Allstate Auto Insurance, Are You in Good Hands?
Allstate Auto Insurance likes to advertise that when you are with Allstate "you're in good hands". This sounds great, but what if I am involved in a catastrophic injury car accident. Am I still in good hands? Allstate has spent many years projecting an image that has led people to believe that if they buy an Allstate policy they will be protected if something bad were to happen. Although this sounds great, we have seen evidence of Allstate not acting particularly friendly when they are in danger of being held liable for personal injuries, injuries that they were supposed to be protecting.
Allstate Auto Insurance in the News
Being involved in a personal injury lawsuit is a very traumatizing experience. In addition to recovering physically and emotionally from a horrific accident, victims find themselves faced with an array of very important questions that must be answered immediately. It is not unusual for insurance adjusters to ask for a recorded statement directly after a car accident. If those statements don't match up with how the accident truly happened, they may be used against you when trying to receive fair compensation. Unfortunately, this is just one example of how an insurance company may try to avoid being held liable for those covered under their policy.
An article published on May 2006 in Business Week details how Allstate routinely tries to deny its policy-holders their full legitimate benefits, often paying out less than they're entitled to.
Business Week writes:
"Claimants in the 'good hands' category may get swift reimbursement, but they will end up with less than they're entitled to," he says. Those who hold out for more -- and retain a lawyer to help them get it -- face battering in the courts and potentially years of delay. "You can get your claims resolved promptly or fairly," he argues, "but not both." Also according to the article, "Allstate deploys a variety of systems…to make sure it pays the minimum necessary -- and it plays hardball with those who seek more."
