Michael LaPella’s Allstate Insurance agency has been supporting my insurance needs since I moved to Tampa in 2001. I have been under Allstate’s care ever since I left the womb, and Michael & his team have been terrific partners during the time that I’ve known them. I never really appreciated the value of having a good insurance agent and a world-class company supporting me until I had my severe vehicle accident about 2 years ago. I was stopped at a traffic light on Linebaugh Avenue at Sheldon Road in the Westchase area, when a lady came flying up from behind at close to 60 mph. She slammed straight into the back of my SUV, and caused significant damage to the vehicle and to me. Had I not been driving an SUV I doubt that I’d be here today. Oh by the way, the police report indicated that this woman was«distracted by texting», and she had no insurance. Michael and Allstate were there every step of the way, making sure that my SUV was repaired to factory-new standards, and that all of my medical and chiropractic bills were covered without any questions. The man is a class act, and I recommend that you contact their office in Westchase if you’d like someone to review your current policy and discuss some options.
