Liberty Mutual Insurance
Liberty Mutual Insurance, a/k/a Liberty Mutual Group, is the fourth-largest property and casualty insurer in the United States. Liberty Mutual is based in Boston, Massachusetts, but has insurance companies in at least 19 other countries. Policyholders are considered shareholders of the company.
Liberty Mutual Claims vs Safeco Claims
Before 2008, our firm viewed Liberty Mutual as one of the more reasonable insurance companies in Texas. They made reasonable efforts to settle Liberty Mutual claims promptly and for acceptable amounts. In 2008, they acquired Safeco Insurance and made it a part of the Liberty Mutual Group. This resulted in the blending of assets and claims adjusters. In our opinion, the Safeco insurance adjuster approach was much more combative. Since the merger, Liberty Mutual does not make offers as freely or reasonably as it did before. In our opinion, this has made it more often necessary to file lawsuits against Liberty Mutual and Safeco insureds to secure a fair recovery for an injured accident victim. Don’t be surprised if you run into a battle when filing Liberty Mutual claims or Safeco claims. (Note: Safeco is not the same as Safe Auto.)
Lawsuits Against Liberty Mutual and Safeco Insurance
Lawsuits filed against Liberty Mutual insureds in the Houston area are defended by several different outside counsel as well as their own in-house counsel. The attorneys are professional and skilled and should not be taken on without counsel on your side. However, filing a lawsuit and bringing in an attorney the adjuster may listen to better than a claimant can be instrumental in resolving the claim.
