Took him 300+ feet to stop and when he did, the back of my bike was imbedded in the
front of his station wagon.
.
10 days in the hospital. 2 months out of work. 7 months in a full-leg cast.

About a week into my hospital stay, I had to call my Allstate agent for an update. He
hadn't done a thing about it and suggested that I call the other guy's insurance agent.
.
Never considered Allstate again... but to make matters much worse, when I DID apply
to some other company for car insurance later on, I was extremely fortunate that my
new agent figured out how this Allstate guy almost screwed me bigtime.
.
I had just a motorcycle, so he had been having trouble getting me insurance. To make
it possible, without telling me, he put me on a "high-risk" policy (though I had never
had a ticket or an accident prior to that -- it was the only way he could insure me
through his company).
.
Luckily, the new agent knew what had happened (I was still clueless as to what had
been going on.) The Allstate agent gave me a record of a "high-risk" driver JUST to
get what had to be a pretty small commission from my policy.
.

Thank goodness for that second agent -- knowledgable and helpful and ethical.
