Just checking, anyone have 'issues' with Allstate auto claims?

1. Hahaha

Never and insuring 3 kids through their teen years has not been easy. I think it has a lot to do with our agent.

2. Never. I have had Allstste Ins for about 30 yrs.

I did change agents once. Our old agent sold his business to a new person who started harassing us for payment days before they were due. The emails were threatening if the payment was late and we didn't make late payments.

3. Google Allstate insurance complaints.

Lots of lawsuits over bad settlements, going back years.
Which is why we are not using them, but I did in Cal. for my car. Never had a claim.

4. Thanks. I suspected they were not good,

re: settlements etc, cause JUST heard from them about a claim I have against them/their insured. I have Geico, who suggested I make claim through other party's insurance which is allstate. (In Maryland.)

She backed into me in parking lot, damaged DRIVER door, EDIT! (can't fully close or lock it, and some damage to mirror. Maybe frame too.) My old car may be a 'total,' but I want repair $.

Spoke with allstate claim 'adjuster,' who said their investigation showed we were both at fault. I will receive it in the mail, and can take it up with Geico for arbitration. Must say I don't have $1500 hanging around for repair, but even more angry/upset that I could be at fault when someone backs into my car.

Thanks again, grrrrl.

5. FYI: I look every product, company, etc that I may be spending money on.

It is pretty easy to tell the the one off complaints from the serious ones. Has saved me a lot of $$$$.

Allstate absolutely screwed over hurricane victims down here, esp. after Katrina.
State Farm gets lots of complaints for poor claims, too.

6. Yes, have heard about both of them.

Have been pretty satisfied with Geico.

7. Same type of thing happened to me.

Was a client for over 25 years. Dropped them immediately and never looked back.

8. 'Sorry' I don't have that option

as not a client of theirs; just want a few $$$ to repair my old car (which runs beautifully, and I hope never to give up!)
