‘Higher Rewards’: State Farm Fights a Deposition on Hail-Program Bonuses as a Second Judge Calls Its Witness ‘Completely Evasive’
State Farm has asked an Oklahoma County judge to quash a Hursh v. State Farm deposition notice seeking testimony on rewards tied to its Fire Model Enhancement wind/hail program, including Nov. 24, 2021 ‘Our Reward Recommendations’ communications. State Farm says it ‘does not compensate its employees based on claim outcomes.’ The homeowners say a second judge found State Farm’s corporate witness ‘completely evasive.’ Trial is set for Dec. 7.
