CA regulators push to suspend State Farm license over LA wildfire claim handling
California regulators filed an administrative action against State Farm General alleging mishandling of January 2025 wildfire claims in Los Angeles County, finding 398 violations in about half of 220 sampled claims. The department seeks a cease-and-desist order and the possible suspension of State Farm’s California certificate of authority for up to a year, plus multi‑million-dollar penalties; a state administrative law judge will hear the case and decide on penalties and suspension terms. State Farm denies the allegations, noting it has paid more than $5.7 billion and processed thousands of claims, while a market conduct examination into its California operations continues amid broader concerns about the state’s homeowners insurance market.
