What a dick move by Progressive

[Mr. Laz]

Twice Progressive found a way to screw me over years ago and avoid paying for car damage.

once the accident occurred on private property(apartment complex) so it became a 'no fault' claim because apparently full police stuff doesn't happen for non-injury collisions on private property. Both cars were covered by Progressive. So they basically got to choose who's fault it was and who got full coverage. Of course they chose the other person's POS car at a fraction of the cost even though she was on the wrong side of the road. Leaving my brand new and much more expensive repair to get screwed.

Other time, apparently they have a rule in their millions of lines of small print that says if there is a crime involved in any capacity they don't have to pay shit for anything. It doesn't matter if the 'crime' was complete bullshit. The Police ended up giving us both tickets so i get screwed. There were witnesses that said the other guy was driving like a maniac but it didn't matter. Ticket of any kind = no pay for anything

I won't ever go back

If people spent 1% of the energy they use raging against the machine to actually educate themselves on these issues, I don't know what there would be to talk about on here.

It's like an ignorance contest around here.

Several years ago I worked for an insurance company and there was this guy with a large Rage Against The Machine poster in his cube. I always wanted to go up to him and be like 'we are the machine, buddy.' I think they fired him.

I swear to God, every day becomes an exercise in trying to introduce people like Bump and Just Not Gettin' It to adult problems while trying to educate them without showing them pictures of happy kittens hanging from branches.

CP seems to have developed a sub-culture of willful institutional ignorance.

Everyone's right - Progressive should've just sat back and let some broke idiot essentially act as their attorney in litigating what was almost certainly an extremely high-dollar lawsuit. That's exactly how this would've ended up had they done nothing because the law would not have allowed them to re-challenge the tortfeasor's underlying liability in a subsequent action. That's going to be prohibited by the principals of claim preclusion and res judicata.

This isn't even a close call. Progressive absolutely did the responsible thing here and it has absolutely nothing to do with their 'hatred' of people.

And it's settled.
