I have been with State Farm for 38 years and am currently in a big fight with them. My van was flooded in a flash flood on a major highway in Virginia. After hours of work we got it started and drove back to NC. Two days later it wouldn"t start and all damages state farm is contending are regular maintenance items, not flood damage. The probability of all four "maintenance" problems occuring at the same time is about a trillion to one. Thanks State Farm ---see you in court.

how do i contact Joseph Rhee?

i will not post on this blog. comments i have to make will, sooner or later, cost me my job.

As an ex-employee of Snake Farm, I can attest to the fact that they systematically destroy both paper and electronic proof that they continually try to weasel out of paying claims and that they cover up their misdeeds by employing over 1,400 attorneys nationwide. About half of those attorneys are employees and about half are on retainer. If a company has to have that many attorneys, that tells any half-way intelligent person that they have a lot to hide. Besides cheating their policyholders, they continually cheat claimants, agents, and employees. They will spend $1 million to fight a $10,000 claim. They always try to low-ball damage estimates and they continually shred vital information in order to not pay claims. They do not release all documents when ordered by the legal system to do so. They fire or make it so hard on employees who do not buy into their brainwashing tactics that the employees quit. I truly regret ever becoming involved as an employee with this corrupt company and I believe they should be investigated to the fullest extent of the law. They believe employees should live, breathe, eat, drink, dream, etc., State Farm 24/7. They tout themselves as a family oriented company; however, when certain employees have family medical emergencies, they end up making the employees take vacation time instead of paid sick leave for family care (FMLA/FC) and then they end up firing employees or writing them up all of the time if they are out sick more than about 3 days out of the year. I say everyone should boycott this company. I will personally be letting the cat out of the bag about the corrupt things I personally know about. I'd like to ask Ed Rust - How Much Crack or Meth do you smoke every day to come up with these hair-brained ideas of yours?

People, regardless of any personal claim you may or whether you have State Farm as your insurer, YOU NEED TO WRITE TO STATE FARM and let them know what a sham and a fraud it is. You need to write to your U.S. congressmen and representaives and let them know you want them to STOP listening to insurance lobby rhetoric and large corporate interests, and start representing the individuals who make up our great nation. The insurance industry is a hugely wealthy industry; they aren't suffering; they have never suffered; All losses are passed on to us--the little guy.

It is time for our United States government to stop favorinig them on every single piece of legislation. They are liars and they are crooks. They win the battles because they have billions of dollars to fight the battles. It is time our government helped us, and it is time we, every single one of us, wrote to our representatives and told them so! Maybe a few letters won't be noticed, but millions of letters will get noticed. WRITE NOW. DON'T PUT IT OFF!

I think that we must be aware that the insurance industry and the mitigation of claims is indeed a very complex issue. The severity of the claim along with the circumstances leading up to the claim add to it's complexity. Than, of course, there is each individual insurance policy with all the inclusions and exclusions. I suppose many people do not really understand all the fine nuances of their policy when they purchase their homeowners insurance policy.

I too was defrauded by state farm as they are very good pathological liars.
