I hope this is sarcasm I am sensing.

Legally? Probably not... but yeah they did do a lot wrong, I understand that Insurance companies are there only to make money and not help people.

This isn't that uncommon. Glad it's finally getting press.

I'm sure thats the cool, hip thing to say about the big, bad insurance company, but lawyers are expensive ESPECIALLY if it goes to trial, and if you are 99% sure that the policyholder is entitled to be paid, then its a sunk cost. Pay them and move on. Insurance companies don't like paying for lawyers any more than you do.

Scumbags.

These laws are set up to protect corporate, not the consumer.

If you wanna argue whether they should be on the hook then fine. But wouldn't the part where they said they didn't provide counsel to the killer even though his lawyer declared himself a lawyer with "Progressive Advanced Insurance Company" tell you there's serious malfeasance afoot?

What did they do wrong? Enlighten me.

As far as I can tell the only thing they did "wrong" was to not immediately cut a check for a claim they didn't necessarily owe.

I think I'd be contacting the Insurance Regulation Board in your state to see about the legality of your sisters insurer representing the defendent. And sorry for your loss man. A person has to lose a sibling to know how it feels. Life's not fair

Progressive is the worst insurance company I've ever dealt with. I don't really give a shit about what you think is cool and hip. It was my misfortune to deal with them, and thankfully I won't ever have to do it again. From my experience they are chintzy and cheap and they don't make collecting money from them an easy experience even when you've bought every conceivable bell and whistle and it's perfectly clear they're supposed to. **** progressive.

Just a question, if the defendant in this case wins, would he turn around and sue Progressive for damages as the insurance carrier of her car?

morphius 08-16-2012 07:58 PM
insurance and lawyers, yup, sounds like hell. One can say that Progressive didn't do anything wrong, but it would be more difficult to argue that they did anything right as members of human race.

Only you would come in and defend the nobility of of Progressive in a thread like this.
