Lawyers 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.
