2 Vehicles Totaled in Flood
StarStarStarStarStarBy -
Rating: 5/51

BIRMINGHAM, ALABAMA -- Flash floods in Birmingham, AL were unprecedented and hit at 2 am with no ability to "see it coming" - and we had 2 cars that were TOTALED as a result. I called Travelers and the claims adjuster in Atlanta was aware of the flooding in AL, was very sympathetic and consolidated the 2 vehicle claims to be reviewed by one adjuster to expedite the process. The claims adjuster, **, promptly arrived, was extremely thorough and extremely kind during this very stressful time.

She didn't mind us calling her afterwards to ask questions - since we were not thinking very clearly at the time. The claims were entered, adjusted, processed and paid within one week! That was so wonderful since we need the funds to buy replacement vehicles right away. Outstanding customer service! So glad I had Travelers Insurance!

Travelers Is An Insurance Company That Values Its Policyholders

P.O. B. 10891, CHANTILLY, 20153, VIRGINIA -- Initially when I filed my claim with Travelers there was a slight disconnect concerning which claims adjuster was assigned to my claim. However, within a day or so it was resolved, and my claim was assigned to a claim representative for the VA-DC Service Center Claim Services, whom after working with her as closely as I have, I believe that she is the best, effective, most efficient, and detail oriented Claim Representatives in the VA-DC Service Center.

Although, she stayed focused on the job at hand, she was extremely compassionate with respect to both my loss and the emotional trauma of my loss, as well as the impending ordeal that from her experience she felt as a single woman, 70 years old, living alone and suffering from PRM/RA that I might encounter. Although, her objective was to process my claim with urgency, she was extremely patient with me. She kept me informed of everything step by step, and assured that I understood what each phase of the process was, and continued to make herself available either in person, by phone, or by email to assure that any and every question that I posed was answered.

But, I had to draw the line when she advised that she would be on vacation and offered to check her Email for any follow-ups I may have had. I insisted that she works hard enough on Travelers time, that I would not allow her to keep that option open to me in that short window that she had for herself to relax.

Subsequently, I unfortunately had a very unsettling experience and was outraged with the poor quality of service that I received from one of their vendors: EVANS Garment and Restoration Mid-Atlantic, who destroyed more than $8,000 worth of my property and marked many of them UNACCEPTABLE so I would have had to pass the loss on to Travelers to pay for garments that they damaged and/or destroyed in their MD Plant.

However, although it was outside of the scope to Travelers responsibility to my claim, with the support and guidance from her manager, in an effort to resolve this arduous dispute, and make me whole, she set-up several meetings with the EVANS Garment and Restoration, VP, which ultimately proved in the end to be of no avail, and my Claim Representative's manager informed me that Travelers values its policyholders and would make every effort to make me whole and offered and agreed to reimburse my loss, and pursue reimbursement from EVANS at their own expense, as well as use the detailed evidence and oversight that I provided to make the necessary internal recommendations within the Travelers chain-of-command to assure that.

Henceforth Travelers Policyholders will not be subjected to the level of gross damage, negligence and mishandling of a claim by a vendor that I suffered from EVANS Garment and Restoration -- whom as an aside represents itself as an ISO 9001 certified company with superior quality management processes. Notwithstanding, none of which at any level of EVANS operations measured up to the performance or administrative management of what I later discovered are used and practiced by older more established, and family owned and operated garment restoration companies in the industry.

Insurance Agent has Claims Nightmare
By -

I am an insurance agent for many years. I had my automobile and home insured with Travelers and being in the industry, my coverage was quite adequate. Approx. a year ago I was involved in a 4 car chain collision, I was in the middle car between two very large SUVs'. My car was totaled and I was taken by ambulance to the ER of the local hospital. I was diagnosed with a sprained lumbar and whiplash. Given medication. I needed PT and to this date I am still in pain and discomfort, which is quite upsetting to me at times.

From the beginning, the claim was handled horrifically. Since I am knowledgeable with coverage, more than the average layman being in the business, the first thing was I knew I was paying additional premium for Rental coverage. Since Travelers has an " agreement " with Enterprise Auto, I was first given an Economy Car to use. I inquired to them and was told this is the type car they are told by Travelers to give their clients for rental. I knew I was paying in premium for at least a mid size car for rental and had to "insist on it with the first adjuster''. They finally did agree and I had the remaining time with my midsize car for use.

So basically, our clients that we sell the policies to are paying extra for the better rental and if involved in an accident they are not given the proper car type unless the insured insist. This was just the beginning. Most importantly, my PIP was totally mishandled. I was in PT, seeing my doctor for chronic back pain and on medication and almost three times a week, this PIP adjuster would call me on my cell and question me regarding my condition which is very unprofessional... to the point of being a nuisance.

In the midst of my treatment and unbeknownst to me, she decides to “close “the pip file since she claims. I was feeling better. When my doctor, specialist and MRI and x-ray bills had been sent to Travelers, they were not going to pay, since the file had been "closed". I had $100,000 on medical and full tort coverage and at this point all Travelers had paid was about $3,000 in med bills.

After, phone calls to supervisors, management, faxes, letter, most of the bills are finally getting paid but Travelers refuses to allow me to continue to go to PT since they feel my injury should be healed by now. I wish they were right, but unfortunately, I am still suffering with pain and are taking meds to help me go through my day. This whole experience was and has been a nightmare for me. I just feel that they were doing all they could knowing I had excellent coverage and wanted to cut it off as soon as possible.

