I have been a home owner for a number of years. I have always had Allstate for my insurance. In the past I've had problems.. for instance.. my mortgage company telling me that I have no fire insurance for my home. I had to call my Allstate agent several times to have him fix this...It took months. My mortgage payment went up because they added the insurance for me... My insurance agent assured me that I indeed had coverage, but there was a mistake. A couple years later, I received a letter from Allstate telling me that I had a little bit of moss on one side of my roof and I had to get it off or my insurance will be cancelled. I looked around, I think everyone has a little bit in my neighbor hood of large trees, but okay, I fixed it. That wasn't so bad, but they hardly gave me the time to do it before they were going to pull the plug on my coverage... Okay but this broke the camels back...I bought a home with a hot tub area that is in need of repair. There is a wood deck around it that is in need of being replaced. Allstate gives me a letter telling me that my coverage will be canceled in a month if this is not addressed. Well, okay.. since I can't afford to totally re build my decd in the next couple of weeks, I had my husband buy several sheets of plywood and cover it all up so that if someone was to walk on it, it would be okay. Took photos and sent it in to the company. Today I get a letter and a refund for my insurance. They said sorry, the only way we can cover you is if you totally build a new patio... Are they going to pay for me to do this? I mean get real, I can't just go to home depot and buy all the material, decking etc.. tear it all down, dispose of all the old material, and old hot tub... possibly pay someone to do some of the work.. and all within a few weeks. I'd have to get a loan to do this. I am currently shopping for new insurance... Beware, if you have Allstate and you have something that needs attention, you better have deep pockets and time to set aside because they will expect it done on the spot. Good bye Allstate

Our house was flooded by Katrina. We also are in the oil spill area from Murphy Oil . We were told that because of the oil pollution we could not move back into our home. The insurance payment was due, so I called and cancelled since we would have to demolish the house. As soon as we found out that the area could be repopulated, we called Allstate and asked to be reinstated and they refused our request. No other insurance will write a new policy. We cannot get the money approved by the SBA because the house is not insured! I also had issues with them over the replacement of a privacy fence. One section was blown down by wind, and other sections were knocked down by the flooding. Allstate would only cover one small section. We finally just gave up. When you have been through so much trauma and so much heartache, you just do not have the stamina to continuously have to fight insurance agencies. We have found out just how much we were in good hands.

To J French...I've been in the ins biz for 25 yrs. Your case may or may not have validity. No body will question your injury or your med bills. The question is what did your landlord do to cause that injury. You say you were working...for who? What about workers comp, assuming you were employed? And don't you have med insurance too? Simply falling on someone's property does not legally obligate them to pay you. If they did something to CAUSE the accident, well, then you have a case. Please be specific...

I fell 10' from my ladder onto a steel fan sitting on a tile floor. Comp fracture to l-1 tore l-3,4&5 of my spine. This happen while I was working on my landlord's property. I told her; she offered no assistance until a year later, when she gave me the insurance co name, Allstate. My first taped interview set me up as the fall guy and I was the problem. I fell on Allstate client's property. Am I not entitled to some assistance with my medical bills, loss wages and education funds? I have suffered greatly and am awaiting surgery. My landlord is harassing me attempting to evict me and I have my rent paid thru Jan 1st 2007. Please help me fight the good fight. Sincerely, James French.
