Insurance quote from The General

Since the pages are headed "Consumer Complaints & Reviews", I'm a bit surprised that the disapproval ratings for both companies aren't closer to 100%.

From what I have heard from friends and acquaintances that use Allstate, it is a good company. It has it's problems, like every other insurer has, but most of what I hear is good. If I ever need to leave State Farm, Allstate is one of the first I will check out.

Most insurance companies are easy to deal with on simple small one time claims, the issues come in when there are major losses or injuries envoled.

Or when things are questionable, this is the time when you need to bring in an attorney.

A friend I know had his out board motor stolen off a fishing boat in only 5 minutes while at a fast food joint and the insurance company denied the claim as it sounded fishy to them, but it was a valid claim. My friend didn't bother using an attorney and just wrote it off. But it taken to court they would have to pay up.

You will find this tactic used during muliple fault auto claims and during a lot of home damage claims, to deny them or stone wall the client.

A 2007 investigation by CNN reported that major car insurance companies, including State Farm and Allstate Insurance, are increasingly fighting claims from those injured by their insured members. In some cases, the settlement proposed amounts to just $50 or the threat that any lawsuit would be made so expensive and time-consuming that it would not be worth the victim's time. State Farm and Allstate have denied these allegations.[14] This followed on the heels of criminal investigations by the states of Louisiana and Mississippi, which found that State Farm had wrongly denied claims stemming from Hurricane Katrina.[15] Richard F "Dickie" Scruggs pleaded guilty in March for his role in trying to pay Judge Henry Lackey of Mississippi a $50,000 bribe for a favorable ruling in a dispute involving a $26.5 million settlement after Hurricane Katrina.[16]
