State Farm v. Kat Von D (Yes. Believe it.)

Did you know that your insurance company can sue you? Yes it can. Ouch.

It was a headline ripped from a blogging lawyer’s dreams. Reality star and tattoo artist Kat Von D sued by State Farm Fire and Casualty Company last week in L.A.County Superior Court. Apparently, Ms. Von D left several lit candles unattended and burned up her property and material possessions to the tune of $909,199. State Farm footed the bill and now it wants its money back! Thanks for nothing. The company should have a new tagline for advertising: Like a good neighbor, State Farm is there. . . with a lawsuit, against you. . . their insured. . . who has paid premiums for years.

I will be following the details of this suit as well as I can from Illinois, so stay tuned. And if you need information on pursuing a claim or suit against your insurance company, give us a call for a free consultation. Call the Hoag Law Group, LLC today! 1-800HOAGLAW.
