State Farm, California's largest home insurer, said Thursday it will offer renewals to all of its 250,000 L.A. County residential policyholders slated to have been dropped, not just those in fire rava

State Farm said that it has paid out close to $500 million in claims following the wildfires that have ravaged the Los Angeles region. As of Jan. 27, the company has processed a total of 10,100 claims for home and auto damage resulting from the fires.

State Farm, one of the largest insurers in California, announced Wednesday that it will offer policy renewals to homeowners impacted by the wildfires that erupted in the Los Angeles area last week, following previous plans to drop coverage.

Months before the Los Angeles wildfires sparked, State Farm’s California arm was already in trouble, it told state regulators. Its policyholder surplus — the cash it has on hand to pay out claims — had dropped from more than $4 billion in 2016 down to just $1.

Since the wildfires broke out in early January, State Farm’s claims department has fielded over 7,400 home and auto claims, State Farm said.

About 1,600 policies for Pacific Palisades homeowners were dropped by State Farm in July, the state insurance office says.
