The state of Maryland fined Allstate $100,000 yesterday and ordered it to refund more than $17.5 million in premiums to personal auto lines customers after finding Allstate did not comply with state law in disclosing reasons for rate increases.
The refunds are being sent to more than 20,000 current and former Allstate customers, the state said.
The fines and refunds were ordered because Allstate sent premium increase notices between Jan. 1, 2003 and March 1, 2005 that did not comply with a provision of state law requiring a description of the accident or violation that led to the increase, the commissioner's office said.
