    To: Mr Good Hands People: you don’t have to criticize Allstate..-that’s the “job” of 60 Minutes, CNN, NBC, etal

    Allstate is what it is: a good company always striving to be a great company..-
    And that’s more than lots of other carriers aspire to
    -You ? You’re probably a guy who can go through a box of Kleenex overnight….-without having a cold.

    Shouldn’t the agent or lawyer be paying that bill?

    If it was the players responsibility id be surprised.

    A lot of the guys just dont have the mental capacity to pay their own bills and manage their finances.

    Right on target with that comment. Many of these professional athletes are spoiled children. Not all of them, but enough to ruin the reputation of the rest. Told how special they are and that the rules of the rest don’t apply to them. Sad

    And if he had Allstate, it had to be a minimum of 2 months behind before they cancel a policy…

    But Plaxico was a graduate (or at least a student) at the Univ. of Michigan before entering the NFL. Got to have the basics of reading & writing don’t you?

    Plax was a Mich State “student” but your point is right on

    Keyword: Responsibility

    Definition: That sense of which is missing from Mr. Burress. That lack of which is at the root of both the accidental shooting and lack of auto insurance.

    Do you work for AIG?

    Most states only require 25/50 minimum limits. Plaxico is(was) paid millions. Not a very smart move for someone with substantial assets but,if he can satisfy the basic FR requiremensts and goes without insurance it is no ones business but his. Same with his carrying a gun, as long as he shots only himself.

    Regardless of whether or not an underling was supposed to pay the bill, the ultimate responsibility lies with the insured. Try telling the IRS that your accountant didn’t pay your taxes and therefore it is not your fault. Try telling the mortgage company that your agent didn’t pay your mortgage while they are foreclosing on the home. The excuse that he “didn’t know” will not hold up in court. The ultimate responsibility for his affairs lies with him and him alone, end of story. At the very least he is responsible for hiring competent employees, which of course comes back to him.
