State Farm Fire & Casualty Cos. made questionable decisions in handling Hurricane Katrina claims, but a nearly two-year study found no pattern of fraud in Mississippi, according to a state agency report released Thursday.

The 42-page report by the Mississippi Insurance Department, which regulates insurers in the state, contradicts allegations of widespread fraud that followed the unprecedented storm in August 2005.
