LA County has sued State Farm, alleging the insurer violated California laws whilst handling claims from the Palisades and Eaton Fires on 7 January. The county accuses State Farm of delaying payments, making lowball offers, frequently changing adjusters, suppressing smoke damage claims, and false advertising. State Farm initially offered only 50% of personal property losses unless customers provided detailed itemisations. Following media coverage and legislative pressure, this increased to 65%. California Insurance Commissioner Ricardo Lara investigated after protests by the Every Fire Survivor's Network, finding violations and threatening the company's licence. State Farm reported nearly $13 billion in profit in 2025, more than double the previous year. The company had cancelled coverage for many residents before the fires occurred.
State Farm sued by LA county for delays, denials to fire victims. By John Gittelsohn September 1, 2026 Los Angeles County sued State Farm, California's largest home insurer, for alleged delays, denials and underpayments of property damage claims filed by victims of the massive January 2025 wildfires. Monday's lawsuit, following a county investigation, alleges State Farm withheld money from policyholders in a variety of ways that violated contract terms. The county said in a statement that the company failed to cooperate with the probe launched in November, refused to provide requested documents in response to a subpoena, and made clear it was not interested in resolving the concerns raised on behalf of wildfire victim. The Eaton and Palisades fires killed 31 people, destroyed more than 16,000 structures and caused approximately $40 billion in insured losses. "We tried this the nice way," Supervisor Lindsey Horvath, whose western Los Angeles County district includes the area of the Palisades Fire, said during a press conference. "State Farm must live up to its commitment to be a 'good neighbor' and do right by its customers who have lost so much." The insurance firm disputed the allegations. "State Farm General strongly disagrees with Los Angeles County's characterization of our wildfire claims response," Bob Devereux, a spokesperson, said in an email Monday. "We will review the lawsuit and respond through the appropriate legal process. Wildfire survivors deserve support, clear answers, and a fair claims process." The lawsuit, filed in Los Angeles County Superior Court against Illinois-based State Farm General Insurance Co. and State Farm Mutual Automobile Insurance Co., doesn't specify a total amount it seeks in compensation, restitution and penalties. "It's going to be a lot of money," said Scott Kuhn, assistant county counsel. The firm has paid more than $6.2 billion on claims since the fires, including $1 billion for smoke-related damage, and has closed about 78% of claims, Devereux said. State Farm Mutual ended 2025 with $170 billion in net assets - $24.8 billion more than a year earlier, according to the suit. State Farm General also received California's first emergency homeowners' insurance rate increase - an average of 17% - after the fire. State Farm has more than 2.8 million residential and commercial policies in California and had the most policyholders impacted by last year's disasters, having processed 13,700 fire-related claims.

Los Angeles County sues State Farm for unfair business practices in handling 2025 wildfire claims. August 31, 2026 LOS ANGELES - Los Angeles County has sued State Farm, alleging unfair business practices in the company's handling of insurance claims filed by policyholders affected by the January 2025 Eaton and Palisades Fires. The lawsuit follows county counsel's investigation of State Farm's alleged violations of California's Unfair Competition Law relating to delays, underpayments, and denials of wildfire claims from its policyholders impacted by the 2025 wildfires. The lawsuit alleges that State Farm subjected policyholders to: False advertising inducing them to purchase and rely on State Farm insurance; Unreasonable delays in investigation and processing of claims; Systematic underpayments of claims even where the rightful amount of the claim was clear; Frequent and improper reassignment of individual claim adjusters; Systematic barriers to policyholders' ability to contact and communicate with adjusters; Refusal to provide due compensation for Additional Living Expenses (ALE); Misrepresentations during the claims process to discourage pursuit of claims; and Illegal suppression of smoke damage claims. County counsel's investigation of State Farm's handling of policyholder claims included reviewing information from community-based organizations including Every Fire Survivors Network (EFSN), Department of Angels, and Eaton Fire Residents United, as well as reviewing hundreds of complaints and documents from State Farm policyholders. State Farm failed to substantially comply with county counsel's requests for documents and information made during the investigation. County counsel is empowered by statute to investigate, and to civilly prosecute violations of the Unfair Competition Law and False Advertising Law on behalf of the People of the State of California. The lawsuit seeks restitution to impacted State Farm policyholders, injunctive relief, and civil penalties of up to $2,500 per violation.
Newly unsealed documents reveal State Farm allegedly ran a scheme that profited $1.4 billion by underpaying and denying wind and hail claims, according to attorneys representing policyholders. A Comanche County judge recently lifted the protective order on 31 internal documents that State Farm had fought to keep concealed. The emails between company executives show the insurer saved over $15,000 per denied or underpaid claim. One 2023 email reportedly shows leadership bragging about a 39% "closed without payment ratio". Attorneys from Whitten Burrage law firm say the scheme began with a pilot programme in Dallas County before expanding across Texas and nationwide, including Oklahoma. The documents reveal tactics developed with outside consulting firms that created a corporate culture incentivising claim denials, according to the attorneys.
State Farm shells out $5 billion in dividends to auto customers. Megan Ulu-Lani Boyanton, The Seattle Times Seattle Times State Farm is shelling out $5 billion in payments to its auto insurance customers. The Illinois-based insurer called it the largest (dividend) in the company's 100-plus-year history," per a news release. The payments, which were announced in late July, are being issued in waves for over 49 million State Farm Mutual vehicles. The process is expected to take several months, and millions of customers with private passenger auto policies have accepted their allotments already. Each payout is based upon a percentage - ranging from 4% to 10% - of the premium paid for qualifying policies in 2025, according to State Farm. State Farm is a mutual insurance company, which means it's made up of members, instead of shareholders. "If financial results are favorable and the board approves it, one option available is for the company to issue dividends or credits to policyholders," the insurer explained on its website. "As a mutual company with a customer-first focus, State Farm Mutual is able to provide value directly to our customers while maintaining financial strength to keep our promises in the future," President and CEO Jon Farney said in a statement. "That translated this year to lower auto rates and cash back in the form of a $5 billion policyholder dividend." The company noted that this is a one-time occurrence, attributing the dividend to "positive performance in the auto business in 2025. State Farm is the No. 1 insurer for private passenger auto in Washington, followed by Progressive at No. 2 and Allstate Insurance Company at No. 3, according to the National Association of Insurance Commissioners.
