My All-State "Your in good hands" tale of how the hand opened up and dropped us.
We lived in Mass for many years and never had an accident.
We then moved to NC and had to get a different insurer since the one we had in Mass didn't do business in NC.
We had always seen that ad "your in Good Hands" with All state, so we picked them.
Two years went by, without a claim, and then one day in my yard, my vehicle slid on mud and I dented the fender. We had $100 deductible.
The repair cost $189, so I paid the deductable and All state reimbursed me the $89.
About three months later we received a notice that they were dropping us.
This was a long time ago, and since then we have received ads in the mail to go with them.
Needless to say I won't, and I relate that story to everyone I know when they are thinking of getting a new insurer.
I wonder how much money All state has lost because of the way I was treated ???

Your last question is certainly valid. 20 years ago I had to hire a lawyer just to get reimbursed for the hospital ER room cost for my son when he was hit by an Allstate insured driver. NO damages for pain or other things requested. Just the hospital fees for ER. (about $500.00)
Fast forward to 8 years ago. I tried out Allstate through a good agent my former boss recommended. Three claims in eight years. One on the motorcycle, one on the trailer, One on the truck. Every one of the three claims were handled promptly and without hesitation. Rate increase? Nope. I am still with them.
MY point is that the "modern" Allstate is a very different company than in the past.
