    The Hartford has laid off employees and is now outsourcing to India. That is a disgrace!!!!!!

    It will be interesting to see how these peanut/salmonilla claims will turn out. Last I read, they were on the hook for $31m large. Enjoy that defense outside the limits coverage! Its gonna cost you big this time!

    Carla,
    You’re right. It is a disgrace. Now what can be done about it?

    Make sure your legislators realize the outsourcing issue when Hartford asks for federal bailout funds!

    I hate these “without catastrophe” disclaimers. They paid the losses – investors deserve transparency in the overall results.

    The Stag is bleeding. The Stag is dying. God love ALLIANZ, they’ll be comin’ to the rescue?

    I’ve heard that Hartford will be small biz and personal lines – and Allianz will have Fireman’s Fund as the large accounts or national accounts carrier?

    Hartford bought a bank so that they could be eligible for bailout funds? They’re not dead yet! But if they keep writing business cheap, with no underwriting or discretion, even PAPA BARACK won’t be able to save them. (nor Allianz)

    While we were sleeping, they came and took it all away. Suddenly the past comes back to knock you around for all the things you thought you got for free. For the arrogance to think that you could somehow rise above the laws of gravity.
    And so it is finally caught with the big dogs. At the end of the feast who will pick up the tab?

    would be a real shame if small commercial provided insurance for the peanut account. NOT slick n simple!
