I have to agree with Governor Charlie Crist when he said that Floridians will be better off without State Farm. I wouldn’t even get State Farm for auto insurance although I have heard from insured friends how long they have been with them.
The fact is they suck and always have, increasing rates and trying to worm their way out of paying of anything. This is just another way for them to worm out of being responsible after banking on Florida insurers and now turning their backs cause they can’t pad their pockets fast enough. Bastards.
A Message To Our Customers From State Farm Florida’s President
On January 27, 2009, we regretfully announced that State Farm Florida Insurance Company (State Farm Florida) had filed plans to discontinue its property insurance lines in Florida.
I want to clarify for you that this plan includes insurance coverage for homeowners, renters, rental condominium unit-owners, rental dwellings, condominium unit-owners, personal liability umbrella, boats, personal articles, apartments, business, church, commercial inland marine, commercial liability umbrella, contractors, manufactured home and premises/personal liability.
This is not an action we wanted to take, but one we must take given the realities of the Florida property insurance market. We regret the impact this will have on our customers, employees and agents in Florida.
State Farm Mutual Automobile Insurance Company (State Farm Mutual) and its affiliated companies will continue to provide – as they have for decades — automobile insurance, life insurance, health insurance and other financial products and services in Florida
Sincerely,
Jim Thompson
President
State Farm Florida
