Oklahoma lawsuit alleges State Farm cheats homeowners

An Oklahoma family's battle with State Farm over roof damage has drawn the support of state Attorney General Gentner Drummond.

BROKEN ARROW, Okla. — Billy Hursh couldn’t believe what he was hearing from his insurance company.

After a hailstorm battered his roof in October 2023, two different contractors told him he needed a full roof replacement, but his insurance company, State Farm, told him the roof was in “fair” condition.

That dispute eventually led to what would become a yearslong legal battle that has now reached the highest court in the state.

Hursh told NBC News during an interview at his home that the first storm was bad enough, but eight months later, an even bigger storm hit.

“The trees are blowing sideways, and you can hear the hail, and the power is flickering on and off,” Hursh remembered.
