Ambassador Rick Grenell said Tuesday he requested a meeting with the CEO of the state farm to discuss the controversial response to the Los Angeles fire and disaster.
Grenell posted on X:
Grenell cancels many policies in the days and weeks leading up to the January fire, and forces them to edit a detailed list of personal property if full coverage is required. Following this report, I took action.
Local residents whose fire insurance was cancelled by the state farm on December 18, 2024, told Breitbart News in text: We had added an insult to the devastation to know that it was not updated just 2.5 weeks before the fire, and later some neighbors were updated. ”
As reported by Breitbart News, State Farm gives policyholders 50% of coverage for personal property losses, but compiling an extensive list of property to receive 100% I'm requesting.
This process is considered trauma to fire victims in news from Breitbart. New York Timesand others report. A state senator proposed a bill that “repeals the list” to ease the burden on policyholders.
Some companies have chosen to pay 100% of the value of personal property coverage, but there are considerable variations (company responses and to policyholders in areas affected by the Palisade Fire (based on questions).
- State Farm – 50% payment, then fully itemized
- AAA – 80% payment, “bulk itemization” (generally described property)
- Aegis – unknown
- California Fairplan – Unknown (“Fairplan manages claims in accordance with California law and the terms of the insurance contract issued to you were in response”)
- Chubb – 100% payment without iterization
- Cincinnati – 100% payment without itemization
- Farmers – 30% payment, then fully itemized
- Lloyds – 100% payment without itemization
- Mercury – 75% payment, then fully itemized
- Pacific Specialty – 100% payment without itemization
- SAFECO – Unknown (“We are following Commissioner Lala's order” response)
- Sagesure – 70% payment, then fully itemized
- Traveler – Unknown
- USAA – 75% payment, then fully itemized
State law requires a minimum of 30% before requesting full itemization.
As reported by Breitbart News, state farms and other insurers are effectively responsible for price control by refusing states to price policies in light of increased risk of wildfires. After imposing the company, it began drawing businesses out of California.
State farms in particular began canceling existing fire insurance policies until the end of 2024, with some policyholders losing coverage in late December just days before the fire.
“State Farm has the opportunity to intervene and intervene with all our loyal customers, and we need to do so now,” Orenstein said.
