About 1,600 policies for Pacific Palisades homeowners were dropped by State Farm in July, the state insurance office says.
Months before the Los Angeles wildfires sparked, State Farm’s California arm was already in trouble, it told state regulators. Its policyholder surplus — the cash it has on hand to pay out claims — had dropped from more than $4 billion in 2016 down to just $1.
Some, though, have taken it further, going after Kevin Miles, the Los Angeles-based actor who plays Jake from State Farm. A months-old Instagram post where Miles thanked everyone for birthday wishes became a breeding ground of backlash, where people tied his work to State Farm’s cancellations.
Since the wildfires broke out in early January, State Farm’s claims department has fielded over 7,400 home and auto claims, State Farm said.
