Shameless


Scout and Greg Peters both point to this unbelievable example of hubris/ugliness:

A company that contracts with State Farm Insurance Co. is suing two former employees who are helping a prominent attorney build cases against the insurer for denying claims after Hurricane Katrina.

E.A. Renfroe & Company, a Birmingham, Ala.-based insurance adjusting firm, alleges in its lawsuit that Cori and Kerri Rigsby broke the law when they turned over reams of internal State Farm records to attorney Richard "Dickie" Scruggs.

The Rigsbys, sisters who were assigned by Renfroe to help adjust claims for State Farm, claim the documents show that the Bloomington, Ill.-based insurer manipulated engineers' reports on storm-damaged homes so that policyholders' claims could be denied.

The sisters resigned from Renfroe after telling a State Farm supervisor in June that they were cooperating with Scruggs, who calls them "whistleblowers." The Rigsbys also turned over copies of the documents to state and federal authorities.


State Farm and Renfroe sound to me like the kind of people that'd run you over in their car...then try to charge you for the gasoline...and the damage to the front grille.
