State Farm is a tough insurance company if you are trying to settle a car accident case. We have a little magazine type thing called the Metro Verdicts Monthly which provides interesting summaries of personal injury cases that go to trial in Maryland. The majority of cases that go to trial are auto and truck accident cases. I have never gone back and done the math but I suspect that almost half of the auto accident cases that go to trial in Maryland are with State Farm as the defendant.
Like the way this blog takes a backseat to the Maryland Injury Lawyer Blog, we have a website called Maryland Auto Accident that we have tried to put more into but it keeps getting set aside for the Miller & Zois site. In any event, I have written what I think is a pretty detailed analysis of handling claims with State Farm on that site that you can find here.
