**********
Allstate pays its
policyholder $250,000 for "EMOTIONAL DISTRESS" plus
consequential
damages (even though the policy excluded consequential damages), plus
legal fees & costs and finally for her stolen car. The
case included the judge's finding of "bad faith".
Editors
Note: This landmark case shows the way Allstate abuses
its policyholders. Tell your attorney to review this case.
The
Supreme Court of Virginia denied Allstate's petition for appeal in
the Farrow v. Allstate case, finding no reversible error.
Ms. Farrow had Allstate
insurance for her car, which was stolen in front of independent witnesses.>
Five months later the car was located and the thief imprisoned.
Allstate never paid the claim, preferring instead to investigate
her for fraud, even after the car was recovered in a drug bust. It claimed
that she failed to cooperate because she would not correct and sign her
two examinations under oath.
Ms. Farrow won a jury
verdict for $57,000 (full value of the car) on her breach of contract
claim, $50,000 for intentional infliction of emotional distress, $250,000
punitive damages, and attorney’s fees for Allstate's bad faith failure
to settle.
Plaintiff's attorneys
were Christopher Malone and Kimberly Taylor. Allstate's counsel was Lewis Kincer.

If your

paid for loss in your car’s value resulting from the accident, this class
action may affect your rights.

This lawsuit shows
evidence of Allstate
systematically and unjustifiably denying claims filed by its insured's.
Complaint Exhibit
1
Exhibit #1
outlines in detail how Allstate includes inaccurate and false
information in reports in order that ALLSTATE would have a basis upon
which to deny otherwise acceptable claims made by its Insureds.
Allstate
Insurance Company had this Lawsuit and the settlement sealed. They
seal cases like this to
systematically hide the fraud they commit on its policyholders and
other claimants.

A
class
action Lawsuit has been filed in Florida against
Allstate, accusing Allstate of improperly using its Allstate Indemnity
company to charge higher premiums to drivers in Florida who in fact
qualified for preferred policies issued by Allstate. The lawsuit alleges
that Allstate misused its own underwriting guidelines to misclassify
drivers based on accidents, traffic tickets and credit reports. The suit
also alleges that Allstate attempted to ignore requirements that
accidents could only be charged against a driver if the driver was
substantially at fault in the accident.
