The other driver had little or no insurance. Kaitlynn Fisher's policy with Progressive included uninsured/under-insured motorist protection, so Progressive was obligated to pay the difference.
The amount they were obligated to pay the Fisher family was a paltry $75,000. The instead tried to get the Fisher family to settle for 1/3. Then they helped represent the other driver in court to try to get the blame for the accident placed on Fisher which would release their obligation to pay.
They lost in court, and hopefully will lose many customers as well.
Thanks, that makes sense.
yes, Maryland forces us to pay for insurance to cover ourselves if we are hit by an uninsured driver. Unfortunately that is routine here in Maryland especially since they went out of their way to give drivers licences to illegals so many years.
When I first moved here from out of state finding and picking an insurance company was a challenge, I finally settled on GIECO because they discrimainate based on all types of risk factors that others dont to give the lowest rates without being a ripoff company.
