“About twenty-five years ago, a woman standing on a sidewalk in Miami was hit by a car driven by someone covered by Allstate Corporation, the giant insurance company that has rung up more than $12 billion in profits over the past three years.
The woman, whose name was Farren Ivey, had to see a doctor because of injuries to her left leg and right shoulder.
But Allstate refused to pay for her full treatment.
So Ivey sued — and she won. Allstate even admitted that it should have paid Ivey’s full medical bill right from the beginning.”
