Just one day after the Oklahoma Supreme Court blocked him from intervening in a separate lawsuit, Oklahoma AG Gentner Drummond’s office announced it has filed a new lawsuit against State Farm, alleging the company engaged in deceptive practices, fraudulent claim denials and a general screwing over of Oklahoma policyholders.
TLO Super Fan Barbe Hoberock has the details via Oklahoma Voice:
Oklahoma Attorney General Gentner Drummond on Wednesday sued State Farm, alleging the insurance company fraudulently failed to properly pay homeowners for roof damage.
The lawsuit accuses State Farm of misrepresentations and deceptive practices in selling and renewing insurance policies. It alleges the company fraudulently denied or underpaid claims and engaged in racketeering since 2020.
“The allegations describe a corporate scheme that threatens the integrity of Oklahoma’s insurance market place and undermines public confidence in an industry families rely on when disaster strikes,” Drummond said.
State Farm did not respond to a request for comment as of publication Wednesday.
