Farmers Insurance Number 7 of Top 10 Worst Insurance Companies

July 2008, Insurance Industry Employs “Deny, Delay, Defend” Strategy, Puts Profits Over Policyholders. The rankings show a distinct pattern of insurance industry greed amongst 10 companies that refuse to pay just claims, employ hardball tactics against policyholders, reward executives with extravagant salaries, and raise premiums while hoarding excessive profits.

Farmers – Swiss-owned Farmers Insurance Group consistently ranks at or near the bottom of homeowner satisfaction surveys, and for good reason. For example, Farmers had an incentive program called “Quest for Gold” that offered pizza parties to its adjusters that met low claims payments goals. American Association of Justice

Farmers insurance is the worst insurance company I have ever seen. I am insured by Geico, and was recently hit by someone with Farmers Insurance. The police report detailed that she had hit me, but they are still at this moment trying to deny the claim. I'm guessing they hope to delay it enough that I get someone else to do the work on my vehicle, and then they can claim that I paid too much and deny payment.

Two years ago I was in an accident caused by a Farmer's insured vehicle. The agent basically said that I COULD NOT have been injured to the degree I was and called me a liar. They refused to pay my medical bills--they offered a $500 settlement. Needless to say, we are going to court
