Headquartered in Mayfield Village, Ohio, Progressive offers a wide range of insurance products, including auto, home, and renters’ insurance, as well as coverage for motorcycles, boats, and RVs.

In an effort to frustrate you, there are several tactics that automobile insurance companies, including Progressive, will use when presented with an automobile accident claim. First, the claims handler will be difficult to reach. Secondly, the claims handler will ask for documents or materials that have little, to no, relevance to the claim itself. Thirdly, the claims handler will delay reviewing your submitted claims package or request an inordinate amount of time to review the package before stating its position towards a settlement. Fourthly, they will provide you with lowball offers and drag out the settlement negotiations. These tactics are designed to annoy and frustrate you in hopes of getting you to commit to accepting an amount of money that is much less than what you deserve for your injuries and losses. This is where our team of strong and aggressive lawyers can really help. We have tools at our disposal to move the claims process along and hold the Progressive adjusters “feet to the fire” so to speak. If the Progressive adjusters are unreasonably delaying the process, we will file your lawsuit to get its attention.

Progressive Insurance is known for covering higher-risk drivers. Being labeled a high-risk driver can be due to driving history, type of car, or even credit history. So remember, a driver insured by Progressive Insurance may not be the most responsible motorist on the roadway and if they act irresponsibly, we will be ready to hold them accountable.

The attorneys at Hollis Wright have extensive experience with automobile insurance companies and car accident laws.

You need an attorney with specific experience with insurance companies, specifically Progressive.

The adjusters at Progressive Insurance can be difficult to negotiate with after a car accident in Alabama. They are trained to work against the claimant’s interest and offer the lowest possible amount for your damages. They may even try to completely deny your claim. The manipulation tactics the company may use are below:

• They will offer an inadequate settlement. A common tactic used by Progressive adjusters is to simply make a settlement offer immediately after receiving the claim. Generally, these offers are much less than you deserve and do not match the value of the claim. Do not accept an initial offer. Once you have accepted an amount, you cannot re-open the claim or ask for additional funds down the road. Progressive adjusters know this and will push for an early settlement.
• They will take a recorded statement. Adjusters may try to obtain a recorded statement from you after the accident. Even if you do not admit fault, adjusters can and will use out-of-context statements to avoid paying claims. Do not under any circumstances provide a recorded (or non-recorded) statement to Progressive should they be the at-fault party’s insurance company.
• They will review online activity. Progressive adjusters will carefully watch a claimant to assess whether they are as injured as they claim. This may include monitoring social media and highlighting photos or posts that seem to contradict the claimed injury. They will also take these photos and videos out of context, so it’s best to avoid posting at all after an accident. It is also best to put al of your social media settings on private.

Due to Progressive’s desire to pay you as little as possible, hiring a skilled attorney is vital. Many of the pitfalls associated with dealing with an insurance company are related to speaking directly to them. You need a skilled Progressive auto accident claims handling attorney on your side to serve as the point of contact with Progressive. This will reduce the risk of an injured driver saying something to incriminate themselves or undermine the claim.

Our attorneys will take all steps necessary to reconstruct your accident and ensure Progressive pays you what you deserve for the injuries you sustained and the consequential damages. We will use investigators, specialists, and experts, in-house and retained, to make sure we have the full picture of how your accident occurred and what type of compensation you are due.
