State Farm Mutual Automobile Insurance Company, with its headquarters at Bloomington in Illinois is a mutual insurance firm that also owns the other State Farm companies and is in turn owned by the State Farm Insurance Company, which is a group of insurance and financial services companies. State Farm Mutual Automobile Insurance Company was founded on June 7, 1922, by George J. Mecherle, who was a retired farmer. The company initially concentrated on meeting auto insurance needs of farmers in Illinois through a mutual organization owned by the clients. Mecherle, the founder of the company, believed that farmers drive less than city drivers and hence should be allowed to pay less for insurance since the losses they had was fewer. The idea was accepted well by the farmer community and hence the popularity of the firm increased rapidly. In 1942, the company became the nations largest auto insurer and from then on, the company has held on to that rank. According to statistics, about one out of every five cars on the road is insured with State Farm Automobile Insurance Company. Since then, State Farm has expanded its services into other popular types of insurance.

The company prescribes a code of conduct for its employees, which summarises the Company policies, rules, and guidelines. It helps the employees in decision making and to make the right choices. A strict code of conduct doesnt mean the employees are under any sort of strain because if we consider the awards and recognition, State Farm is a great place to work. State Farm was ranked among the 40 Best Companies for Diversity and 15 Best in Marketing Diversity in Black Enterprise Magazines 2007 rankings. In 1986 the company had passed the 100$ billion mark, almost doubling the figure in five years. State Farm went online in 1895, thus joining the internet revolution. In 1999, the 70th anniversary of the Company was celebrated in a grand way as the agents wrote a total of 1 million life insurance applications that year. The Good Neighbour Grant Program was introduced by state Farm in 2000 and was a huge success. A facility to serve Canadian customers was opened in Toronto in 2006 and the same year promoted a feature film the Disney/Pixar animated feature film, CARS.

State Farm homeowners'insurance customers got no relief yesterday from a 5.7 percent rate increase that they had protested to the state Supreme Court. The increase, about $25 a year for the average customer, according to a company lawyer, took effect more than three years ago for 1.3 million customers.

A consumer advocate says State Farm is trying to keep him from using information the California Department of Insurance gave him that could show the company has discriminated against poor and minority communities, a practice known as redlining.

In a lawsuit filed Thursday in San Francisco Superior Court, State Farm officials charge that the Department of Insurance "inadvertently" released proprietary information to David Birnbaum, a former associate insurance commissioner in Texas turned private consultant.

According to the suit, California insurance regulators gave Birnbaum trade secrets such as statistical data organized by zip codes, including information on State Farm's premiums, exposures and nonrenewals for different lines of insurance.

"If State Farm's competitors had access to this information, they would be able to capitalize on State Farm's trade secrets developed over many years at great effort and expense and threaten the position State Farm has earned through its own hard work and investment," the documents state.

The suit names Birnbaum, the California Department of Insurance and Insurance Commissioner Chuck Quackenbush as defendants.

The company is scheduled to go to court Tuesday to ask a judge to order Birnbaum to return the data and to prohibit him from discussing it while the case is being decided. In addition, State Farm, the largest auto and homeowner insurance company in the state, wants the names of anyone Birnbaum has given the information to.

Birnbaum maintains that the information he obtained from the state, known as a community service statement, was public record.

"Their competitors already know their strategy," said Birnbaum, who alleges that the company has more than trade secrets to hide.

''In Texas, we found that State Farm was denying policies to poor and minority communities," he said. "And they're afraid that we're going to find the same thing here in California."

More than three years ago, Birnbaum and the Texas Department of Insurance issued a report showing that State Farm had discriminated against poor and minority communities. In 1997, the company sued Birnbaum and the department, saying they had released information that wasn't public.

Birnbaum said he came to California to show a Texas judge that the same information was public here.

Vanessa Wells, an attorney from State Farm, said Birnbaum's redlining allegations are wrong.

"State Farm is (selling policies) in poor and underserved communities," she said.

Officials from the California Department of Insurance declined to comment on the suit.

Amid heated competition in the car insurance business, State Farm, the largest of the insurers, said yesterday that it was giving its customers an unexpected dividend of just over $1 billion.

State Farm, a mutual company owned by its policyholders with wide discretion in issuing dividends, said the payout was based on better-than-expected earnings in 1999. But its after-tax profits were actually greater in 1998, and it paid no dividend on those results.

