Allstate Earns Dubious Distinction

The American Association of Justice just released a list of the ten worst insurance companies, and Allstate made the top of the list.

In order to be rated, you have to wholeheartedly embrace a philosophy called "Deny, Delay and Defend," which basically involves doing anything necessary to avoid paying claims.

Here is the list:

1. Allstate
2. Unum
3. AIG
4. State Farm
5. Conseco
6. WellPoint
7. Farmers
8. United Health
9. Torchmark
10. Liberty Mutual

If your insurer is on the list, you might want to rethink your policy.
