State Farm Auto Accused Of Racketeering Through Campaign Contributions To Judges

State Farm policyholders are receiving notifications via postcard of an upcoming trial that may allow them to recover for alleged actions and/or conduct by the company to influence actions by the Illinois Supreme Court by providing $4 million dollars to the campaign. The underlying class action complaint comes from Illinois in which a jury awarded over a billion dollars to policyholders. However, the company and others named "created and conducted a RICO (Racketeer Influence and Corrupt Organization) enterprise to evade paying the $1.05 billion dollar judgement to 4.7 million State Farm policy holders," according to the federal court complaint.
