“Progressive Claim” is no more a new word across the US. The lively and engaging spokesperson, “Flo,” is the face that makes it feel as if taking a progressive is the best and the easiest choice of insurance.

However, the other coin side, i.e., for the victims of car accidents dealing with a progressive claim is a nightmare.

What is Progressive Insurance Claim?

Established in 1937, Progressive corporation is an insurance in Mayfield Village. Over the years, the company has grown into a giant with lawyers across major cities. Though they have other personal insurance policies, their auto policies are quite a hit.

Progressive insurance is a ruthless policy that caters to high-risk drivers. The only agenda of the policy is to protect the profits, which means denying, delaying, and minimizing claim payouts whenever possible.

No wonder Progressive is one of the most extensive auto policies in the US, with nearly 13 million auto policies issued with a net worth of around $60 million.

What makes it so dreadful?

Now on paper, Progressive insurance looks similar to any other insurance company.

Then why do people dread making a Progressive claim?

Here are some pointers that prove that claiming Progressive insurance is not an easy job:

1. Profit is their top priority.

2. They follow the method of pressuring victims to give recorded statements.

3. They know the victim is under financial pressure after a crash/accident.

4. They exploit the victim’s ignorance about the expenses incurred to recover from the injuries.

Scared!!!! Wondering how can you handle this???

The solution is to hire an Attorney…

Here are some key benefits of a lawyer by your side:

1. The first reason to hire an attorney is that an attorney will fight till the end to get the claim.

2. In progressive claims, the amount is meager and unreasonable. But, again, having an attorney will help you calculate the exact compensation amount and ensures you don’t settle for anything lesser.

3. While it is known that progressive plays hardball and would try to scare you initially, having an attorney makes them understand that you, too, mean business.

4. In the quest for winning, progressive may also spy on you via social media or observation to prove that your injuries or damage from the accident are not that serious. Having a lawyer on board will help you plan a counterattack for all the possibilities.

5. While dealing with progressive claims, it is common to ask for recorded statements from the victims. For example, the adjuster may ask when and where you were driving during the accident. If you say you were driving to drop your kids to school.

The adjuster may royally blame saying with kids on board. You were distracted. If you have a lawyer, he will guide you and, most times, would not allow giving any recorded statements.
