I recently had a car accident no fault of my own that was caused by a state farm customer. My car was the only one totaled. I have been without a car for a few days now and is having trouble with rides to work and getting my children to school.

I spoke with a few of the state farm representatives who were very rude and short. This is just not right. I am so upset bc I was the victim. Im seeking legal advice to sort this matter out the correct way after seeing all these complaints on state farm. Thanks everyone.

In July another biker crashed into me while I was making a turn. He was upwards of 60mph so my bike was totaled. I managed to walk away... then get carried away in an ambulance to a hospital as I guess I was in shock.
My expenses includes an ambulance ride, hospital, doctor visit and week loss of work. I was told to consult the other drivers insurance for reimbursement( State Farm) which was about 9 months ago. I have been given the medical release run around since July and have made countless calls to try and do what I can. Typed request letters, complaints... nothing seems to be moving this on. Every few months they give me some small recent info as to why we can not settle...Recently consulted with a hot shot lawyer who would not take my case and said to sue in a small claims court as she feels State Farm will not pay and my case is to small to fight. Raw expenses are around $3500.

What really makes me mad is the lying of the adjuster its like he knows that I know he is lying but he keeps it up. "My evil doctors secretary is delaying this because of some kind of personal vendetta or something..." I've talked to the dude who hit me and he is as frustrated with State Farm as I am.

Recently an individual with State Farm Insurance opened their car door and put a dent in the fender of my brand new Honda Accord. I waited for the person to come out of the store and I got her name and insurance information. I had one of your representatives look come to my home and look at my car. Their ruling was that there wasn't any evidence on her vehicle to show that she was responsible. Since it was the edge of her van door finding "evidence" left by my car would have been nearly impossible to find with the naked eye. I feel that this is just State Farm's way of getting out of paying for a legitimate claim. I'm now stuck with a $700 bill to repair a car that just left the showroom floor and had less than 700 miles on it. I had called the police when it happened but since it occurred on private property they didn't make a report. I will never consider becoming a State Farm customer and will recommend that everyone I know avoid them as well.

On august 27, 2010 remolding the basement, i bumped my trash can into shelving unit next to my heater it knocked off a spray paint can that fell into heater i didn't know ow what fell so i bent over and hear a hissing sound then saw that it was the spray paint bottle got punctured the fumes were ignited be the pilot and blow up in my face and in gulfed me in flames. that explosion caused my heater to then explode sending a concussion wave threw out my whole house threw the vents up the stairs i got thrown about 10 feet. It blew out my steel bay window on the second floor the solid oak door up the stairs was cracked from the top to the bottom the shy light on the 3 rd floor was blown out. the chimney has multiple cracks and shifting . And the best part is that now my floor are starting to collapse from wall to wall. i have a wall over part of this area that collapsing with the floor which is pulling away from the ceiling causing my ceiling to crack . this happened over 2 months ago, they sent out an engineer for measurement, he put down the wrong measurements my floor is sagging almost 1 inch he said 3/8 of inch and that was normal- wrong, i have to pay for MY engineer to prove them wrong. I want to say that if had this company for 25 years never filed a claim for house and for car i have never sued anyone only that my car be fixed. Everyone in my family uses them, I am currently contacting a friend of mine who is tv reporter, I think people really need to know how this insurance company works . Made numerous complaints to my agent i even wrote a letter to my adjuster and his boss. and his boss never even opened after i made a FORMAL COMPLAINT ABOUT THE ADJUSTER- their current stand is preexisting - my ass will fill you in later, when they prepare to take my claim serious

My father passed away this year after being a loyal State Farm customer in excess of 30 previous claimfree years. He had a hailstorm in 2003 and a tree damaged his garage in 2007. First off, the adjuster would only pay for the house roof replacement. Not the detached garage! They stated the house was damaged but not the gararge! Just 25 feet apart! I thought that was wrong at the time but my dad being volnerable at 80 yrs old and had a good rapport with his agent, pretty much stayed out of it. I, being only two blocks away from dad, too had hail damage.My home insurance company (Cincinnati Financial)sent an independent contractor to evaluate my damage and deemed damage to my house and garage. They even included a birdbath and tv antenna that I had not even noticed. Since that loss, dad also had a tree fall on his detached garage. The adjuster called it $1, 100 total damage. Dad called 3 tree tree removal companies. The cheapest was $2, 800. There was no way any of them would do the work forState Farm 's figure. This is still hard to believe...but the adjuster told dad that HE could get them to do it for less! After the deductible, they gave dad a check for $460. So I myself cut the tree up and paid to take it to the landfill. The cheap labor State Farm wanted to find was me. I didn't mind, but I knew dad was getting screwed.

To the real point.. My father passed away in Feb '10 and one can imagine all the things an executer has to go through. The detatched garage roof was one of them. I asked a contractor to give me his opinion on the garage roof as it was curling up and needing replaced. It was less that ten years old! He called it previous hail damage. So naturally I'm thinking they should have replaced it back in '03 and talked to dad's agent. They opened a NEW claim! The adjuster told me it was not hail damage, but a back shed showed some damage. It was figured at $400 damage. State Farm sent me a letter stating the damage did not meet the $500. deductible..but still a claim.

I'm thinking Ok..I guess you can't disagree with their adjusters decision.(even though their letter stated i could do so) So I decided to let it go, just get the house ready to sell.

Well guess waht? the next thing I recieve is a letter from State Farm Insurance Company in my deceased father's name stating his policy will be dropped! I had bad feelings about the company before this, but this blew me away! Now, I had to scramble around trying to find a company that will insure a vacant property! So now, thanks toState Farm Ins Company, my dad's estate must be insured by a specialty company for over twice the normal premium. Like a good neighbor?

Just goes to show, people, being bigger is NOT better. If you notice on tv, we are pounded with State Farm commercials. Who do you think is paying for them? I believe my deceased father is one of them.

I often wonder who they think they are fooling with these sort of business practices. Several people have shared THEIR State Farm stories with mine. Most are negative. My question is: Can TV advertising trump that?

Before dad died we purchased a rental property that was insured by State Farm for some 40 years and at the time I considered keeping them as the insurance company thinking they have had it so long and it seemed a simple process. This too was unbelievale. They wanted ME to have a licensed electrician to inspect the home and submit it to them. Wait..it get's better..at MY expense! I didn't even consider that and called my own home ins company (Cincinnati Finanial) and they took it without a problem. And by the way, I'm not promoting them, just stating facts. I just tonight searched out the top 50 property and casualty insurance companies and guess what? They were not only in that group, but have been there for the past 16 years! That's a good neighbor to me.State Farm wasen't even on the list. Bigger is better? I don't think so.
