I think they enjoying screwing you whether your on the phone or not, after all they are for profit companies not charities even IF they have a legal respocibility to you they will try and limit it as much as they can and use any means to do it I think they call it risk management and of course to try and fight them is ridiculas as they are protected by the state and your not ..

They do make it their mission to discourage you from making claims or being successful at collecting. I know that for sure.
So whenever I deal with our insurance company, I make very sure I don't just allow them to decide the outcome. I always take an active part in proving my "case" with them. I don't allow them to blow me off. They're used to folks just giving up with them since it's too much hassle.

Yes definitely, after a break in on my car & the day after I reported a claim. It was raining heavy and they asked for all the damage that I could see (torrential rain) . The day after was glorious and more damage was apparent. I ended up with two car claims? how annoying is that!!

Dont get me started, a few weeks back I was driving across the bridge and wham. Out of nowhere some knucklehead slams into my rear end. A brand new truck and his insurance company wanted to use aftermarket parts. I was arguing with them I got so mad. Finally I said. Look at the accident report numnutz. It said I had back and neck injuries. I said it would be so easy to go the the hospital and get some xrays and on the way home stop at my lawyers. He said, "are you threatening me". I said nope its a promise. He called me back ten minutes later and I got a check to fix the truck with OEM parts.
