About Progressive

Since its humble beginnings in 1937, Progressive’s mission has been to provide affordable automobile insurance. An innovative and customer-center company, they offer insurance for every type of vehicle from scooters to boats and pride themselves on fast and easy service. When compared to other automobile insurance companies such as GEICO and Allstate, Progressive has a comparatively low customer rating. A survey conducted by USNews.com found that only 58% of polled Progressive customers were satisfied with their experience. Poor communication from Progressive claims agents and dissatisfaction with the outcome of their settlements were reported as the reasons for their unfavorable ratings.

In every No-Fault insurance claim, there are three potential outcomes. The first is that both parties agree to an amount of compensation. The second is that the claim is denied based on insufficient grounds or incomplete information. In the third potential outcome, a settlement is offered, but the client is dissatisfied with the amount of that settlement. In the latter two instances, the client always has the option of disputing the decision of the insurance adjuster.

In the event that you decide to dispute a denied or dissatisfying claim, it is strongly recommended that you engage the services of a professional personal injury law firm. Even in the event that your insurance claim is not denied, it is in your best interest to hire a personal injury lawyer to argue your case.

Frequently Asked Questions

Ideally, most individuals will never be in a car accident and will never need to file a No-Fault Insurance claim. However, accidents do happen. The following are a few of the most common questions regarding car accidents and No-Fault insurance claims:

1. Is it bad to file a No-Fault insurance claim? If the cost of repairs exceeds your deductible, it is prudent to file a No-Fault insurance claim. If the cost is less than your deductible, it might not be worth it to file a No-Fault insurance claim.
2. What should I do if an accident was my fault? New York State is a No-Fault state, meaning that you are entitled to receive No-Fault benefits from your insurance company regardless of who is deemed to be at fault for the accident. You should never admit fault or claim liability for an accident without talking to a top rated Buffalo car accident attorney.
