How a Progressive evidence file gets built
A one-hour intake review covers your $95 fee. We then work under contract at $95/hour, client-directed: every adjuster letter, email, recorded statement, and estimate gets read by a human and indexed against your policy and California Insurance Code §790.03. Your attorney gets a citation-backed chronology, contradiction log, and exhibit binder.
Open a Progressive evidence fileProgressive California claims — FAQ
- Progressive's total-loss offer is below market — what should I do?
- California requires actual cash value to reflect comparable vehicles in your market. We pull Progressive's valuation report, comparable listings the carrier used, and independent comparable vehicles so your attorney can challenge an undervalued settlement.
- Can I claim diminished value from Progressive in California?
- California recognizes diminished value for third-party (not-at-fault) claims. Progressive's blanket denials are a documented pattern; we organize repair records, appraisals, and correspondence to support a diminished-value demand.
- How long does a Progressive bad faith review take?
- The initial one-hour review covers your $95 fee. Most California Progressive files yield a preliminary chronology within 5–7 business days, depending on volume. Ongoing evidence work is $95/hour under contract.
- Do you give legal advice on Progressive claims?
- No. We are a Legal Document Assistant, not an attorney. We organize and analyze the documentary record so your California attorney can build the bad faith, fraud, or misrepresentation theory.
- What California statute applies to a Progressive bad faith claim?
- California Insurance Code §790.03 (Unfair Insurance Practices Act) and the Fair Claims Settlement Practices Regulations (10 CCR §2695) govern adjuster conduct. We map every documented action against those rules in your evidence file.
