I did a quick search for insurance and started reading through the threads, it seems as though a LOT of people have State Farm. My question is, has anyone had to file a claim with state farm? I had them for about 8 years, and never filed any claim, but had to drop them for treating me like a second class member.
Here's a story about that: I used to have 11 cars, 11 bikes, 3 boats, 4 restaurants, and 2 houses insured through State Farm. I was there for 8 years, never filed a claim, always paid my bills on time, and never questioned the rates. One day I went out and bought a new dirt bike, dual sport really. So there I am at the Suzuki dealership, giving them money, when I call State Farm to add a bike on. Seems simple right? shouldn't take more than 15 minutes since all I have to say is "duplicate the coverage on my Honda". When I called my agent, who knew me so well I attended his daughters quinceanera, told me "give me 5 minutes to finish something up, I'll call you back". Seemed like no big deal, I'll shop for accessories. 30 minutes goes by and I call back again to hear "Oh Ian went home". Uh..Ok, it's 3pm but ok, no big deal, get me someone else I say. The person they transferred me to had so much trouble adding the bike she said she would get someone to call me back. At that point I said "screw it, I'll ride home without it and get it tomorrow". 2 days later after not hearing anything I switched EVERYTHING to progressive. After a week I get a call from Ian saying "sorry I didn't get back to you, I see you moved your account out, can we add that bike now?". But as anyone who's ever had progressive will tell you, they are the ABSOLUTE worst company on the planet when it comes to claims. Anything greater than a windshield and they will FIGHT to prevent paying out. I had someone scratch up my Ducati at a club, and progressive denied my claim. I now have 6 cars, 5 bikes, 1 boat, 4 restaurants, and 2 houses that I want to move away from Progressive.
That being said, back to my question; has anyone filed a claim with State Farm? If so, how did it go?
