Rob,
No argument here, they did the expedient thing by their client but they
didn't do the right thing. As far as small claims court, I don't remember if
they had them 36 years ago. :-) I was 20 and couldn't afford to peruse they
matter due to lost time at work. They knew it would cost me more than I
would get, so to save a small amount to them, they cost me a large amount
for me at the time. Yes they broke no laws but IMHO they were morally wrong.
I believe it's a policy that you unfortunately see far too much of today,
Too many people want to do just enough to get by than do as much as they
can. Perhaps it greed.

Paul, if you were the Allstate insured, who actually had a contract with
them (you didn't in this case), I'd say they did just fine by you, their
client. They are supposed to defend the insured from litigation &
damages... and they can settle in lieu of suit. It worked against you!
All
you had to do was go to small claims court.

The problem I'm having now with my insurance company is that I'm losing
confidence in their abilty to defend... they are too often too quick to
settle. I'm shopping...

Rob
