I denied 1,847 motorcycle claims in 15 years at Provident Insurance\u2014and I was proud of it. Bikers got the same treatment: delays, denials, and lowball offers.<\/p>\n
\u201cHigh-risk lifestyle,\u201d I\u2019d write, no matter the evidence. I saw bikers as reckless, undeserving.<\/p>\n
Last month, I rejected an 82-year-old Marine\u2019s claim after he was rear-ended. His wife cried, said they\u2019d lose their home. I told her he should\u2019ve picked a safer hobby. She hung up sobbing.<\/p>\n
My coworkers called me the “Bike Killer.” Riders warned each other about me online. I used to laugh at their stories\u2014until yesterday.<\/p>\n
A key led me to a storage unit I inherited after my mom died. Inside: a Harley. Leather jacket. Photos. Newspaper clippings.<\/p>\n
My sweet, churchgoing mom was \u201cStorm\u201d Williams, a biker legend who once saved a girl from a rollover crash. That girl… was me.<\/p>\n
I read letters from riders she helped\u2014many I had denied. Suddenly, I understood their hatred.<\/p>\n
This morning, I quit. Then I called the Marine\u2019s wife. \u201cHis claim is approved,\u201d I said. \u201cFull coverage.\u201d<\/p>\n
I don\u2019t know what comes next. But I do know this: I\u2019m done tearing people down.<\/p>\n
I\u2019m Jennifer Williams. Former adjuster. Proud daughter of Storm. And maybe\u2026 I\u2019m finally ready to ride.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
