Kalkstein v. State Farm
VERDICT
Trial
08/31/26 – 09/02/26
Summary
In this homeowners' insurance case, plaintiffs Andrea and Scott Kalkstein sued State Farm in 2023 arguing their "all risk" homeowners policy should cover storm damage they incurred at their home earlier that year. They claim water damage in their garage clearly occurred due to a hole caused by high winds, however State Farm maintains the claim was properly denied and the damage in question took place long before the storm.
