BECKLEY — A Raleigh County motorist is suing Allstate Insurance, alleging breach of an insurance contract.
Tammy Thomas of Beckley filed a complaint June 15 in Raleigh Circuit Court against Allstate Insurance Company, alleging the insurer refused to effectuate a prompt, fair and equitable settlement on the plaintiff's claim.
