Colossus and Bad Faith Insurance Claims in Maryland
Posted On: November 20, 2009
The Maryland Insurance Administration has now given its stamp of approval on Allstate's use of "Colossus 7.0.2+ Assessment for General Damages" and "Decision Point Medical Expert", software programs as tools to "honestly and accurately" asses the value of first party insurance claims. If you are a Maryland accident lawyer contemplating a first party bad faith claim against Allstate, be prepared for the "computer agreed with me so it must be good faith" argument from Allstate insurance claims adjusters.

The first line of defense should be the attorney who has helped the client so far. If we have been involved with the client in choosing insurance products than we have familiarity with the policy, the agent, and can best assist the client.
