加州监管机构寻求对 State Farm 处以巨额罚款，并暂停其承保新保单一年
Read, Watch or Listen
SACRAMENTO, Calif. — California Insurance Commissioner Ricardo Lara announced Monday that the Department of Insurance is seeking millions of dollars in penalties and a one-year restriction on writing new policies for State Farm after investigators found hundreds of violations in the company’s handling of claims from the 2025 Los Angeles-area wildfires. The action follows a probe launched last June after survivors of the Palisades and Eaton fires reported delays, underpayments and poor communication; investigators reviewed a random sample of 220 State Farm claims and identified nearly 400 violations, while officials reported the two fires killed 31 people and destroyed more than 16,000 structures.
