BILOXI, Miss. (MCT) -- In some cases, State Farm's top leadership prefers not to share or even keep records that offer insight into how policyholder claims are handled, according to court records.

Chairman and CEO Edward B. Rust Jr. said in sworn testimony earlier this month that no minutes are kept of quarterly meetings held by the company's top management, the Chairman's Council, and that policyholders have no right to information about an investigation State Farm Insurance Cos. has ordered of its relationship with Haag Engineering Co.

State Farm spokesman Phil Supple said the company doesn't "intend to-;try this-;case in the media."

"State Farm stands by testimony given by President and Vice Chairman Vince Trosino, who said when asked about these allegations, 'It's not part of our system. It's not part of our core values. It's not what made us the most successful property and casualty insurer, life insurer, in the country.'"

Juries in two states, Texas and Oklahoma, have found Haag provided biased reports to State Farm to minimize or deny policyholder claims. Mississippi's attorney general currently is conducting a grand jury investigation to determine whether State Farm and other insurers denied Hurricane Katrina claims through the use of fraudulent engineering reports
