.
I am also an adjuster for another company and we try hard to work with our customers to settle claims. There is really no need for dragging out a claim and retaining attornies if the claims handling was done in fair and professional manner. With claims handling like I am experiencing - no wonder insurance premiums are so high and attornies are getting rich suing them! Still ongoing.

Ok, I was involved in a car accident on November 18th 2008. The person who hit me was given the ticket and she was found to be at fault for the accident. My car was taken to All Pro Collision, Miami, Fl 33142. The adjuster for State Farm went out and gave the final estimate on my car on November 24th. The body shop workers began working on my car and according to the shop manager, Hector, they worked 4 hours a day, Monday through Friday, excluding holidays and weekends.
The month approved as per State Farm should have ended in mid January, in which at that point, they were given an additional two weeks to complete the work whoch should have been completed on January 31st. At that time, the car was fully assembled but Nissan did not have the seat belt retractor in stock needed as the final part to be installed in my car. The part was then placed on back order and it is arriving tomorrow morning meaning my car can be picked up tomorrow, February 10th.
The issue at hand is State Farm is trying to make me pay for the balance of the rental of the car which is coming out to approximatly 700.00. This was not my fault , not the accident, nor the time it took for my car to be repaired and I feel it is unfair that they are making me pay for this balance. I need to know what can be done in order for this debt be paid.

a truck hit our 2007 mustang when i was in a store and my wife was in the car. i went to mike h's office to report it and they told me to take care of it myself, they told me to go to the guys insurance that hit us and file a claim. i thought that is what i paid them for so i did not have to deal with all the footwork. we have been with state farm for 25 years. i tries to find a website for their coorporate headquarters to file a complaint but came up blank.
damage to our 2007 mustang, my wife has strained mussels in her neck and i am going in for back surgury on 2/16/09 so it is hard for me to do all this footwork (because it is hard for me to walk)

A State Farm Policy Holder 4 years! Only filed these two State Farm Renters claims: not resolved 1st one was on 11/26/08 due to water damage done to our household contents, furniture etc due to lack of maintenance on a roof drain that resulted in a roof collapse. Then a second incident from toxic(propane & butane) fire and explosion on 12/06/08 due to an apt fire in the apt next to us.
State Farm did put us in a hotel 1 month and upon returning to the apt. on 01/07/09 claim still not resolved leaving us in a water /toxic smoke damaged apt. they said they are trying to determine what is water damage and what is fire/explosion damage both claims not our fault and they are not settling claims to date leaving us to live in an apt exposed to these damages! Totally unacceptable and one in which they would not have their families subjected to I am sure! After 2 months they now want to come out to look at contents since I put my complaints to the corporate office in Bloomington. Illinois. In the mean time we are forced to live in this unhealthy mess.
Everything was covered with TOXIC smoke from a propane & butane fire & explosion & old water from the roof collapsing from improper maintenance. We are now having health problems physical & mental (stress related) from these incidents. All personal items need to be cleaned or replaced and nothing done to date two months later! NOT ACCEPTABLE

I was hit in the front bumper of my vehicle. Therfore it pushed in my front quater panel on the passenger side of my car. I have a picture of this. I did not report this incident to the police because I am not sure where exactly it happened. But I do know the time frame it happened. I carry full coverage on my vehicle. Because I backed into a lady about a year ago, admiting it was my fault. THE SAME MAN, from State Farm (my insurance carrier) CAME DOWN TO EXAMINE THE DAMAGE DONE TO THE FRONT QUATER PANEL THIS TIME. I asked him why he didnt have any pictures of the front quater panel but yet he had pictures of paint chips off the wheel wells of the prior rear end damage. HE SaiD HE HASNT GONE THROUGH ALL HIS PICTURES.
The State Farms claims office called me and asked me if I could email them a picture of the front passenger quarter panel damage, so I did. The claims man, Mark said that there was prior rust. There isnt any prior rust period, and that they were not going to cover the damages. They were not going to cover the damages because they had already covered the vehicle once before as a total loss. Well, the last accident (the ONLY one before, the one I back-up into a lady)I had asked the ladies at my local State Farm office if I could keep my full coverage and they said yes. I feel I am eligable for my loss of the damages done to the hit and run done to my front passenger side of my vehicle.
The damages are described in the above pargraph. The right front quarter panel was crunched along with the front bumper rehit and dented in. The inside of the car also was damaged. I had an estimate done the total loss is 1439.19. I have a 500 deductable. Connie from my local state farm agent told me the man from claims wants to drop me, Mark paine. Thank you
