I was in a car accident with their insuredCompletely his faultHe received a ticket and admitted he shouldn't have turned in front of me regardless of the circumstances (the car in front if him turned- he immediately followed without looking)A Miss Aneta *** told me that I was negligent (in no way was I)I am literally in the middle of a HIGH RISK pregnancy, was just in a car accident because of their insured, and this woman has the audacity to say that I was negligent when 1) I was in the proper lane (left forward lane on a four lane highway mind you) 2) I was driving the speed limit (even driving slower considering the mist and less sunlight (it was still 1:25pm and not dark) and 3) I knew there was cars in his turn lane (one being him) because I was watching the whole road/intersection4)If I weren't already at the beginning of the intersection I could understand him turning, but he didn't even look to know there was not time5) the only thing I could have done to prevent the accident would have been to swerve and guess what- I was taught not to! I was driving an SUV which states not to in two different places on the car and any driving course tells you not toThere is no way I should be having to go through this and I also shouldn't have an adjuster whom jumps the gun and says they are only going to cover this amount (no way), and HAS NOT EVEN DONE HER JOB FULLY YET to know whether or not they would, puts extra stress on someone (inconsiderate, rude, and unfair), and lies straight to someone (oh I'm not allowed to give my managers extension out- its *** so you know)Horrible, and I haven't received any kind of call back from the manager- MrCarlos *** I know and understand that you are a business but I don't believe this lady understands thatYou do not treat anyone regardless of your interaction with disrespect and that is all I got from this woman

Thank you for the opportunity to respond to this complaint.Our adjuster has contacted the complainant about issues he has had with his claimDue to a personnel change in our appraisal department, the adjuster was unaware that the vehicle had not yet been viewedOur adjuster apologized to the complainant and explained the situationHe is sending the estimate and photos of his vehicle directly so there will be no need to reassign an appraisalWe should have an offer expedited to the complainant within the next few days and hope to have the claim resolved within the week.Thank you,Nick ***

To this day I have NEVER been contacted by anyone from Lighthouse Casualty CompanyEvery time I contact them I get the same run-aroundI understand that they are unable to contact their insured but there is no timeframe or response on what happens if they cannot obtain the information they needAll I am asking for is status and next stepsI had a plan to sell my car, which obviously I am unable to do until my car is fixedMY insurance company would at least provide status on the claim and make contact with everyone involvedThat is called good customer servicePlease provide me with status so I can plan accordingly to sell my car

Thank you for the opportunity to respond to this complaint.While we can certainly understand the complainant's frustration, Lighthouse has a fiduciary duty to speak with our insured to get a complete view of what occurred at the time of the accidentAt this time, we still have not heard from our
insured, which could result in a denial of the claim due to breach of contractThe complainant does have an alternative and that is to contact their carrier and allow the carrier to subrogate Lighthouse for any money paidPer the IL Department of Insurance guidelines, Lighthouse has days to process the claim and we are well within this guidelineWe hope to hear from our insured and complete the claim in a more timely manner.Thank you,*** ***

Thank you for the opportunity to respond to this claim.This complainant was dissatisfied with her offer so we rebutted with an increased offerAgain, the settlement was deniedThey are looking for a 100% offer when Lighthouse feels our current offer is more than generousOur adjuster also
explained that the complainant is welcome to go through her own insurance company but her son is not covered by her policyIf she went through her own company, there would most likely be a difference in premium which could run costly so she will not pursue this route.At this time, we are working to resolve the claim but the complainant's son is threatening to follow legal avenues.Thank you,*** ***

Thank you for the opportunity to reply to this complaint.Per the adjuster's notes, the last contact with the complainant was 02/23/At this time, she refused to take her vehicle to the recommended body shop because she said the shop was gang infested and refused to go thereThe adjuster provided
her two additional local shops to utilize and the complainant said she will review those shops and call back with her decisionAs of today, 03/02/2016, we have not heard from the complainant with a decisionA further conversation with the adjuster's supervisor resulted in no voicemail messages from the complainant at allHe said had he received the message he would call back but nothing was received.The adjuster is contacting the complainant today to find out if she has decided on a shopPer the IL Department of Insurance, companies have a day guideline to utilize toward a resolutionHowever, if the parties involved do not cooperate this may extend the time to resolve the claim.Thank you,*** ***

Initial Business Response /* (1000, 5, 2015/04/10) */
Lighthouse Casualty would like to extend our sincerest apologies to Ms***; our actions were less than what she should have expected from her insurance companyWe experienced a change in staff and we missed the mark in processing
Ms***'s claim
Her new claims adjuster, *** *** has been in touch with her via phone and e-mail; even receiving paperwork as soon as this morningMr*** goal is to settle this claim within the next week
Lighthouse aims to ensure each one of our insureds receives the highest quality of service and this was an unfortunate circumstance to which we accept the fault
Again, our apologies to Ms***, we hope she is willing to move forward with resolution to this situation
Thank you,

Thank you for the opportunity to respond to this complaint.On behalf of Lighthouse Casualty, allow me to apologize for the lack of communication on our partLighthouse does not want any claim to fall behind and it seems we did just that this timePer the claim notes, I see an offer letter has been
issued and the complainant should receive it soon.Thank you again,*** ***

Thank you for the opportunity to reply to this complaintThe complainant has contacted Lighthouse Casualty numerous times over the past few weeks; each time it has been explained to her that we are in process of investigating the claimWhile we certainly understand that she would like a
resolution, it takes time to gather information especially when liability is not determined in a collisionI will ask the claims team to review the claim in light of new information in the file and contact the complainantPlease note, the IL Department of Insurance provides a guideline of days to resolve a claim for claimantsWhile Lighthouse looks to resolve the claim in a more timely manner, we are well within this guideline.Thank you,

answered the phone.We are waiting for the complainant to accept the offerThank you,

Thank you for the opportunity to respond to this complaint.From reviewing the file, I have surmised that Ms*** spoke with Lighthouse representatives on 1/5, then again on 1/She spoke with one representative on 1/to provide her info on the claimThen on 1/she spoke with the adjuster who
explained to her that since she turned the claim over to her carrier, we would have to wait until her carrier submits subrogationHe explained the rental process and stated that he is reviewing liabilityAlso, he explained that until liability is established, he could not approve anythingHe is attempting to order the police report, which at that time was unavailable but we will check again and he is awaiting the subrogationThe IL Department of Insurance provides a day guideline to resolve claims and I believe Lighthouse is well within this timeframe.Thank you,*** ***

Action Development Corporation; their estimate was approved and a payment for the full amount was issuedThis claim is closed.Thank you again,*** ***

Thank you for the opportunity to respond to Mr***'s complaint
After reviewing the notes, I see that our adjuster has been in contact with the claimmant in the past day and provided an update of informationWe are currently awaiting
response from our insured about the incident and have requested a police report from the Springfield, IL police department
Once we receive the police report, we should have a better review of the incident and make a decision on the claimWe appreciate Mr***'s patience in this matter as we attempt to resolve it in a timely manner
Thank you,
