On June 23, I was riding my bicycle home from work when I was struck and run down by the driver of a car. The driver was cited for reckless driving. I contacted a claims rep for Allstate Insurance Company named Marguerite at 907-269-6181. I informed her that all I wanted was for my medical bills to be paid, and that I was trying to do the right thing and not cause trouble for anybody. This representative told me, the first time I talked with her, that I had an attitude. She then asked a lot of personal and medical questions and demanded that I make a recorded statement.
Allstate has refused to pay any medical bills and has forced me to hire a lawyer to protect my rights. This is all over little more than $1000 in medical bills. I am not asking for compensation for lost work or any damages to my $2000 bicycle. It has been over 2 years, and Allstate is still refusing to pay for my injuries. They are treating me as little better than you would treat a dog you ran down in the street.
Is this how Allstate treats all pro bicyclists, or is this an isolated incident here in Alaska with their claims rep Marguerite at 907-269-6181?
