Two months ago I had a water pipe burst in my house.

Now I am in the claims process with the large insurance co., using Claude to basically run my side of the claim — reading the policy, organizing and filing the ALE receipt scans, reading and notifying me of messages from the agents, calling out when they are delaying too much or not fulfilling their promises, challenging their decisions on what to cover based on the policy, keeping a log of all of our correspondences, logging work estimates and invoices, I cant imagine doing all this tedious work myself—w/o Claude I’d probably just rollover fatigued.

Does my adjuster like this? On the one hand, I’m giving her incredibly tidy and documented receipts and logs, which I am sure is saving her time.

On the other hand, Claude is calling out her BS and delays, which have been atrocious—so much so that Claude is now adamant that she has gone too far and that I should be filing a complaint with the state insurance bureau.

My first guess: She is wildly overworked and that is an insurance company strategy.

This is an interesting customer strategy. Have you escalated your concerns to her management? Have you explained to her that you are considering filing a complaint with the state insurance bureau? It's the ol' stick vs carrot. I say: Start with the carrot. If that doesn't work, back to the stick!
