Case Name
The Doan, et al. v. State Farm General Insurance CompanyCase No. 108-cv-129264 State of California, County of Santa Clara
Case Summary
This is a class action lawsuit that was brought against State Farm in Santa Clara County Superior Court. The case challenged the way that State Farm calculated depreciation on claims for loss or damage to your personal property. It was proven at trial that State Farm violated California law by unfairly calculating depreciation based upon the age alone of a damaged item without considering its condition at the time of loss. This ultimately resulted in over depreciation and inappropriately reduced payouts. Further, the Court held that State Farm violated California law by failing to accurately notify its policyholders in writing of the basis or reasoning for its calculation of depreciation.

Hi,
Need further clarification on less than applicable policy limits?
I filed a claim during the specified time, as I was a victim of a home burglary.
How can I determine if the payout was less than applicable policy limits?

Call State Farm, ask them what the limits were and compare it to the amount you received.

Well, i wish you woulddo this for residents of washington state. We had a big wind storm that knocked over 2 mature pine trees, blew over our 1930s wood shed out building with stairs leading down to the root cellar (beautiful building, with character), everything in it (lawn and garden tools and equipment) and our garden fence, which also destroyed our garden. They didn’t pay us enough. Cost $7000.00 just to get the trees out.
My claim was for water damage homeowner and auto what do I need to file for this?
ADMIN – Hi Margaret,
