Its not his sister. He reposted some dude's blog without taking out the 1st-person narrative.

Progressive has every right to argue in court that her underinsured motorists coverage shouldn't pay out, if they think it was partially her fault and the other insurance company (which wasn't on the hook for hardly any money at all) isn't interested in doing anything about it.

It was pretty clear from the get go this isn't the family of the Chiefs Planet poster. lol

I switched to Geico last month. $185 per month cheaper for the exact same coverage. **** Progressive and Flo

I replied to a dumb post claiming that Progressive would waste money on a trial even with 10 witnesses and video tape. Thats a silly, false statement on its face.

I have no love for Progressive, at all. They are a cut-rate no-frills insurer owned by stockholders, I'm just calling out obvious BS.

Should I have edited the guys story? I did throw up the disclaimer just a few posts in.

This is true, but it doesn't make your previous statement true.

FWIW, my experience with Progressive has been nothing short of incredible, even when they had no interest whatsoever in helping.

The latest - a few months ago someone backed into my wife's truck in a parking lot. The driver gave my wife false information - insurance that showed a current expiration, but in fact hadn't been in business for four years, bad phone number, etc. Well, we only carried liability on the truck. At that point, Progressive could have said, "You only carry liability, it's not our problem." They didn't do that. They went to work for three weeks trying to track down the driver based on vehicle description, an accurate VIN and name... and it worked. Then Progressive sent them a letter and a phone call telling them they're on the hook... long story short, after about two months, I drove to the lady's workplace and picked up a check for $1,600, and it was 100 percent thanks to work Progressive did that they were absolutely not obligated to do.

I'm about to dump Progressive anyway (I need house insurance and am switching my auto to the same new company). This makes me feel good about doing it.

Go with a mutual company, they do not have to worry about paying dividends.

seriously?

Yep. I did misspeak there - they did in fact say, "You only carry liability, so there's really nothing we can do..." But then they said they'd do whatever they could to help us recoup what was owed from the individual that hit her. And they actually did. And it seriously took about six weeks, the entire time Progressive was calling us, emailing us and letting us know what they found out, starting with when they thought they had identified her current insurance carrier... which turned out to be the insurance of the guy that owned the car before the bitch that hit my wife, and due to an filing error at that place still listed the car under his policy.

i don't know. if i could figure out it wasn't your sister i would think anyone else could.

i can understand progressive not wanting to pay on the claim. whether it's right or wrong is subject to opinion; but i would think if the defense in the case is coming from progressive then there has to be an issue there.
