What happened
State Farm Fire and Casualty Company insured an automobile under underinsured motorist property damage (UMPD) coverage in Washington. The plaintiff alleges that when vehicles sustained structural damage and deformed sheet metal, State Farm failed to pay or adequately compensate for "diminished value"—the loss in vehicle value even after repairs—in violation of the insurance policy. State Farm denies any wrongdoing and contends it paid appropriate amounts for diminished value as part of its regular claim adjusting process.
