Filing an injury claim with a giant insurer such as Progressive can be quite daunting, more so if your case is not cut and dry. Like any other business, Progressive does all it can to maximize revenue and minimize cash outflows in the form of settlements. Progressive will most likely try delaying settlements, ignore sit-down requests, or even refuse to send a payment check for an agreed-upon settlement if it can find a loophole for doing so.

Progressive has been in operation since 1937 and is governed by Texas state insurance laws wherever it operates in the state. It has offered auto insurance services since its inception. The company has built a name by insuring high-risk clients. Although Progressive has been touted as being radical in innovation, it still falls behind in terms of offering its clients timely settlements. The length taken by Progressive to settle a case is dependent on how complex the claim is and how aggressively the attorney representing you handles your negotiations.
Progressive has been reported in the past for acting in bad faith by failing to follow laws and regulations regarding their policies. It is the duty of an insurer to assist you through the claims process, provide reasonable answers when requested to do so, and come up with a fair settlement if the fault and liability of their insured client are established. If Progressive or any insurer has done any of the following to you, you may have grounds for filing a bad faith claim:
Having an attorney work on your case has numerous benefits. Your injuries may be too severe to allow you to leave the house or take care of errands. Furthermore, it is more than likely that you have never dealt with an insurance claim before and lack the relevant experience to negotiate your settlement.

Such agents are also known to get away with not acknowledging claims or returning phone calls in the hopes of having claimants lose hope or fail to meet filing deadlines.
