Location: Florida So I'm frustrated with Progressive because they identified a person who was staying in my home temporarily and added them to my policy. This person has never driving or touched either of the cars on my policy. They supposedly sent out a mail notice, which I could not find physically or even in my email, where I'm signed up for Informed Delivery and would be able to see any envelope that said it's from Progressive. I looked through my email to see the notices dated months ago stating the persons name and that if I do not contact Progresive by January 16 that they would add them to my policy. I looked though the details of my policy today and that's when I found that they are listed as a driver. So I've been paying for this person to be on my insurance for the past three months. I have to wait until Monday to speak with underwriting to figure out what happened and what to do. My question is whether this practice is even legal in the state of Florida. From what I've seen, a lack of response of a notice does not indicate consent. My explicit consent was not obtained to make changes to my policy. I have not even talked to or seen the person added for months before the changes were completed.

Car Came In Contact With Pedestrian Hello All, I would just like some community input. My mother a few days ago was driving her car in Queens, NYC, she was going about 18mph, when a pedestrian backed into traffic and came in contact with her car and was taken away by Ambulance, No damage to my mother's car and she was not injured. NYPD came and took a report and my mother's insurance. Other party literally hired an "Ambulance chaser" the next day. In the NYPD report they state what the pedestrian said, "pedestrian pulled over her car at body shop to be looked at, she stated she opened the hood and a splash of water spewed out and startled her and she jumped backwards" (NYPD did not witness the accident and I am aware the police report does not determine fault in accidents just criminal liability, but the report is used as a tool). My mother didn't have a dash cam (lesson learned), my mother also says that someone saw a security camera footage of thr incident. I just wanna know how screwed is my family since my mom has her car and house to worry about and now this? *Note* My mother works for the USPS and was on the clock at the time, she just drives her car to a central location on her route and then walsk her route. I already knew State Farm would deny the claim cause my mother was on the clock. They advised the other party to file a tort claim with the USPS. *Note, the USPS is not as transparent with its employees or customers. So I have very little faith in how this process will be handled since my mother was working at the time. Thank you all for your input.

I’m buying a car tomorrow and don’t have auto insurance. The only company that is offering the option for next day insurance in my state is Geico. I’ve heard it’s horrible and would like to shop around more but need insurance to take the car off the lot tomorrow (obviously). Can I pay one month for Geico and then cancel the policy once I find something better? Planning to work with a broker. Thanks for the advice. I haven’t owned a car in 10 years (lived in a walking city) so am trying to figure this all out.

Hey Everyone, I had a strange occurrence about signing up for term life insurance. Zander scheduled a person to come out to my home to draw blood from me, despite me telling them that I would like to come out to one of their affiliated locations. When I declined the offer a second time, I left a message for Zander, who did not call me back. Next, I reach out to Zander again and the agent tells me that they would like to make it more convenient for me, as they do not have locations nearby. Turns out, they have a location 10 minutes away, as ExamOne is affiliated with Quest Diagnostics. When I call them, they are strangely indifferent on the phone and are telling me that they will do a full 45 minute physical. When I asked if the results will be shared with my primary physician, they do not give me a straight up answer. When reading up on it, it seems like they do not even publish the results for the patient online. What are your thoughts?

Question about marketplace insurance vs. private. My husband and I are partners in our own business so we got on a family marketplace plan this year after much due diligence on my part to ensure our providers were in network. We found out the hard way that just because some hospitals in a health network are covered, doesn't mean all are covered. This was upsetting to us because having both worked for the large health networks around us, we know where you go for procedures matters. I did a search of all marketplace plans for the 2 hospitals we prefer and NONE are in network. I got an email recently from an insurance broker who quoted me a price for Anthem BCBS that is a few hundred dollars cheaper a month than our marketplace plan including subsidies. There is a small deductible that I don't have with the marketplace plan and some limits on how often we can utilize a service but this would be OK with me if we could go to the hospitals we prefer. I'm also worried the healthcare subsidies will go away next year so finding a cheaper plan puts me a bit at ease. Is there anything I need to be super aware of with private plans? I'm curious how a private plan could be cheaper than a marketplace plan which is what is making me wonder if it's too good to be true. Thanks for any insight you can give!

