    Another fun fact about State Farm auto coverage. They are the only company writing in Colorado (and many other States) that does NOT have the Appraisal Clause or Right to Appraisal for repairable vehicles. Whatever they determine is reasonable and customary to them is all they will reimburse their insureds.

    Hi RobertGrieve, yes we have been seeing this first hand with clients leaving State Farm after a claim. SF spends a lot on advertising and they need to make it up elsewhere... I believe claims suffer because of this. ~ Tia

    Financial Solvency of an insurance carrier is commonly mis-understood or not even taken into consideration when making decisions on which carrier is right for you. Thank you for helping to make sense of why a carriers AM BEST rating is important information to consider. Absolutely correct Tia! "non-rate action" will not improve the carriers status, they will have to increase rates to make this move back towards an "A" status. Claims severity and frequency are forcing large carriers to take rate in many areas around the country, and we will see more of these topics hit the news. Tia does a great job of making sense of what is happening in the industry right now!

    State Farm General is in California. So why isn't' your title indicating State Farm General? The title of your video is misleading to other states who use State Farm.

    hi dougwitte765, great question, I did address this question in the video,- the short answer, many insurance experts are speculating the downgrade on State Farm General may affect rates and underwriting issues nationwide for State Farm along with a large underwriting loss for State Farm nationally. State Farm has already filed for multiple rate increases nationwide. thanks for the question. ~ Tia

    I just dropped State farm in the last few days I have been with them for over 40 years they tried to charge me $700 a month for two used vehicles a 2011 Honda and a 2021 Toyota I dropped them like a hot potato.. they gave no explanation for the increase.. I just went with Farmers insurance and my car insurance is now less than $200 a month for the same vehicles. Guess they did me a favor..

    You should have stated up front that State Farm General only applies to California, and not the rest of the country. State Farm in the rest of the nation is A rated. State Farm has been loosing its shirt in California on home insurance, and State Farm is withdrawing from home insurance in California as a response... Overall - a very misleading video.

    Hi, you are correct State Farm General is a CA company, unfortunately, State Farm National owns the CA company and nationally State Farm is raising rates and non-renewing folks, this is not just happening in CA but across the county. ~ Tia

    @@trailstoneinsurancegroup Almost all insurance companies are raising rates across the country due to unusually high inflationary increases for the cost of repairing cars, houses, etc. But California and Florida has exceptionally high insurance losses for a number of insurance companies largely because those States have refused to allow the insurance companies to increase rates to offset the higher risks that are now apparent. Thus a number of companies are leaving those States - especially for the house/structure insurance segment.
