insurance companies based on their reader's claim experience. Farmers

Bad Faith Insurance Companies (FBIC). Site includes an investigative

According to Farmers Insurance's web site they have more than 15 million
customers. I wonder how many of those customers have been to the "Avoid
Farmers Insurance" web site. If you or someone you love is insured by
Farmers Insurance you owe it to yourself and to them to visit this non-
commercial web site. We are not trying to sell anything we just want to
educate and inform consumers.
