Allstate is one of the world’s largest and most popular insurance providers in the nation.
Founded over 90 years ago, it’s also one of the most trusted.
But believe it or not, after an auto accident, you’re not always in good hands.
Studies have shown that the insurance giant ranks number one for putting profits over policyholders, dubbing it the Worst Insurance Company in America.
So, when you’ve been injured and have an Allstate claim, how can you ensure you don’t get the short end of the stick?
At Springs Law Group, we’ve put together a guide to walk you through the Allstate claims process and how you can get help.
Here’s everything you should know.
Whether you’re filing a first or third-party injury claim after your accident, Allstate makes it pretty easy to do so.
But the following process is where many people get tripped up and lose thousands of dollars.
But if you know what to look for, you can save yourself the trouble.
If you’re dealing with an Allstate injury claim, here’s what to expect:
When there’s money on the line, the insurance company will try to back you into a corner.
They want you to feel like you have limited options.
They know you’re injured, you have medical bills, and you might be strapped for cash.
They’ll prey on that and offer a quick and unjust settlement.
But you’re not going to give them the satisfaction.
Instead, you’re going to protect your rights and play the insurance game to get the most money from your settlement.
Let’s look at ways you can protect your right to compensation.
The clock starts ticking on your insurance claim as soon as you’re hit and hurt.
Once the insurance company gets wind of your accident, they will want to settle quickly and below budget.
Here’s how you can protect your rights to compensation:
The insurance company is banking on the fact that you don’t know what you’re doing.
Prove them wrong — get a Colorado Springs personal injury lawyer involved from the start.
Allstate is an insurance giant, bringing in billions in revenue every year.
To keep that revenue, they take as much as possible from customers and pay as little as possible out on claims.
And they have a whole team of insurance adjusters whose whole purpose is doing this.
To them, you’re just another claim number, and you can expect them to treat you like one — using every trick in the book to pay you pennies on the dollar.
This is just the insurance game; it’s been that way long before your claim came along and will be that way for years to come.
The best way you can protect yourself is by consulting a personal injury lawyer who knows what they’re doing.
At Springs Law Group, we know how to negotiate with adjusters and medical providers on your behalf to get maximum compensation and keep more money in your pocket.
Because when someone else’s negligence has injured you, we know that a little bit can go a long way.

Insurance claims can be a pain.
You’re already dealing with an injury, and now the insurance company is trying to play you — trying to make you feel like you’re crazy and like you don’t deserve the compensation you’re asking for.
And if you don’t know what you’re doing, they might succeed.
But we’re here to help.
At Springs Law Group, we’ll make sure you don’t get taken advantage of.
We’ll go toe to toe with the insurance company to get you the maximum compensation so you walk away better than we found you.
Whether it’s a car accident, slip and fall, or another injury case, we can help.
Book your free consultation today to find out how we can help you.
If Allstate refuses to pay your claim in bad faith, you have the right to appeal the decision.
The second time around, you should consider hiring a personal injury lawyer to represent you.
They can investigate your claim, compile evidence and take over communications with the insurance company.
That all depends on how badly you were injured, the cost of your medical care, and other details of your accident.
But although accident settlements vary, you can expect our accident attorneys to always go to bat for you with the insurance company to get you the maximum compensation for your claim.
Allstate can take a few weeks to a few years to settle an injury claim.
This depends on the complexity of your claim, how long it takes you to recover from your injuries, and the insurance company’s processes.
A personal injury attorney can keep your claim on track, so you get compensated as soon as possible.

I was uneasy about reaching out to a law firm after being in an accident that left me injured and my vehicle totaled. I don’t care for the idea of suing for what was very clearly an accident. However, after learning more about the overall process of working with a professional team to navigate the murky waters of the insurance world, I was pleasantly surprised to find that the experience wasn’t as gross as I’d originally felt about it.
Springs Law is very friendly and professional. I always felt that they were on my side and cared about my injury and what I was going through. I highly recommend them.
Springs Law Group is an amazing group to work with! I got into a rough accident, and they never ceased to let me know they were there working hard to help me in my hour of need. It was always very easy to reach out to someone if I had any questions, and they were always happy to answer any questions I had.
I never have a problem with getting a response when I need them – which is not the case with most other firms. They really truly care about each client. As a plus, they always have positive attitudes, which matters tremendously when you are in a stressful legal situation.
Big thanks to Mr. Jake Kimbell and his team for their assistance with my case. He helped me through an incredibly challenging part of my life, and most importantly helped navigate through the convoluted legal channels of my case. I cannot thank him and his team enough for their support.
The entire team at Springs Law group has been nothing but amazing. Jake and the rest of the staff were great to work with and extremely professional. They were very attentive and answered any questions and concerns I had. I was always able to contact them and they were very responsive and communicated with me.
