State Farm Totaled Vehicle Undercompensation

  • Are you a California resident?
  • Are you insured by State Farm?
  • Did you total a vehicle after April 1, 2007?
  • Did State Farm determine the value of your totaled vehicle?
If you live in California and State Farm paid a claim for a total loss of your car after April 1, 2007, you might have received less than California law requires for your vehicle.

car wreckLawyers are currently investigating State Farm Auto Insurance on behalf of California policyholders who totaled their vehicle. It is believed that State Farm Auto Insurance used illegal methods to calculate customers compensation. Such methods are prohibited by regulations issued by the California Department of Insurance.

State Farm allegedly determined the value of totaled vehicles without using the asking price or actual sales price of vehicles with the same make and model. Department of Insurance regulations require the use of either the asking price or actual sales prices of comparable cars in the same local market and that adjustments to the values of comparable cars be adequately explained and supported. The use of any other values or the failure to justify adjustments violates the regulations.

State Farm Vehicle Insurance: What Price for Totaled?
Most people assume that if they are ever in a car accident and their vehicle is totaled, they will receive the appropriate dollar amount for their vehicle, based on the vehicle's worth. However, car owners who deal with State Farm Auto Insurance may not necessarily receive an amount related to what their car is worth. Some car owners are now investigating the possibility of a lawsuit against State Farm, alleging the company used illegal tactics to determine how much their vehicle was worth.
