The California Department of Insurance (CDI) has launched an investigation into State Farm General’s handling of claims following the Eaton and Palisades Fires in January, California Insurance Commissioner Ricardo Lara said on June 12.

Lara said that Californians should receive what they are owed from insurance companies without facing delays that can cause consumers to give up on filing a claim.