''It's a very strong marketing tool,'' said Hugo J. Warns III, a Legg Mason analyst in Baltimore.

State Farm has been losing market share to smaller companies that have been advertising lower prices and some analysts interpreted the dividend -- the biggest ever given by State Farm -- as an attempt to counter that erosion.

''They're trying to maintain their customer base,'' said Charles Gates, a Credit Suisse First Boston analyst.

State Farm executives deflected questions about the marketing value of the dividend, but Steve Vogel, the company's chief spokesman, said the dividend would ''obviously make me feel good about being a State Farm policyholder.''

Payments to individual drivers will range from an average of $15 in New York and many other states to as high as $82 in Connecticut, based on State Farm earnings in those states. Drivers in New Jersey -- alone among the states -- will receive no dividend, State Farm executives said, because the company, along with all other insurers, sharply reduced rates there last March at the insistence of legislators in Trenton. State Farm cut its rate by 16 percent, one percentage point more than the 15 percent reduction that had been ordered.

The dividend will be sent to drivers as insurers, including State Farm, are beginning to raise rates after two unusual years in which prices for car insurance dropped.

State Farm said the $1 billion dividend did not address the rising costs of coverage that are driving rates up again. ''Dividends are a look back,'' said Gary Grant, State Farm's chief actuary.

State Farm reported net earnings in 1999 of $811.8 million, compared with $1.1 billion in 1998. John Killian, a vice president in finance, said the 1999 dividend was based on pretax earnings of just over $1 billion. He said the company had unrealized investment gains of more than $4 billion in 1998 and 1999, bringing the company's net worth to $45.8 billion. Instead of adding the 1999 profits to the company's coffers, Mr. Grant said, State Farm decided to return the money to its customers.

State Farm has paid dividends of $169 million to $892 million in 6 of the last 10 years.

With several big companies raising rates this year, State Farm has continued to cut rates in some states. It has dropped prices in 15 states so far this year but it has also raised them in 10 states. Last year, State Farm cut rates in 48 states and raised them in one.

Few things are more irritating than finding a fresh door ding, but it's hard to avoid them. Whether you're driving to the grocery store, work, or the doctor's office, chances are you're going to have to park your vehicle in a parking space, next to other vehicles.

Your best efforts to avoid door dings and scratches can be enhanced by assessing your surroundings before choosing a parking space. Consider these common sense parking tips next time you're out and about:

• If an end spot is available, that's normally your best bet.
• Consider parking as far away as possible, odds of someone cramping your car that far out is more remote.
• Before you pull into a space look at the length of the doors on the other vehicle(s), if those doors were fully extended could they reach your vehicle?
• Look at the height of the vehicle you are parking next to, if it is another vehicle similar in height to yours and if your car has protective rubber door moldings those moldings may protect your car's doors, but SUV's and truck doors are taller and may cause dents higher than your moldings can protect, move to another spot.
• Always try to look at the car next to you and determine if there may be passengers (at work maybe not, the mall, probably) this may impact which side of the vehicle you park on. If you're at work and figure there are no passengers, maybe parking on the passenger side of that car is good, at least you can protect one side of your car.
• If you have to enter a parking space where another car is crowding one side of the space you'll have to decide how best to handle that risk. Never park crooked because someone is crowding the space, if the car that's crowding the space leaves you will now look like the one that can't park. Always try to park straight.
• Child seats – If you pull into a space and the car you are parking next to has child seats in it remember for a parent to properly strap their child in they normally need to fully extend their doors. This could be a good sign to find another space.

In the end, a door dent here and there may be inevitable. There are companies that perfor Paintless Dent repair. This is the art of using special tools to push the dent out from the inside without the need for painting the dent. It's clean and many times the repair can be performed while you wait.

Insurance is one of the few things in life that you need to buy, but hope you never use. The reality is most people will need to have major forms of insurance such as life, auto, health and disability.

Disability insurance is one of those things that people rarely think of as a necessity. But statistics show that a person is more likely to become temporarily disabled in their younger years of life than they are to die. If you were temporarily unable to work, how would you support your family? Employer-sponsored disability insurance programs often have very short limits and replace a small percentage of your income.

Purchasing disability insurance allows you to get a much higher percentage of your income back in the event that you are unable to work. No disability insurance ever gives you 100 percent replacement of your income, but many come very close. Get your free disability insurance quotes in minutes through InsuranceQuotes.us.

