A U.S. Senate subcommittee questioned executives from State Farm and Allstate on Tuesday after hearing testimony from clients and adjusters alleging fraud and abuse in the system.
The disaster management subcommittee hearing of the U.S. Senate Committee on Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs was called to look at claims practices following natural disasters. Sen. Josh Hawley, the subcommittee’s chair, said devastating catastrophes were leaving families homeless and in debt because insurance companies wouldn’t pay out their claims.
