Can I sue progressive insurance and thier underwriters for slander and libel for falsely stating that I had an at fault accident on my clue report?

Answered 8 years and 5 months ago by attorney Mark Tischhauser, Esq. | 1 Answer | Legal Topics: Libel, Slander And Defamation

" I spoke to progressive customer service and she stated that it was a common practice of progressive underwriters to falsely report information on clue reports to agents in order to charge higher rates and premiums"..........Unless you actually have that in writing, get an affidavit fro mthe CS rep, or a lawful recording no one will ever believe that story true or not. That stated, getting a lawyer to take such an issue on a contingent fee absent that will be unlikely. You may have to pay a lawyer to pursue such a case at the outset and possibly convert to a contingent fee if there is evidence to support your claim. ... Read More
