Florida's Office of Insurance Regulation today filed an official administrative complaint over what it claims is the company's insufficient response to a subpoena seeking information about its practices.
"Seeking to suspend a company's license is not something we take lightly," said General Counsel Steve Parton. "However, in light of their defiance of the Florida Insurance Code, we think it is necessary to make the point that actions such as we have seen by Allstate will not be tolerated."
Deb Clouser, a spokesperson for Allstate, said the complaint is a "legal requirement" in the process of moving the dispute forward, and that it was "not unexpected." Allstate, she added, is "weighing our legal options," but had not yet reached a decision on how the company will respond.
