In addition to solid financial results, Progressive last month announced the launch of its new safety feature, Accident Response, aimed at enhancing customer peace of mind.
This feature, which is available nationwide, is particularly relevant as the winter season approaches, bringing with it an increased risk of accidents due to icy and snowy conditions.
According to the Federal Highway Administration, nearly 70% of U.S. roads are in areas prone to snowy conditions, contributing to over 116,000 annual vehicle crashes on slippery roads.
Accident Response uses phone sensors to detect significant accidents and promptly notifies the driver. If a crash is detected, Progressive reaches out to offer assistance, and if the driver is unresponsive, emergency services are dispatched. Additionally, the app allows customers to quickly request emergency services or a tow, with Progressive automatically submitting a claim on their behalf.
Price Action: PGR shares are trading higher by 3.96% to $252.37 at last check Friday.
