Attorney General Gentner Drummond filed a response to State Farm Fire and Casualty Company’s petition to the Oklahoma Supreme Court, which sought to block his involvement in a case on alleged insurance misconduct in Oklahoma. The filing follows a request from Insurance Commissioner Glen Mulready for Drummond to continue the investigation and prosecution in Hursh v. State Farm et al.
According to the Oklahoma Attorney General's Office release, the case centers on allegations that State Farm predetermined claim outcomes based on corporate savings targets rather than policy terms. Drummond’s December motion stated that these practices put homeowners at risk and undermined public trust in the insurance system.
In his recent filing, Drummond asserts his legal authority to intervene on behalf of Oklahoma consumers. He emphasized the need for penalties, structural reforms, and recovery of profits gained through the alleged scheme, citing the impact on public confidence in the insurance system.
