The backlash could have industrywide ramifications. “Governor Pritzker looks forward to reviewing any proposals that will further clarify and strengthen the administration’s authority to strengthen consumer protections,” Pritzker spokesman Jordan Abudayyeh says in an email. The department currently has little to no authority over prices-creating one of the most industry-friendly environments in the country. In addition, bills authorizing regulators in Illinois to deny rate hikes are expected to be on the table. The hope is to shame the industry into moderating price increases. Other large states-even Allstate’s home state of Illinois, the ninth-largest auto insurance market in the U.S.-are acting or poised to respond legislatively to outsize rate increases, principally by Allstate but also Geico and other big car insurers.Ĭonsumer advocates and insurance industry lobbyists expect the Illinois General Assembly next year to consider empowering the state Department of Insurance to force auto insurers to disclose their profits and losses from insuring Illinois drivers. And for anyone who reads this, I'm fully aware that Mercury and Strikecheck are two different entities.The release issued last August goes on to say: “This latest increase means Allstate has now bypassed our office to raise overall rates in Georgia by 40% in this calendar year alone,” and warns that “I have begun conversations with our legislative leaders regarding changes to state law to give our office additional authorities to protect consumers from these types of inexcusable actions.” Oh.so I guess that was my fault?!? Feels like a classic case of insurance fraud.Ĭollect their customers premiums, provide asinine excuses why coverage is denied, and then make you feel like it was your fault to begin with. Then I'm told by the Mercury claims adjustor that she advised me I could have hired my own local service to complete the diagnostics. So.I guess my house was hit with a power surge that killed the dishwasher, but only half-killed the washing machine and that was determined through 2 pictures.
Not to mention, the washing machine still turns on and technically can operate essentially at 50% efficiency. IMPOSSIBLE to determine that from a photograph. Mercury calls this morning and says that coverage is denied because of a power surge. Mercury guarantees repairs for as long as you own your vehicle as long as the work is done at one of its approved shops.
