It's not only Allstate. This egregious strategy permeates the entire insurance industry.

Who thinks exposing this Allstate model of claims adjusting is confined to just auto losses?
Just because this system was documented by an attorney who worked with Allstate auto and bodily injury claims doesn't mean its intent and implementation is not copied and used elsewhere by a majority of companies across all their lines.
Read how cleverly they use an entire indoctrination process and try so carefully to write it in a way that could be denied as being harmful or unfair.
However with the verbal instructions and hype that accompanies the insurance industry's effort to expose fraud and waste, they make their claims people and the public think that it is the rule rather than the exception.
There is no doubt in my mind that a similar internal plan mirroring this one in auto claims was what caused the Twodee thread about similar tactics. While that insurer may not have actually taken the life of her sister, they certainly made her fight against cancer a terrible ordeal. The insurer slowed down or completely denied proven treatments that could have saved her much grief and possibly her very life.
All of you who read this and know the tactics they use - please help by linking your own pods and threads that keep repeating what Americans deserve - a single payer system where profit does not dictate care.
The Iraq War alone, could have paid for a good start on a well-thought-out single payer system that was fair to all Americans.

Isn't it time we made it known to regulators and lawmakers that secret deals made with gag orders in place in appellate courts is not how we want the wrongdoers to be treated when they scam policyholders?
How many times have you heard of settlements being made out of court BUT with stipulations that the settlement arrangements were sealed.
That rick has long protected dishonest insurers from persons who could find that the patterns exist.
In this case, had the attorney not oncxe worked FOR Allstate, this would be another tactic that would have been swept under the rug and a "no discussion of the settlement" type order put in place to protect the insurer.
It is time we told legislators, regulators and jurists that this is unacceptable.
Please join me in spreading the word to your friends and in having them meet here to tell their own stories while also weighing in on what Allstate did to lose a default judgment.
