Various Insurance Coverages – Limiting the Loss

...ou would be amazed how many waive this coverage, and the happy Progressive Insurance spokesperson, Flo, will be happy to have you “name your price” and ruin your life.

A Claim Against Your Own Insurance Company?

...ring down around you. Some lawyers will immediately file suit against your insurance company, embarrassing the adjustor, putting him on the defensive, and creating an enemy.
