"State Farm is still filing motions this afternoon asking that a federal judge throw out a whistle-blower lawsuit against the company. The insurance company maintains two former claims adjusters, Ocean Springs sisters Cori and Kerri Rigsby, have no first-hand knowledge that the company mishandled Katrina claims, comparing them to "Chicken Littles" with groundless allegations. State Farm also argues that the lawsuit should not stand because the Rigsbys based it on confidential documents stolen from the company. Further, State Farm says, the sisters have failed to show that the insurance company filed false Katrina claims with the National Flood Insurance Program, as alleged." (source:sunherald.com) |
