Then why, in the name of heaven, did they not quote the concurrent causation language in their denials? I have spoken with many adjusters who had similar language in their claims handled and paid the claims. There were and are other carriers who had slab claims that paid. No, State Farm cannot make up the rules as they go. Finally, we have a court system for this type problem and State Farm has been found to be wrong and blatantly wrong (enough to have punative awards). If they had just awarded some amount for wind, they could have avoided the punative damages, but they chose full speed ahead in the WRONG DIRECTION. BTW, which is their usual modus operandi.
