Progressive’s betrayal of woman after fatal car crash could happen to you

Paying auto insurance  premiums is no guarantee that Progressive Insurance keep its promises after you’ve  been injured

Progressive Insurance could betray you in the same way it betrayed comedian Matt Fisher’s sister, Kaitlynn Fisher, after her car crash.  Sadly, this is the same way Progressive has been betraying people I’ve been helping for years.
After years of accepting, cashing and depositing Ms. Fisher’s dutifully paid premiums for “Underinsurance Motorist Benefits,” Progressive Insurance used Ms. Fisher’s premium dollars to hire a lawyer to contest her “underinsurance” claim by “defending” the truly at-fault driver and blaming Ms. Fisher for the car crash that took her life, despite overwhelming evidence that the other driver had caused the crash that took Ms. Fisher’s life.
The above story is taken directly from: Michigan Auto Law blog
Remember...paying your premium does not guarantee that you will be paid when you need it most.  This story, if you keep reading, Progressive lost in the end....but as Steven M. Gursten states in his blog: 
"In the end, the truth won out. Progressive’s betrayal failed to pay off.  But the disturbing part is that they tried. They chose to do this."
Never doubt, for one second, they will spend $75,000 to defend against paying you $100,000 they will do it which is why you need an ATTORNEY from the beginning of your claim.  Click Steven M. Gursten's blog and read the evidence.....Kaitlynn Fisher did not cause the accident but the Insurance Company STILL FOUGHT to pay the claim.  

You can say all you want that Lawyers are "not good people" and you can say that Lawyers don't care about you they care about the $$$$$.  If this is how you feel about Lawyers...it's because you didn't have a good experience with one.  Find one that KNOWS their field of practice, KNOWS their clients, KNOWS the laws and fights for YOUR rights.  When you find this Attorney your views will change.  Insurance Companies promise to be there for you....an Attorney makes them keep that promise.....Who is really on your side?

Let's face it:  You have to have car insurance.  I would rather have them laugh at me when I pay my premium saying, "ya, let's hope you never need this because we know what's in the fine print" than to have them promise to take care of me and when I need them....they act like we've never met.  Knowledge is power.  If you know this you will be better prepared if you are involved in an accident.


Special thanks to Steven M. Gursten for the use of his story.
