MY ALLSTATE HORROR STORY

Several years ago we had a house fire and at the time also had Allstate Insurance. We had two small children and the fire occurred in the middle of March in Chicago. (Have you ever tried to purchase winter children's clothing in March in Chicago? That is when the SUMMER clothes go on display!)

Our adjuster was not at all sympathetic to the ordeal of trying to run a household with children while trying to rebuild a house. He also played stupid with regard to being unable to replace certain items and the need to have some things brought in from somewhere else. They put us through a nickel and dime accountability nightmare.

I would NEVER hold Allstate Insurance again. Not only because of this ordeal but, of course, their premiums were infinitely more expensive than other providers, with far less service.

PR CRAP!

Please don't believe that "You're in Good Hands", or that "A Good Neighbor" will deliver "A Piece Of The Rock", if you buy their Insurance!

"There is no incentive for insurance companies to do what is right, such as live up to the promises made in their policies. Tort reformers fueled by insurance money think big business and the insurance industry need to be protected against "runaway juries." It's the other way around. Big business and the insurance industry have always been able to take care of themselves. The little people need protection from them. This country was founded on the common law right of the little guy to get into court with his hired gun to fight the oppressor, be it big government or big business. Take that away and we have nothing left. Look around. It's being whittled away, bit by bit, caps on damages here, restrictions on jury trials there. It won't end until we recognize the enemy and join together to take a stand against them. It will take the little people to do this together".
