  • Ignorance of Insurance Underwriters
  • Posted: 2010-04-26 12:18:21 By Jeffrey H
  • I am hoping to find out if anyone else has had the same situation in dealing with Allstate as I just had. I emailed an allstate broker requesting information on my husband who has had RP since 2001 and is legally blind (has 4 degrees left). I even gave them the name of the disease. I received a voicemail stating that the agent was asked by the Underwriter to find out how my husband became blind, (ie. accident or illness) and stated that RP was just a "fancy word for Blindness". I was astonished and you can bet they received an email back with this website link and my absolute amazement at their ignorance. They most definitely may loose my business because of it.
