A jury awarded five former State Farm Insurance agents, including Joseph J. Kelly, Joplin, $20 million, in a wrongful termination case tried in Jackson County, according to an Associated Press article.
The jury backed the former agents, who said they were fired after they criticized the way the company was treating its policyholders.
According to the article, the five former agents were fired after signing a letter to the Texas insurance commissioner which alleged "that the company overcharged for homeowner's insurance, engaged in sales discrimination and attempted to defraud accident victims of the full amount they were due."
