Allstate insurance claims can be a headache like any other kind of insurance claim. However, despite being in business for nearly 100 years, Allstate’s reputation as a leading car insurance provider has been somewhat tarnished in recent years. As one of the largest insurance providers in the industry, the company puts injured victims at a severe disadvantage.
If you’ve suffered injuries in a Washington, D.C., motor vehicle collision, you could face a difficult fight in getting an insurance company to pay your claim. Even if the accident wasn’t your fault, Allstate’s objective is to protect its company and grow its profits. The car accident lawyers at Chaikin, Sherman, Cammarata & Siegel, P.C. aggressively pursue insurance companies, especially those who employ bad-faith methods in handling your claim.

Allstate Car Accident Claims
While Allstate has been in business for nearly 100 years, researchers at the American Association for Justice rank Allstate as the worst insurance company in America. Allstate’s primary goal is to earn returns for its shareholders, which often comes at the expense of its policyholders.
Allstate has received criticism for bad faith tactics in denying third-party claims of injured victims caused by the negligence of its policyholders. Angry parties have filed lawsuits alleging Allstate:
- Improperly devalued cars that were subject to a total loss in property damage claims;
- Without good cause, forced injury victims to undergo medical exams with physicians chosen by Allstate;
- Rejected claims for minor-impact soft-tissue injuries.
Challenges Accident Victims Face With Allstate
While car accident victims have rights, getting Allstate to compensate their losses requires strict compliance with the legal procedures. Like other car insurance companies, Allstate’s process involves filling out the right forms and/or listing the details of your damages.
To have a valid claim, you must support your claim with proper documentation regarding the cause of the accident, your injuries, medical care, and other relevant information.
However, the Allstate claims process is difficult even when you supply all the paperwork and evidence. The representative assigned to your case will analyze every detail very closely, looking for reasons and ways to invalidate your claim or offer you a settlement worth less than your damages.
