What to Expect in a Bodily Injury Settlement With Progressive Insurance
Insurance companies like Progressive handle millions of accident claims every year, and for many injury victims, they become the main point of contact after a crash. While these companies present themselves as straightforward to deal with, the settlement process is often more complex than it appears on the surface. In this article, we’ll walk through …
You Should Expect Progressive to Undervalue Your Claim
Progressive, like every other insurance company, is a for-profit corporation. The claims adjusters have incentives to settle claims for less than they are worth. Selling claims short makes the company money.
You need to put yourself in a very strong negotiating position right from the start. Since the insurance industry follows a manual that lists the value of a claim, they will closely adhere to the script, so to speak. You must have the evidence to convince them to deviate from their guidelines.
Be diligent about collecting all of the police reports, medical records, and bills generated from your crash. Also, take photos of your car, the other driver’s car, the scene of the auto accident, and your injuries. A claims adjuster will know that going to trial may lose the company more money, which in turn can cause them to increase their settlement offer if you are well prepared when negotiating.
You Should Expect Progressive to Offer You A Small, Quick Settlement
If you’ve been in a Denver auto accident, Progressive might send an adjuster out to see you if you suffered injuries from the car crash. If you file a claim against a person insured by Progressive, the company will assign a claims adjuster to evaluate the insured and company’s liability to you.
Depending on the situation, the claims adjuster might give you a quick settlement for your trouble shortly after the car accident. Offering a quick settlement puts money in a person’s pocket a few days after the accident. Progressive might also include an agreement to repair your damaged car and cover your medical bills for the 30 days immediately after your auto accident, along with a small amount of money for other damages.
Do I Need a Lawyer?
A quick and easy settlement sounds like a good deal on the surface. If you only have a few bumps and bruises, then it is great. The problem arises when those bumps and bruises are actually more serious injuries. What if you accept the quick settlement, but what you thought were bumps turn out to be nerve damage or a severe sprain? You are stuck.
Taking a settlement offer and signing a release means that you cannot file another claim against the driver Progressive insured. A release is a contract, and its terms may be enforced in court. Therefore, you should not sign a release without having an experienced Denver personal injury attorney review it first.
In fact, the best option might be to reject the quick settlement offer and wait until you are certain that you do not have long lasting injuries and all of your medical treatment is complete before you negotiate in earnest.

Common Causes of Gas Explosions: What You Need to Know
Natural gas powers millions of homes and businesses every day, fueling everything from stoves and water heaters to furnaces and outdoor grills. But when a gas leak goes undetected and meets a spark, flame, or other ignition source, the result can be a devastating explosion. Faulty gas lines, defective appliances, poor ventilation, and improper installation …
What Causes Gas Explosions?
Often, during the coldest seasons of the year, we hear of gas explosions where an entire family is killed as a result of a faulty gas heater or leak in the gas lines. Recently, we have heard of troubling situations where the gas lines coming to and from a home simply wear out or rust, allowing gas to escape.
Any type of fire, flame, or even a spark can set off accumulated pockets of gas. In September 2010, a natural gas pipeline explosion in a San Francisco suburb ignited a massive fire that killed 4, injured dozens more, and leveled 37 homes. Several residents in this neighborhood had reported the smell of gas weeks before the explosion, but according to reports, the natural gas utility that owned the pipeline never responded to the calls for help. The explosion was investigated and believed to have occurred due to worn-out couplings and pipelines along the street. Below are a few of the major causes of gas explosion:
- Improper use of gas furnace, stove, or appliance, including leaking due to gas lines being hooked up incorrectly
- Old, worn-out, rusty gas lines coming from the street into your home
- Defective equipment, including gas grills, acetylene torches, and other equipment that uses gas as a power or fuel source
- Violations of codes and standards governing the safe handling of gas or propane
- Faulty manufacturing procedures used in building gas tanks for automobiles
A number of shocking cases have occurred where auto manufacturers have utilized sub-standard products when installing gas tanks in certain automobiles and trucks. Many of these cases have resulted in the gas tank exploding during a minor auto accident. Tragic events like gas explosions can leave families devastated. Family members who do survive may require a lifetime of medical care, medications, and procedures.
