A QUICK HISTORY OF FARMERS INSURANCE

Farmers Insurance provides coverage for motorists, homes and businesses. They are a large US company with a network of insurance and financial provisions. Having started nearly a century ago, in 1927, Farmers has developed and grown significantly over the years and amassed total assets of $16 billion in 2016. However, 2016 was also a bear year for the company as they had -$147.9 million in net income. Yet, as a subsidiary of Zurich Insurance Group located in Switzerland, and with 21,000 employees and 48,000 independent agents, the company continues to thrive.

FARMERS TRACK RECORD OF BAD CUSTOMER PERFORMANCE

Historically, Farmers has a turbulent track record of customer service and paying claims, especially in Texas. In 2006 more complaints were made to state insurance departments against Farmers Insurance, in Texas, than any other auto insurance company. That same year, Consumer Reports rated Farmers Insurance as having one of the poorest performance levels of all auto insurance companies as regards paying auto claims in a timely manner of 30 days or less.

In multiple reports, Farmers consistently receives very low ratings in terms of claim settlement and claim process and procedures. What this means for you is that you may be facing a difficult and somewhat uncooperative adversary when filing an auto accident claim against a Farmers Insurance policy holder. But we’ve got your back. With years of dealing with unruly opponents, Chris Jackman Law Firm can bolster your case through diligent and experienced negotiation strategies.

Essential Advice for Making a Claim against Farmers Insurance Always use a lawyer to communicate with the Farmers Insurance claims adjuster. As pleasant as they may be to you, the claims adjuster has one goal in mind: to mitigate or nullify your claim. You will almost always obtain a higher dollar amount on your claim with expert legal representation.

The claims adjuster will likely want you to grant them access to your medical records, which is something you should never do. They may ask you to make a recorded statement about the accident and sign official documentation that limits your claim. All these tactics are employed so that the claims adjuster can offer you a quick and hasty settlement offer that is less than what you deserve.
