Ugh. Typical.
I worked for a law firm who's clients were the insurance companies. Health, life, home, car, etc. It was a horrible job. The cases that my boss had to defend were just terrible! It really is usually the bottom of the barrel of people most of the time. There were some cases that made you mad at the insurance companies, JUST PAY THEM! And others that just made you hate people and showed you how deceptive and greedy people could be! WV has horrible laws and also just judicial issues. The income levels are low, so there are so many people that are uninsured, so when there is an accident, the uninsured motorist coverage kicks in and that really sucks.
We had one kid who was a star high school football player that was in an accident and was claiming his football career was over, so was asking for a boatload of money, yet I found a local news article about his winning touchdown at a recent game!
Then we had another accident. If you can call it that... One guy intentionally ran down and rear ended another guy, then pulled him out of the car and beat him to a pulp. His insurance company would not pay the offenders claim cause
it was an intentional act. The guy who got hit sued the insurance company, of course, and the guy who intentionally hit him also sued his own insurance co. The JURY actually gave them a combined award of 500k!!! So they had to split that in half. So the guy who intentionally hit this guy and beat him got 250k!! Can you imagine how the victim felt about this guy getting paid for his actions!
The whole thing is sickening. I was only there a year, it was horrible having to deal with that crap every day.
Cut-and-dried case. The guy ran a red light and killed the woman. He was underinsured, Pregressive was required to make up the difference according to the policy which the woman PAID FOR.

I don't like 'em just for their name, plus they support the liberal agenda, now I'm REALLY glad I don't use them!
