===Auto insurance claims===
An investigative report in February 2007 by [[CNN]] revealed that major car insurance companies, like Allstate, are increasingly disputing [[vehicle insurance|auto insurance]] claims from individuals injured by their insured members.<ref name="cnn-20070209">In some cases, Allstate proposed settlement amounts as small as $50, asking claimants to "take it or leave it". The investigative report found that insurance companies often make it so expensive and time-consuming to go to court to get full settlement amounts, that it would not be worth the victims' time. The claims handled in the matter were very minor collision type losses that did not result in any ($0) damage to the car, and therefore was the insurance company protecting its assets and the premium paying public money, by keeping rates as low as possible. {{cite news |url=http://www.cnn.com/2007/US/02/09/insurance.hardball/index.html |title=Auto insurers play hardball in minor-crash claims |publisher=CNN |date=February 9, 2007 |url-status = live|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20100324210950/http://www.cnn.com/2007/US/02/09/insurance.hardball/index.html |archive-date=March 24, 2010 }}</ref>  In 2010 Allstate commanded 18% of the auto insurance market in the United States.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://autoinsurancetips.com/good-deal-auto-insurance-how-find-best-affordable-coverage|title=A Good Deal on Auto Insurance: How to Find the Best Affordable Coverage|publisher=AutoInsuranceTips.com|url-status = dead|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20100114072340/http://autoinsurancetips.com/good-deal-auto-insurance-how-find-best-affordable-coverage|archive-date=January 14, 2010}}</ref>