AS far as anything I agreed with on the handling of the claim was only how quick they settled and paying me for my car which was less than two weeks from the date of the accident. But in doing so, I was told I had to return the rental within 24 hrs... how could I... I did not have a car to drive and since I was injured, was unable to go out and buy one. Once again, I called and explained I had rental for 30 days and needed this time to go out and purchase a car. They did agree with this and gave me I believe a week more... but once again the average Joe would not have known this... I was very very disappointed with this whole handling of this claim... and would not recommend this company based on my experience with them.

Lack of CUSTOMER SERVICE!!!
By -

ENGLEWOOD, COLORADO -- I was involved in an auto accident with a travelers insured person on 8-5-09. The accident was the other drivers fault and the other driver fully admitted that to the police department as well as the insurance company. I received a call from the first agent within a couple of hours of the accident and he set up my rental car and got the investigator set up to look at my vehicle. I received call from the investigator the next day and was told that my vehicle was going to be considered a "total loss". The next call I got was from the "total loss agent", this is where the problems begin.

The dollar amount they gave me was what I considered to be low, I told her this and what I had found for average prices for my vehicle as well as what NADA showed. I then put together a counter offer letter along with dates and amount of improvements made to the vehicle. This was faxed to them on a Sunday so I left a voice mail for the "total loss agent" letting her know that I had faxed this over to her and to get back with me. I did not get a call back at all on Monday, I did not get a call on Tuesday from her either. I did speak with the first agent on Tuesday and he emailed her and had her contact me.

I was told that I needed to fax over receipts for the improvements made to the vehicle. My wife faxed these over and contacted the agent to let her know that they had been faxed, this was on a Thursday. I ended up calling on Friday to follow up and again had to leave a v/m at 10:30 A.M. I did not get a call back! I called again on Monday and she actually answered the phone, she said she did not get the fax! We had also faxed over to another agent info for lost wages, he did get his fax? We faxed over the documentation to her AGAIN, this time she got it. They came back with a new number that we agreed with.

I hand delivered the signed title for my vehicle to their office on Wednesday the 19th at 7:30 A.M. and was told that she was going to process the check request as soon as she went back to her desk. I spoke with the other agent regarding lost wages the next day at 4:30 P.M. and was told he was going to process the request for my check for lost wages. I got that check in the mail on Monday the 24th, I still have not got the check for the car. I called the loss agent on Tuesday the 25th after getting home and checking the mail and not finding a check. She still has not called back.

I got a letter from her dated the 23rd which was a Sunday so I doubt very seriously that she was in the office on a Sunday. The postmark shows the 25th so she had been sitting on this for almost a week! I have now sent an email to the company comment/complaint email address, this was done this morning. I should not be shocked by this but I have not heard anything from the corporate office either. If this is the kind of customer service they display from not only the local office but from corporate as well I truly feel sorry for their paying customers!

Travelers Insurance Is The Worst For Homeowners
StarEmpty StarEmpty StarEmpty StarEmpty StarBy -
Rating: 1/51

MINNESOTA -- Travelers insurance is the most horrible company to deal with. The true measure of a great insurance company isn't how you are treated under normal circumstances but how you are treated when there is a problem. Travelers fails horribly in this respect. I was misinformed and misled as to how my claim would work out when a driver lost control of his car and drove into my garage causing damage to the garage and many things inside the garage. Including a car, motorcycle, and personal property being stored in garage. The car and motorcycle were settled through the car owners company (allstate) without any problems.

I was led (more like misled) to believe that if I went through travelers insurance (my homeowners company), for the personal property part, instead of the car owners insurance company that I would benefit from the replacement cost part of my policy and that travelers would in turn get all of the cost of the claim from the car owners insurance company. With no effect on my renewal rates for going through travelers. Everything went fine at first. Repairs were done. I replaced some of the property (not all). I even received a letter stating that travelers had recovered 100 percent of the claim from the car owners company.

Apparently to travelers 100 percent has a different meaning than to the average person. Because, when I got my renewal notice my annual rate had increased 59 percent. I come to find out travelers is holding me accountable for the replacement cost part of my insurance coverage as they didn't get that portion from the car owners company. It was never told to me that this would happen. So for right around $2000 dollars that travelers didn't recover from the car owners company they were going to raise my rates by almost $600 dollars per year for the next 3 years. I would never have gone through travelers with this claim had I not been misled by them.

Taking the increased rate into account I would have been way better off filing the claim through the car owners company. First off I didn't replace all of my personal property. So I didn't use the full claim. If I would have gone through the car owners insurance company I would have received cash value not replacement cost. But in the long run I would have fared better financially. I would have received only actual cash value but I wouldn't be being asked to pay $1800 dollars over the next 3 years. This amount almost covers the part travelers is holding me accountable for.

Further the last person I spoke to trying to work something out with was a very unprofessional and rude guy to talk to. Also, when I was getting quotes from other insurance companies (I refuse to pay travelers their scam money) all of them were surprised this was handled like this by travelers. One company went so far as to waive the fact that I now had a claim on my record. I am no longer with travelers insurance and don't recommend them for anyone. Avoid travelers insurance they are not customer friendly when you really need them and they won't give you the proper initial information so you can make an informed decision.

CHEEKTOWAGA, NEW YORK -- Filing a claim was a cinch! It took me less than 10 minutes to file the claim using the app! I received an email the following day along with a phone call from my adjuster. We made arrangements for an appointment, the adjuster showed up as promised, and on time! Once the inspection was complete he immediately emailed me and called me to notify me of the findings. Payment was prompt. I am a loyal Travelers homeowners and auto policy holder and I would recommend them to all of my friends and family.

COLORADO -- I had 2 different accidents within a 2 month period and both were my fault so it was a little embarrassing for me to have to file 2 separate claims with Travelers in such a short amount of time but they were really understanding and helpful and wasted no time in processing my claims and sending me a check for damages to my truck.
