HAMMEL V. STATE FARM: 3 ZUNIGA DECLARATIONS

HAMMEL V. STATE FARM: 3 ZUNIGA DECLARATIONS: "m. According to the State Farm superintendent in charge of
the unit which handled the Stoliar claim, the claim
representative who worked on the claim were well aware
that they had an obligation under the insurance code and
their policy of insurance, to attempt to effectuate fair
reasonable and prompt settlements. However, as a result
of Mrs. Stoliar's claims being classified as 'minor
impact'/'low damager' no effort was made to settle this
case or make any offer or even evaluate the case until
the middle of September of 1995 almost two years after
the initial accident and seven months after the second
accident. Further, because the second accident was
classified as a 'minor impact'/'low damager' case, no
effort was ever made to evaluate it and no effort was
ever made with respect to settlement, even though over
$6,900.00 in medical expenses were incurred by Mrs.
Stoliar as a result of the second accident."