Should I get lawyers involved? In January 2025, I received a letter from my insurance company stating that my policy had been cancelled due to non-payment and that I now owe a balance. However, this was the first and only communication I received—prior to that, I had no notice that a cancellation was even being considered. Here’s what happened: In late 2024 or early 2025, it appears that one or two scheduled payments did not go through because my credit card had been temporarily locked by my bank due to a fraud alert. As soon as I became aware of the issue, I immediately made the payment manually and settled any outstanding amount. I reviewed my billing history and confirmed that no payments were missed beyond that short disruption—and everything was brought up to date right away. The insurer claims they sent me a letter stating that I needed to pay the full yearly premium in order to maintain my policy. I never received this letter. This communication would have been sent during or shortly after the Canada Post strike (November 15 to December 17, 2024), which caused widespread mail delays well into January. It’s highly likely the letter was delayed or never arrived at all. Again, the only letter I ever received was the final notice informing me of the cancellation and that I now owe a balance. By that point, I had no opportunity to take corrective action. I believe the insurer failed to adequately notify me of their intent to cancel my policy, especially considering the known disruption in mail services and the fact that I had already taken steps to correct the payment issue. This situation has now affected my insurance record and left me scrambling to secure new coverage at a higher cost. They sent it the underwriter and denied my claim what should I do?

A few weeks ago, my driveway suddenly collapsed. After some initial inspection, it was determined that the cause was a failed 96” storm drainage pipe running underneath the driveway. This pipe is in an easement, common area, which means it’s the HOA’s responsibility—not mine as the homeowner. The CC&R’s clearly state that the Association is responsible for the maintenance, inspection, and repairs of the retention basin. It’s been 6 weeks since the incident and since then, I’ve been trying to get the HOA to take action. They had a contractor and inspector out, and they’ve submitted a claim to their insurance company. However, progress has been really slow. I haven’t received clear answers or timelines, and the damage continues slowly worsen by the day. To make things more complicated, I’m currently part of a construction defect lawsuit—along with other homeowners—against the original builder. The HOA and the law firm plan to include this drainage pipe failure in the existing lawsuit, since their initial review suggests it was likely caused by “defective construction”. The law firm says they’re now waiting for a temporary repair recommendation from a geotech engineer expert. Once they have it, they’ll send it to the HOA board for review and approval (or denial of the repair). In the meantime, I got a message from the HOA’s insurance company saying coverage is still under review, but that I have a “duty to mitigate damages and should contact MY property damage insurance (WHAT?!?!). That’s confusing and frustrating, since the drainage system that failed is owned and maintained by the HOA—not me. I’m doing my best to stay on top of everything and keep communication professional, but it’s exhausting, and the lack of urgency from all sides is really frustrating. Would love to hear your thoughts—am I being unreasonable here? What else should I consider? Location: ca

I am getting some MRI's done at a outpatient facility and wanted to get an estimate by my insurance on my copay. My insurance asked me to get the NPI /taxid for the radiologist that will be doing the MRI so they can get the best estimate. I have BCBS I contacted the outpatient facility (NJ imaging network), and they gave me an NPI number but thats the NPI nubmer of the facility. I asked for NPI number of the radiologist, but they said that they bill under the facility, not the radiologist. How am I supposed to get an accurate estimate here? Also by "provider" billing I mean physician billing

TL;DR: Be nice and…get yo money?? I made a post a few days ago about how I was seeking compensation for the stress caused my the mishandling and lying committed by the at fault drivers insurance. This was my first car accident, so I’ve never dealt with the claims side of insurance. I explained how it’s my understanding they were in violation of the Unfair Claims Settlement Practices Act and how when I finally got ahold of the other insurances adjuster, he made multiple false statements (which his supervisor confirmed were untrue statements). For many reasons told and untold, this was stressful. I made a post explaining how I was seeking compensation for the stress caused by the mishandling of this claim and asked what the chances were that I’d get compensation. I came here seeking genuine answers and instead I received belittling comments, essentially saying “you will receive nothing you dumb fuck.” Well…I just received an email today from the insurance agreeing to pay exactly the amount I asked for. While I get things take time, not hearing a single word from the other insurance for almost two months when their own policy says they reply within one business day, and making multiple unnecessary false statements is not right. Making belittling comments to someone is also not right. My point is, be nicer. Don’t join a subreddit where people are seeking genuine answers if you can’t give them, or simply don’t comment. AND, if an insurance company got you feeling stressed, take a chance. It might literally pay off.
