Stay away from progressive - Auto Insurance

I didn't know this web site existed until I was looking on line for a way to get help with a progressive claim. Wish I saw it and all the complaints earlier, may have saved my family a big headache.

Last June my parents bought a brand new 31 foot motor home. My dad worked his whole life and scrimped and saved for this motor home for use in his retirement.



My parents used the motor home three times in the past year for a total of 11 days. The motor home had a total of 800 miles on it. About five weeks ago my dad was taking the motor home in to have it de-winterized so he could use it to go camping when he was in a chain reaction accident.

My father was stopped in a traffic jam when someone came speeding up from the rear at a very high rate of speed. The car hit 1 car which skid into a second car, which skid into the rear of the motor home. The motor home was heavy enough to stop the forward progress of the accident, but it suffered quite a bit of damage.

My father called his insurance company, Progressive, and has had nothing but problems. First The person who caused the accident has the lowest policy allowed by law $10,000/$50,000, but it should be no problem as my parent carry under insured motorist. That's where we were wrong.

Progressive required my parents to take the motor home to a certain shop to have the work done. I believe this is illegal, but my parents did it. The adjuster came out and said there was about $5000 worth of damage. According to the repair shop there is a lot more then that. The frame is bent in one place, and broken in another. I think this should warrant totaling the motor home and replacing it, but they say it can be fixed. Then the adjuster told my parents some of the damage was done prior to the accident and they would not pay for it.
