Honest from the first call: they told me my claim was small and helped me settle it quickly instead of dragging it out.
✓ Phone verified · Moderator approvedAfter my rear-end crash the insurer offered almost nothing. The firm took over every call and the final settlement covered my medical bills and lost wages.
✓ Phone verified · Moderator approvedUber accident with three insurance companies involved. They sorted out whose policy applied and handled everything.
✓ Phone verified · Moderator approvedThey came to the hospital for the first meeting since I couldn’t drive. Very kind and patient staff.
