Default insurance companies & claims: allstate, usaa, etc, etc

My wife tells me that if we ever have a claim,
it will be almost impossible to get paid ok.

Now, for the last 38 yrs I've been getting insurance from USAA,
starting during my 2-yrs in the army.

So I say, yes, that's what I hear too, but USAA is supposed
to be different, they trust you, pay without problem.

(My step mother, way back when, worked there, in the
claims dept, and they themselves called that
department (among themselves) the "gift shop"!)

She says dream on, just wait and see.


QUESTION: are *all* the insurance companies horrible,
or are there some that are better than others?

And does USAA actually stand out above the rest?


(Or was that long long ago, not in these days
of immense CEO-greed, of "charge the most for
whatever your product, and provide as small a benefit
as possible"?)


Should be an interesting thread!


Thanks!

Guess you just want to poke a stick into something. USAA is a model for
the industry,
IMHO. And you can DAGS on reviews, like by Consumers' Union. And hear
the same.

How is that interesting? If you have the option, you definitely want
USAA to be your insuror. Seems a no-brainer to me. Only in NJ are they
sand-bagged with auto insurance for the huge assigned-risk pool there.
