I am a new customers to progessive. I had a accident within a few days of starting my policy with progressive. After, I reported the accident, I have been faced with nothing but discredting remarks from the Owings Mills, Maryland location. Two upper mgmt staff there, Mr. Dan McGuirk and Mr. Keith Goldberg has accused me of being untruthful about the accident. They have gone as far as telling me that I should have not pick progressive insurance if I had insurance prior. I am without a vehicle and have not received any support from this company. I believe that they target certain individuals based upon race, gender and location. I DO NOT RECOMMEND ANYONE TO CHOOSE PROGRESSIVE INSURANCE FOR COVERAGE!!!!! If there is anyone out there that can help me find a lawyer or support to assist with this matter.
 

In this day and age, a company like Progressive taping conversations of "other" people? It is simply amazing. I find it very hard to believe but apparently it's true. These companies have a law department that is supposed to educate them on the proper do's and don'ts. Amazing.

Some of you know that I was rear-ended almost 2 years ago by a girl who wasn't looking at the road but at something below the steering wheel (hmmm, cell phone or texting perhaps?) I was stopped dead when she hit me and she never hit the brakes.She pushed my car several feet and I barely missed being pushed into a Lexus SUV. The police arrived at about the same time Jim was able to get there from work so I said no ambulance but that Jim would take me to urgent care. By that time I had a HUGE headache and the pain through my neck, shoulders and upper back was severe. We had a golf vacation scheduled (and already paid for-non refundable, of course) for two weeks later. I couldn't even putt much less swing a club.

Now, after receiving various treatments from massages, to muscle relaxers and vicodin, to chiropractic manipulations, to a specialty mattress (on the advice and written RX from my primary care doctor), Progressive Insurance is only willing to pay about a third of my medical bills. On top of that, they now want to settle the claim (without paying the rest of the medical bills, etc.) and have offered a pittance for 2 years of pain and suffering. I am so frustrated. I DID NOT want to have to go the litigation route. It is just not who I am but I feel like I have been left no other choice. I still have a level of chronic pain and don't see the end in sight. But this insurance company is not willing to consider that my pain may continue into the uncertain future.

So, when you see those cute little Progressive Insurance advertisements on TV, remember...you get what you pay for. How would you feel if you had an auto accident and your insurance company refused reasonable care to the person you injured? I am glad that we are insured by one of the BIG multi-line insurane companies that operates, in my opinion, with the greatest of integrity. Remember, cheaper is NOT always better.
