Allstate ruined my life

On July 3rd a driver of a vehicle ran a red light and hit the vehicle that my friend owned and is insured through Allstate. The police just happened to be there, everything is on video, so there is not a question of fault. However, I left numerous messages, and it is now July 30th AND NOT A PERSON HAS CONTACTED ME!!! On one of my calls in to request being called, the intake employee told me since I was a passenger, I complicated his report. Meanwhile, I am injured, in physio, and even my physiotherapist is being ignored. My condo is insured through ALLSTATE but will not be renewed next month. How could I trust them to react if anything goes wrong with my place.
I’ve been with Allstate for years. Other than the wait times they’re great. Rates are great. But if you buy a car on a weekend you can’t insure it until the following Monday. Allstate is the only insurance company who is completely unavailable Saturday & Sundays. This is ridiculous.
Did you know that on average Ontario drivers with good driving records pay $1,805/year in auto insurance? Is your insurance rate higher? Get a free car insurance quote and start saving today.
I have been waiting for a refund check of $660.75 as I cancelled my policy on April 23, 2024…. Agent forgot to cancel, so my money was withdrawn on April 27, 2024. I’ve been trying to get my money back since May 6 was told it took 15 business days for a payment to clear… lies! Automation payments don’t take 15 days to clear. Called Allstate again May 10, check has been issued and is in the mail… called May 16 they blamed Canada post, was also told that same day by someone else I’d have my check by May 22…. Guess what, still no check! I called as soon as I got home from work and was on hold for 35 minutes listening to bullshit about how important their clients are! So important, they can’t answer a call… or send the money they owe clients! Definitely would not recommend. I left Allstate as my insurance increased by $111.00 a month, no home or auto claims ever! Apparently because of my postal code, the rates went up. They are lying to me about my money and I this company does not care one bit about their clients!
I had a pleasure of having a great rep help me on my insurance, and he has been reliable & helps me find the best service to support my needs.
I would keep coming back to him to get my insurance needs met.
Thank you for your hard work.
We had a very easy to process car accident, not our fault and we had a video of the whole situation from the dash camera. The agents that pick up the phone are great, I would give 5 stars in this category as they are the only reason our claim got settled. The adjustor however; well, let me just say we have not the pleasure to even speak to her through out the process! She never picked up the phone, nor did she call as back. Very disappointing and begs the question. If Allstate have such a great claim customer service team, why do they need to pay an adjustor who doesn't even pick up the phone? This is the only reason why we haven't rated Allstate 5 stars.
Don't use Allstate. They're the worst!
I paid every month for my car insurance and when I have an accident they denied my claim and they even didn't let me know! Either
they make money from you...
If there is a zero here I would choose it. It’s already been months since my car got stolen and the adjuster assigned to me called me only once. I need updates on what is happening and what's gonna happen next. It is really tiring to call claim services for almost every day and they just gonna tell you to call your adjuster who doesn’t care. It’s so frustrating.
Please note they don't refund the deductible if you had an accident with a person. Why because they can not claim against the third person so your money would not be refunded. Very unfair! It is not acceptable.
Very very unfair. And the supporting thing is that it is not in your agreement.
The worst insurance I have ever seen. They don't accept to pay for the part which is damaged after an accident only because that part already has rust. They are slow. They are not available.

In 2016 a driver was texting, ran a red light at 65mph and hit me on my driver side. The drivers' insurance was through Allstate. Allstate reset every hearing we had for over 2 years. This cost me thousands in lost wages and even more in the growing medical debt that THEY made me accrue. Countless MRIs, CAT scans, and x-rays (each time I brought in medical docs and imagery that they requested they denied it and had me find another specialist for different docs) From what I was told by legal team, they do this when their client is 100% dead to rights liable for everything. When we finally did get in the same room, they treated me like a child. They refused to pull the driver's phone records and denied my bodily injury claim because there was no blood. They didn't take me seriously at all, instead they acted like a typical insecure man with a bruised ego. All I initially requested was for them to pay the ER bills and other medical debt, which started around 40k and grew over 180k after all the additional visits. I also asked for a new vehicle ( I didn't ask for the loss of my totaled vehicle as I was taking the honest route and utilized my gap insurance-which ended in a class action against Wells Fargo) and lastly a feasible settlement to cover the 6 weeks I lost following the wreck, the debt I accrued from reset court dates, and a negotiable amount for the future rehab and doctor visits for my lifelong injuries, until I could manage on my own. They said no, we'll give you 14k. Mind you, me and the other driver had full coverage and our min liability was 60+k. I demanded a grand jury. If anyone with at least one brain cell looked the case, they'd rule in my favor. The next time we met, they told me they spoke to the prosecutor (or whoever) and the deal was that since I demanded a grand jury they had the option to offer their minimum payout which voided my right to a trial. After about an hour of talking to brick walls in suits, they made me sign the agreement for 20~k. Luckily my lawyer reduced her fee, so I left with 18k. I was never able to pay my medical debt. I still can't afford physical therapy, doctor visits, or insurance. I used the money sparingly to keep my head over water... Then 2020 happened. I was not allowed to work, and I didn't make enough to qualify for govt compensation because of how little I made in the previous years due to battling Allstate. I'm currently working with a credit team to help reduce the 17k of debt I have. I'm only 32, the only support I have is my wife, who unfortunately has to watch me suffer through daily pain and can't do a thing about it. Allstate could have handled this with at least one modicum of morality, humanity, or logic, but instead chose to turn a 25-year-old into a broken old man. I also suffer from depression and manic bipolarism which has spiked since the accident. They took so much from me. I was a victim of an irresponsible driver, backed by a greedy company who belittled me, unnecessarily attacked me, and left me feeling stripped of my rights and freedoms. The only peace I get is knowing that the soulless people who were involved in my case will eventually get their karma. I know this review won't make any difference, but I hope that more people like me with step up and share their story. Also, next time you get in a wreck, make sure you bloody yourself up real good, or it doesn't matter.
