Comments "A huge old tree fell on my house & smashed the second floor through the first. The settlement was for $50K, not totaled as my contractor & the structural engineer THEY hired stated based on repairs & code upgrades. The large claims adjuster actually went to city planning department, filed for an emergency repairs permit in my name, signed his name under my name & the contractors' printed name without our knowledge, never told us, & disappeared. So a month later, Country called & asked how repairs were going?! We were still waiting to hear what was going on. I got a loan for an additional $150K to cover the repairs & am now consulting lawyers." 2008-11-12 18:38:03 EST
"Claims was very helpful and worked with my body shop to get the car fixed in less than a week. Thanks to my agent I had the coverages I needed, to take care of my medical bills" 2008-11-06 10:56:43 EST
"Country Insurance has used every stall tactic in the book to not pay my claim. This all started with my basement flooding due to a sump pump failure. They suggested that I have a co. come out and do a clean up they provided this guy he was at my house the next morning, great service guess again this guy charged 2100.00 to clean carpet that cost me 1200.00 to have installed new. I wonder how much of a kickback the adjuster got for that? Then there is the damage to the outside of the house from hail and high winds. When they realized that they would have to replace all of it because it is no longer in production they then tried to claim I did not have the work done from a previous claim after I supplied them with the paid receipt. Country Insurance has doubled my rates in the last 4 years now they are playing games when it is time to pay. Do yourself a favor and go elsewhere." 2008-11-03 13:43:59 EST
"The extra you pay in commissions are not worth it!
There were extenuating circumstances that prompted me to go shopping and not renew with Country Insurance.
Went with another provider and increased my coverage along with saving roughly 40% on auto and 10% on home.
