Allstate Insurance Car Accident Injury FAQs
“In Good Hands” With an Allstate Insurance Bodily Injury Claim
Allstate was an emerging division of Sears, Roebuck, and Co. in the 1930s. Since then, the insurer has asked potential consumers, “Are you in good hands?” Currently, the Company trails behind State Farm and GEICO insurance companies in the auto and home insurance industry.
Allstate maintains $120 billion in assets and generates $30 billion in revenue annually. The Company provides various products, including insurance solutions for homeowners, renters, drivers, and small businesses in the Chicago area and across the United States.
Frequently Asked Questions About Allstate Insurance Claims Related to Chicago Car Accidents
Can I Trust the Adjuster to Fairly Evaluate My Bodily Injury Claim?
Allstate is a profitable company that markets their business using successful advertising campaigns that suggest the insurance company is always on their policyholders’ side.
The Company is in business to generate profits for their shareholders and will often go to great lengths to ensure they maximize profits by shifting the responsibility and financial burden over to the injured victim. This practical business model minimizes payouts to the injured policyholder, other victims hurt, or killed by the auto policyholder, or both.
Does Allstate Use a Computer Formula to Evaluate My Auto Accident Claim?
That is partially true. Allstate typically generates its first settlement offer using Colossus, a proprietary computer system used by many major insurance companies, designed to determine the worth of an injury claim. Some insurance industry professionals suggest that Allstate relies on Colossus much more than any other insurance company.
Over the years, Allstate has been fined by regulatory agencies because they have inaccurately determined the fair value based on how a jury would decide on non-tangible damages, including pain and suffering. Some suggest that the complex Colossus computer algorithm reduces claim payouts by 20% or more than the case’s actual value.
Many in the insurance industry have indicated that Allstate deliberately tries to settle injury cases significantly below fair market value if the injured victim has yet to hire an injury attorney. If the injured party chooses not to settle the case for much less than what it is worth, Allstate is known to use overly aggressive defense strategies to protect their shareholders from paying out a fair settlement.
Is it True That Allstate Will Often Deny a Claim Outright or Delay the Settlement Offer for an Unreasonable Length of Time?
Yes, more than twenty years ago, the Company contracted McKinsey and Co., a legal consulting firm that used systematic strategies for forcing injured parties into accepting significantly lower than fair settlements, so they would not face a claim denial.
Allstate was known for punishing the injured party if they hired an attorney or did not accept Allstate’s settlement offer immediately. By 2008, many of Allstate’s documents for reducing settlement payments to boost profits came to light to the public.
So, is Allstate Better or Worse Than Other Insurance Companies When it Comes to Resolving Personal Injury Claims?
Allstate is about the same as every other auto insurer offering insurance solutions for personal injury cases. Like all other insurers, Allstate looks out for their shareholders, typically at the injured victims’ expense.
Because of that, it is crucial to hire an experienced personal injury law firm that can help in navigating through the complicated process of resolving an Illinois automobile accident claim.
