A close friend died in a glider accident. His widow asked that I call the
adjuster since they were threatening to deny the claim because she didn't
know the weather at the time of the accident. She wasn't even there. I
spoke with some guy in NYC that sounded like he was saying with a straight
face, that unless he had exact weather information at the time of the
accident that he would deny the claim. I took his name, asked for his
supervisors name, told him that there were no less than a dozen ways that
he
could have found that out without hassling the widow and told him what a
slimy piece of low lifeform he was then let him know that if it took every
last cent that I had I intended to make his life miserable and that I
would
let everyone know that had the same insurance how this grieving widow was
treated. They paid up the next week.

That may well be the difference between insuring directly with the
underwriter or through an independent agency, advocacy. When you insure
directly with the underwriter, those agents are company advocates and are
representing the best interests of the company's bottom line. An
independent agent generally should perform as the insured's advocate.

Choose wisely.
