Allstate is known for dragging their feet.

I had a problem like that with AAA. Took them 3 months to get in contact with their insuree and then the guy denied that we ever got in an accident and they sided with him. Was not happy about that one. When I got rear ended, Geico handed me a check within 2 weeks.Good luck man.

I had insurance with state farm and when i was in my accident...they got me a check within the week. I was not expecting that!! I agree that you should call them all the time till it's fixed! It's not that they can't do it....their just slow

I know the feeling I had a girl hit my mustang 2 years ago 2 days before halloween and she her company never paid me for the damages and I have it done myself and sent them the bill. I only just 4 months ago got a check for the $1,200 it cost me.

probably something that you dont want to post publicly. you should know that drinking and driving is a crime and your lucky you didnt kill anyone or yourself for that matter.

haha, I like how everyone else's stories were getting hit by someone and he talks about running his car into some truck drunk. Brilliant. State Farm FTW by the way. That's who I have. Just keep calling their insurance every day.

ha ha yeah i know. i had to fight with them for a week because they where not going to put ford OEM parts back on the car, they where going to be cheap to save them money, when i heard that they got a call from my lawyer and stuff started to change and the seemed to move alot faster on getting the car fix.

aren't you like 17 or 18... driving drunk when your 3+ years from legally being able to drink... smooth. Something really to be proud of
