Jury orders State Farm to pay its insured driver $3 million in lawsuit: "A Florida school teacher has been awarded $3 million in damages after a jury found that State Farm Insurance Company refused to live up to its contract on a 2008 car accident. David Bowler, a State Farm insured, suffered a fractured neck and wrist in the accident. He filed suit against State Farm for damages and medical costs. The other driver involved in the crash, Randall Spivey, had only $25,000 in liability insurance coverage. The Plaintiff had over $2 million in uninsured motorist coverage that State Farm refused to pay.
