July 3, 2018—An auto repair shop filed a class-action lawsuit against State Farm for allegedly telling its customers that the plaintiff's work is substandard and steering them towards shops that provide discounts, reported Madison-St. Clair Record.
Classic Auto Body Inc., filed a complaint on June 20 in the St. Clair County Circuit Court against State Farm Fire and Casualty Company.
According to the report and complaint, the plaintiff alleges the defendant interfered with its business expectancy by telling Classic Auto Body's customers that it does not guarantee its work and the work was substandard. The shop also claimed State Farm steers its customers to its preferred shops that provide discounts.
Madison-St.Clair Record reported that the plaintiff requests a trial by jury and seeks an order certifying this case as a class action and appointing the plaintiff and its counsel as representatives. Classic Auto Body also seeks an injunction order enjoining the defendant form continuing to divert business from the plaintiff, award for all damages and legal fees and any further relief as the court deems just and proper.
