Travelers Glass Claims

Travelers is the largest insurance company by value in the United States. The company sells various forms of insurance, including car insurance. Travelers has become such a major player that it is now one of the select stocks on the Dow Jones Industrial Average. It seems like Travelers writes every kind of insurance, both imaginable and unimaginable.

However, in the Maryland auto insurance market, Travelers Insurance is less of a major player. It ranks 20th, 31st and 54th on Maryland's ranking of market share for passenger cars and trucks. It holds three spots, because there are so many related companies in its family of insurance companies.

Our attorneys find it hard to make blanket generalizations dealing with Travelers in regards to settlement. It really depends on the individual adjuster. Auto accident claims with Travelers seem to vary more from claims adjuster to claims adjuster. Some Travelers adjusters are eager to try to settle accident claims for what the value of the case would be at trial. Other adjusters are more difficult and our attorneys invariably expect these cases will require a lawsuit, and maybe a trial, to get the client the money they deserve for their injuries.

Still, this company is more reasonable on auto tort cases than most insurance companies. However, if you have a claim against Travelers, keep in mind one sobering fact before you get too excited: Travelers is an insurance company. Therefore, their goal is to pay you either nothing or as little as possible.

When we are talking about comparing insurance companies, it is all relative. They are one of the nicer tigers at the zoo. But they may still eat you. Insurance companies sometimes require pressure to look hard and realistically at the situation. The value of many of these claims often rise dramatically as the courthouse steps get closer. In this sense, it is every other insurance company.
