If you don’t happen to subscribe to Glenn Beck’s “The Blaze” newsletter or Web site (GBTV, etc.)....you may not have heard the WORST Progressive story. They actually had one of their lawyers defending a driver....who ran a red light and killed a young woman; a Progressive customer.

All in an attempt to avoid paying on her policy. I s**t you not. Go read about it....it will make your blood boil.

From this great article on Medaite , also screenshots of Progressive's tweets before they were scrubbed:

Basically, Progressive is saying that Matt Fisher’s facts are wrong and that they sent no attorney. He then responded with another blog post, doubling down and giving the name of Progressive attorney he remembers being there.

I guess that’s the end of it, right? It’s now Matt’s word against theirs. Done.

Or, at least, it would be. If this weren’t 2012 and the Fisher family didn’t have the entirety of the Internet on their side. Within an hour of Progressive posting that statement, Internet sleuths went and found the original court records from the trial. And, sure enough…

The story is a bit disingenuous. Every insurance company acting on behalf of uninsured or underinsured coverage steps in as the “other” insurance company. That's the way it works. You are now suing your own insurance company, just like you'd sue the other company, because the other driver doesn't carry enough coverage. They're then going to act just like you were not their insured. The company is in it to make money and keep from spending any more money than they have to in order to settle a claim. As a former claims manager I know how it sucks to have to handle something like this, especially when it's a fatality. The thing is, it's still a business just like a bank, bakery, drug store, etc, etc. The idea behind a business is to make money for the stock holders not be everybody’s friend. I do find it hard to believe that they'd even blink at $75k for a fatality though. My guess is there's more to the story than just the brother's version of it.

I have heard Glenn Beck discuss this tragic case yesterday and today. I immediately called my sister who is a Progressive client and told her about this situation. Bill O. had a segment about Progressive and its founder a few years back. They appear to be homo, drug and Lib friendly.
