Looks like those laws had a good intent. Yet, we know where the road of good intentions leads us...

I doubt the intent or effect of the whistleblower law is to protect someone who breaks the law in the name of whistleblowing. If someone is fired for stealing documents or other proprietary information I cannot imagine the law is designed to protect them.

IMHO, it will protect them from any type of employer/employee retaliation, however, it WILL NOT protect them from any laws they themselves broke. Additionally they had the regulating insurance board they could have confided with should they had wanted the justice of the office of attorney general in the state with jurisdiction regarding insurance fraud. Most likely they did not utilize any or all of the proper chain of commands. Time can only make provisions for the truth to come out at this point. Everybody will have to work towards damage control in the meantime. There is the possability they are telling the truth, the vehicle/platform they chose is questionable in and of itself. If they are telling the truth, Renfro will have a PR nightmare on their hands.

Didn't SF get nailed recently in OK for pretty much the same thing? I think Haag was the named engineering company. Allstate has been tagged on several occasions for this sort of behavior.
LarryW, that is precisely what the whistle blower law is designed to do. Why should a company/business who is breaking the law be allowed to continue if the only the way they can be exposed is a insider blowing the whistle? Is procuring documentation of wrong doing from a perpetrator wrong? I don't think so.

I'm not that familiar with the Whistleblower's Act. But the first thing that ocurred to me was
that "technically" the Rigsbys didn't work for State Farm, they worked for, and were paid by Renfroe. Since it
was State Farm documents they took, etc. how are they protected under the Act?

If they are working for the king of torts (when did they 1st meet with him or his people?) then they stand to make a profit from their "theft" of information. Could that put them ouside the protections?

Good point olderthendirt. They maybe "employed" now by the attorney. As I mentioned on another website....this is no Enron and they are not Erin Brockovich (sp?).
