We were in a car accident when a 84 year old woman made a left turn 65 feet in front of oncomming traffic, me, in an intersection. She had Allstate insurance and so did we. We thought that this would make everything so easy. How wrong we were! As soon as Allstate realized that we were going to need to be paid - our new car was totaled and we were rushed to the hospital in an ambulance - we became the enemy. It became obvious that Allstate was not going to cooperate with us. Because we did get a lawyer in order to get what AllState was reluctant to give us in the way of recompensatory damages, they had to defend the woman who had received a ticket at the scene! AllState has adopted a hard-ball attitude that simply delays at every opportunity with appeals and offers that do not even cover the costs of the accident and the lawyers. After two years I still do not have a settlement - they have appealed - I could end up with nothing or not enough to pay my costs after paying Allstate for car insurance. AllState's new policy is that the longer they take to pay the more likely you are to settle for whatever they offer you, just to end the drama. Also the net outcome for them is that over a year and just for the USA, they could save over $50 million. I can see their motivation, but whatever happen to the "good hands" you are supposed to be in? So if you have an accident pray that the other party does not have AllState, because they will stonewall you even if their insured is at fault!! And it won't make any difference if you have AllState also. test40

Now I realize never to trust any insurance company after being involved in a car accident wheather your dealing with your own insurance company or someone who hit you and it was their fault. It was their fault and the insurance company admitted it. Both my son and I were hurt. I needed therapy for almost a year and I'm still not completely healed. They kept calling me to settle. They said on these type of claims you can only collect $500. And they said several other things to us, we now know they were all lies. To make a long story short, We finally got a total of approximately $7,000. This took a year of arguing. I realized from someone else who is not an attorney, that you must keep on them and complain right to the top of the company. You see, if I had hired a lawyer, it would have cost the insurance company more than $5,000 to just to fight this with a lawyer. If I had given this case to a lawyer I would have collected probably $20,000 minus attorneys 1/3 fee and their costs. I would have ended up with more and probably have waited over 2 years to collect. I've also spoken with several others who have Progressive insurance as their insurance, that their own insureds have a hard time collecting from them. This even a known fact in the industry among lawyers. Hire a lawyer. Never trust the insurance company, even if its your own insurance company. That's, Progressive insurance company. K.
