YOU MAY NOT BE IN "GOOD HANDS"

Allstate is in the news again.  According to a report released recently by the American Association for Justice, Allstate heads a list of greedy insurance companies that routinely refuse to pay just claims, employ hardball tactics against their own policyholders, reward CEO's with extravagant salaries, and continue to raise premiums while enjoying huge profits. 

 Visit www.sunherald.com/business/story/675669.html to see the top 5 offenders on the list (including State Farm at #4).

Allstate and State Farm sell a huge share of auto insurance policies in Northern Indiana, including many drivers in Kosciusko County.   Given the massive profits reported by these two insurance giants you would think that they could afford to be cooperative in resolving personal injury claims and protecting their own insureds.  Not so.   Judges, mediators, medical providers, and accident attorneys throughout our area have experienced extreme frustration in dealing with claims for injuries involving these two insurance companies.  Unfortunately, when injured people are hurting and need help the most, they are finding that they are in a war with their own auto insurance company.
