McFalls sues State Farm for being a “Bad Neighbor”

Hodges Trial Lawyers has filed a lawsuit against State Farm for its failure to compensate its policy holder for damage to his home.  Rather than processing and paying the homeowner’s claim as required by the homeowner’s insurance policy, State Farm has chosen the classic insurance company approach of “Deny, Delay, Defend.”  Despite their commercials’ claims they’re a “good neighbor” and always “there,” State Farm has shown a clear history of turning its back on its own insured when the policyholders need them most.

Our firm has filed a lawsuit demanding that State Farm pay for the damages sustained to the home as required under the homeowner’s policy.  It is unfortunate that individuals who pay insurance premiums for years cannot trust  their insurance companies to do the right thing when a claim is made.  However, Hodges Trial Lawyers is here to protect those homeowners whose insurance companies, such as State Farm, refuse to be “there” in your time of need.  Perhaps if State Farm spent the money it spends on witty commercials on paying legitimate claims, it could be the good neighbor for a change.

The following tips will help prevent fraud in your company

  1. Retain all check writing authority.  This forces the owner, in the absence of forgery, to be involved in the check writing and prevents the temptation of writing checks that are not for the benefit of the business.  In the case filed by our firm, the Defendant was writing herself additional paychecks and even got so bold as to pay personal bills out of company funds.
  2.  Require multiple signatures for checks over a certain amount, i.e. $1,000.00.
  3. Do not get lulled into believing it could never happen to you, accountability keeps people honest in many instances.
  4. Never sign a blank check.
  5. Never have a signature stamp.
  6. Review your bank statements monthly or at least randomly spot check them.  This way you can see any unusually checks or ACH activity.

Hodges Trial Lawyers has recently filed a lawsuit to help a local business that’s been a victim of fraud recover their stolen funds.

The Consumer Product Safety Commission has announced a recall of almost 1,100 baby high chairs from BabyHome USA Inc. due to strangulation hazards. The agency said the area between the tray and seat bottom is large enough to allow a small child to slide through and become stuck at the neck, posing a strangulation risk. There have been no reported injuries.
