And now on the flip side, a horrible story about evil insurance companies...

Comedian Calls Out Progressive Insurance for Defending His Sister's Killer; Progressive Responds in Heartless Robot Fashion

Quote:
In June of 2010, his sister Katie was killed in a car accident. She had a green light and the other driver ran the red — fault was clear. The other driver's insurance company settled with Katie's estate immediately, but because the driver was underinsured, the payment was not much. Based on the Progressive policy Katie had purchased, Progressive was required to pay the difference.

At which point we learned the first surprising thing about Progressive: Carrying Progressive insurance and getting into an accident does not entitle you to the value of your insurance policy. It just pisses off Progressive's lawyers.
Quote:
Progressive refused to pay, which meant Katie's parents had to pursue legal action. But in Maryland, you can't sue an insurance company for denying compensation. The parents' next move was to sue the other driver — something they did not want to do — just so they could establish his negligence and force Progressive to pay Katie's policy.
Quote:
At the trial, the guy who killed my sister was defended by Progressive's legal team.

If you are insured by Progressive, and they owe you money, they will defend your killer in court in order to not pay you your policy.
(Gawker)

Hmm.... the Progressive Insurance story takes a turn for the odd...

Flo Suddenly a Problem for Progressive in Its Social-Media Crisis

Quote:
Progressive Insurance is surely longing for the days when the Internet's most pressing question about its spokeswoman Flo was whether she is hot or not.
Matt Fisher's devastating Tumblr post about the death of his sister, a Progressive customer, in a car accident—and his claim, though the company denies it, that it defended her killer in court in an effort not to pay out the benefit on her policy—have left Flo completely out of her depth.