FNo, were not asking you to take out a policy on your soggy-weather gear. Yet much like an umbrella, this aptly-named insurance helps provide you with a canopy of protection against catastrophic financial events. Picture this:

• Your neighbor slips in your yard and successfully sues you for $2 million. But your homeowners insurance tops out at $500,000.
• Your teenager is at fault in a major car accident, harming several people and causing damage well in excess of your $300,000 car insurance coverage limits.
• Your dog bites and seriously injures a child. You are liable for the extensive medical expenses.

These are just a few unfortunate (aka: nightmare) situations in which a personal umbrella policy could come to the rescue by providing additional coverage up to the limits of your umbrella policy.

In other words, once your primary insurance coverage runs out-whether its your homeowners insurance, car insurance, or boat insurance-your personal umbrella policy kicks in. Plus, umbrella insurance covers many situations that typically arent covered by other liability policies.

Medicare is one of the biggest benefits offered to retired individuals. After all, this type of coverage is not based on medical condition but instead age. Any individual who receives Social Security will automatically become enrolled in Medicare when they hit the age of 65. If you decide to delay your Social Security benefits until after 65, make sure that you still enroll in Medicare. Those who are automatically enrolled in Medicare will receive a notification in the mail from the Social Security Administration.

No matter where you live or who you are, as long as you are 65 you can get Medicare. This holds true no matter if you have a current health insurance Chicago policy, or do not have any coverage at all.

Medicare Part C
The 1997 Balanced Budget Act expanded on the available options to include savings accounts, private fee for service plans, and managed care plans. Part C programs are offered in addition to the options that are available under Part A and B.

As Americans in the Gulf Coast states and parts of the Eastern seaboard watch the weather forecasts a little closer from June 1 to Nov. 30 (hurricane season), the Insurance Information Institute (I.I.I.) is providing several important steps homeowners and business owners can take to protect both home and property.

Among them:
Review Your Insurance Coverage - The time to review your policy is prior to having to file a claim. It is important for consumers to have both the proper amount and kind of insurance.

Individuals should be sure to have enough coverage to rebuild their home or business and replace all the contents. In the event you've made a large alteration or improvement to your residence or home, let your agent know so the policy can be updated. Homeowners should also find out how much coverage is available for Additional Living Expenses (ALE). Finally, 90 percent of all natural disasters involve some kind of flooding. Keep in mind that flood damage is not covered through standard home insurance policies; however it is available from the National Flood Insurance Program, along with some private insurers.

Put Together a Home/Business Inventory - This inventory is a list of all of one's personal or business possessions, along with their estimated value. The updated list helps individuals to acquire the right amount of insurance, speed up the claims process by substantiating losses and provide documentation for tax purposes or disaster assistance.

Protect Your Property - Individuals should hurricane-proof their home by keeping wind and water out. Among the means to do this would be investing in storm shutters and reinforced garage doors; securing roof shingles and sealing any openings; making sure all windows are properly installed and boarded up ahead of a hurricane to prevent mass broken glass.

Have an Evacuation Plan in Place - Finally, when a hurricane is near, advanced planning plays a major role. Decide before on where you will go and how you will get there.

The I.I.I. also recommends individuals practice their evacuation plan by giving themselves just 10 minutes to pack up the family,
Preventing hurricanes is not an option, but being prepared for them with the right insurance coverage and evacuation plan can make a world of difference.

If you think about it for a minute, you insure everything thats significant in your life; why not insure yourself? You are priceless after all (or at least pretty close to priceless). Life insurance helps provide you peace of mind and can provide your family with financial stability and security when it matters most.

So, How Does It Work?

If you suffer from insomnia, then you can try reading the endless explanations and confusing legal mumbo-jumbo on the internet. You'll be instantly cured.

Or, if you're truly curious, consider these simple questions:

• Do you work full time, inside or outside the home?
• Are you a caregiver for your children and/or spouse?
• Do you own a home?
• Are you recently married, do you have children, or are you recently retired?

Every dollar earned, every daily task that contributes to your household running smoothly, every investment...all of it factors into the security and stability that you and your family rely on each day.

A life insurance policy helps to ensure that in the event something happens to you, the needs of your loved ones can be provided for up to the amount you feel you are worth. Or your family can be provided for based on the policy amount you choose.
