California insurance regulator launches investigation into State Farm over claims from LA fires
California’s top insurance regulator is launching a probe into State Farm over its handling of claims from Los Angeles-area wildfires that broke out in January. The investigation comes after survivors of the Palisades and Eaton fires said the insurance company delayed or mishandled claims. California’s insurance commissioner says the investigation will review whether the company complied with state consumer protection and claim-handling laws. State lawmakers have said State Farm customers are facing emotional and financial hardships because of delays in claims and denials.
