Lawsuit Against Farmers Insurance

Gavin September 5, 2021September 5, 2021

A suit has been filed against Farmers Insurance in Los Angeles Superior Court after a claim was filed by a local retailer. The Great Frame Up is an international chain of framers’ stores with over 100 stores across the United States. The lawsuit, according to its organizers, was brought on account of injuries sustained by the claimant, while on duty at the store. The store’s owner was negligent in allowing his employee to operate the machinery in question without supervision or training. The result of this negligence resulted in the claimant sustaining a back injury.

Farmers Insurance, which is headquartered in Chicago, IL, has established its own legal defense team, headed by attorney Frank Mencimino. The case is expected to be heard by the courts during the second week of this year. This is the second lawsuit filed against the dairy giant, following a suit by a former employee. According to media reports in California and Illinois, Farmers Insurance has already hired additional attorneys to handle this case. The company’s stock has tumbled over the last few months since news of the lawsuit became public.

The lawsuit, however, does not involve any employees of Farmers Insurance who may have been involved in the incident. Rather, the suit alleges that the company owner knowingly permitted his employees to operate unsafe machinery, which resulted in injuries to the claimant. The class action alleges that the injuries sustained were the result of “plant-related” issues, rather than car accidents, as was the basis of previous lawsuits that were filed against Farmers Insurance.

In its initial response to the complaint, Farmers Insurance stated that it “does not accept or contemplate liability resulting from injuries at work.” A class action lawsuit imposes legal liability on multiple entities for the same event. In this case, the insured party is the defendant and the named plaintiffs are the various individuals injured in the workplace. The complaint against Farmers Insurance asserts negligence, and it seeks damages for those injuries, as well as punitive damages. Because of the potential for huge financial loss, Farmers Insurance is eager to settle the case rather than go to trial. For this reason, many plaintiffs are hesitant to pursue a lawsuit against a large insurance company.

Attorneys representing the named plaintiffs in the current case are seeking monetary damages from the insurance company. The current lawsuit was brought on behalf of one individual, but attorneys believe that this will prove to be an isolated incident rather than the rule in many workplaces. In addition to monetary damages, plaintiffs may also be eligible for additional compensation for pain and suffering. However, if the court rules in favor of the plaintiffs, they may be required to repay attorneys for their services, which could further drain on their limited resources.

Despite the large settlement the lawsuit has garnered, FarmVille is still in the process of appealing the court’s denial of class certification. A class action suit permits members of a large pool of similarly situated plaintiffs to bring suit together and receive monetary damages. Class action lawsuits are particularly popular among small businesses that have many employees, as they are able to cut down on attorney fees by putting together a large lawsuit in association with many other plaintiffs. There are currently two class action suits currently pending in San Francisco. If you are interested in pursuing such a lawsuit, you should contact one of the attorneys handling the case, or you should contact an experienced litigator specializing in lawsuits of this nature.
