MY ALLSTATE HORROR STORY

On May 1st of this year, 2000, I was forced into an automobile crash because of an elderly man running a red light. My car struck his left front fender. After the crash the man continued to drive his car down the side of my car.

So far I have over $2000 in medical bills. On August 25, I was told that my claim was going to be denied.

The claims adjuster (ALLSTATE) dared me to try to get any money for my injuries. It seems like they took the claim when they paid for my car. They also let my doctor file a lien against my claim. Since I am dollar poor, and have no insurance, I have no way to fight back.

In no way did I contribute to the crash. The elderly man received a ticket and a fine. This is a sorry country that we have, when the rich run over the poor, and our so called public servants are in the pockets of BIG MONEY. We the people are supposed to be the masters of this country. Instead we are robbed through taxes to make the corrupt, richer.

Thank you for reading my story.

"There is no incentive for insurance companies to do what is right, such as live up to the promises made in their policies. Tort reformers fueled by insurance money think big business and the insurance industry need to be protected against "runaway juries." It's the other way around. Big business and the insurance industry have always been able to take care of themselves. The little people need protection from them. This country was founded on the common law right of the little guy to get into court with his hired gun to fight the oppressor, be it big government or big business. Take that away and we have nothing left. Look around. It's being whittled away, bit by bit, caps on damages here, restrictions on jury trials there. It won't end until we recognize the enemy and join together to take a stand against them. It will take the little people to do this together".
