Overview

• Attorney General Kwame Raoul filed suit to force State Farm to comply with a regulatory examination of its nationwide homeowners business.
• The filing, brought on behalf of Illinois Department of Insurance Director Ann Gillespie, seeks ZIP-code–level nationwide data on premiums, coverage types, policy limits, and claim counts.
• Raoul alleges the company refused to provide the requested information and says homeowners premiums have risen sharply in recent years.
• State Farm says it violated no laws, calls the lawsuit without merit, and says it remains committed to collaborating with the Department of Insurance.
• State Farm is headquartered in Illinois and is the state's largest property and auto insurer, saying more than 21,000 agents and employees serve millions of customers.
