I got into a car accident almost a year ago. The person I got into the accident with was insured by State Farm, the accident was in late May, she opened the policy at the beginning of May. At the time of the accident when I called State Farm to attempt to file a claim with their party’s insurance, I was told they couldn’t find the policy in the system. Upon following up numerous times State Farm ultimately denied coverage and I had to open a claim with my insurance. I was not at fault if that matters… My vehicle was totaled out, I paid my deductible and bought a new car with the check issued by my insurance. My insurance was unable to recover my deductible from the driver or State Farm and ultimately sent the file to collections. After the file was sent to collections they were able to recover the deductible, however are unable to tell me who made the payment. Fast forward a year later I get a call from State Farm regarding the accident. Apparently the driver was covered at the time, and they’re offering a settlement. I called my insurance to inquire if they knew the driver was covered and they sent over a copy of State Farm’s written statement denying coverage… accept the person listen under “Our Insured:” doesn’t match the name of the driver which is the same name on the policy information. My question is, I already signed the release for the settlement but this something worth following up on? I spoke to State Farm to ensure the party was actually covered and they confirmed she was. Or should I just wait for payment and let it be?

I am in the habit of constantly asking clarifying questions and I ask the same ones over and over again to different people (I call frequently) and I get different answers all the time. I never truly know what's covered or how much it's going to cost. It's so much BS. The medical facilities give me more accurate information than Priority Health does. 3 Priority Health people have told me my son receives unlimited therapy visits because of his diagnosis, but I know that's not true, and I've had only 2 people tell me the correct number of visits he gets for his diagnosis. The pediatric office even knew the correct answer. How is this legal for them to be so wrong all the time? Ughhhhh

Got a quote from GEICO like around a week ago for 299 and month for full coverage, it’s the cheapest one I found compared to other insurance companies charging me 2x that at 18 I called GEICO and ran through the quote with him for a 2022 Hyundai Elantra limited he said it will be 304. That car ended up getting sold I found a new car I wanted clean title not a rental 7k miles 2024 Hyundai Elantra sel I got quoted $299 for it last week. Now I did another quote for the same car it’s all the same info I had last week and now it’s at $540 a month. I called and the GEICO guy said “rates can go up” and I highly doubt they go up $250 in a week. He did say my $299 quote sounded unrealistic and they whouldnt quote that when I literally have the saved quote on my GEICO app. I’m just wondering is this normal? And I can still buy the $299 a month quote right now since I did save it but I am scared they will raise my insurance prices to 550 a month after the 6 months. I do have screen shots of both quotes but just can’t add them. Should I buy the $300 a month quote since it’s the cheapest I found or will GEICO raise my rates after 6 months.

I bought a 2014 Chevy Silverado and I wrecked around the 1st of march I have full insurance coverage and my insurance has totaled my truck. I have had a couple of mechanic friends look at it. They are telling me that it only did a couple thousand dollars of damage. Yet the collision repair center said that it did a $9000 of damage. I told the insurance that I want to buy it back. But the insurance company is telling me that I have to pay $3700 out of pocket before they will let the truck go. I had full coverage insurance and I thought that they were supposed to pay it off first. Doesn’t the insurance company have to pay it off then send me the rest? Also I put a massive audio system in the truck. $300 alone in wire. They said that I need to put a factory radio In it before the take it back. Isn’t that a load of bs? Location: Claremore Oklahoma

My friend in Texas lost her job a year ago and has been on BCBS healthcare through the market place. She suffers from a severely resistant rheumatoid arthritis and her biologics also caused her serious side effects of gut dysmotility and weak immune system. Just yesterday, she told me that she lost all access to her PCP , gasteroenterologist, orthopedic surgeon and psychiatrist, all of which are part of Southwestern Texas Health resources that have been battling withy BCBS over the contracts and stuff. She is applying for jobs left and right but we know how bad job markets are right now. What on earth is she supposed to do? All the doctors she has been seeing are out of network in other available health care plans.

A few weeks ago, my car was hit in my workplace parking lot here in Minnesota. I made a police report and got security footage of the incident. While the footage didn’t directly show the other car making contact, one angle captured the only vehicle near mine, and another angle showed my car rocking from the impact. The police reviewed the footage and agreed that the vehicle likely hit me but noted that we needed to identify the specific car since we didn’t have a license plate. Fortunately, since this happened at my workplace, we were able to find a matching vehicle based on make, model, decals, and wheels. Upon inspecting the suspected car, it had scratches exactly where the damage on my car lined up. While I understand this is circumstantial evidence, it strongly suggests that this is the car that hit me. I filed a claim with their insurance (State Farm) and provided all the evidence. However, I’ve been calling every other day for updates, and State Farm keeps telling me they haven’t been able to reach their policyholder. At this point, I’m stuck waiting with no progress. I’m considering small claims court, but that’s really a last resort since I work with this person, and they’re actually my cubicle neighbor. I’d prefer to resolve this through insurance if possible. For those who have dealt with similar situations—what are my options? Is there anything else I can do to move the claim forward?

Okay so my cat is almost 2 yo and has no pre-existing conditions, has a primary vet, and is not spayed yet (Plan to, very soon!) I’m looking for a good insurance that covers wellness (mostly blood test and spaying cost?) for the first year and accident&illness for the following years. I have gotten some quotes and is eyeing Odie and MetLife for that, but every insurance seems to have bad reviews, or some would even call them scams. Please provide me some experiences/takes on the insurance you use for your cat, thanks in advance!! This could be really helpful for me ;)) P.S. the reason I want a wellness plan to cover spaying is because there’s no shelter/low cost spaying availability around me and I want to be consistent with my vet :,) my cat went into heat last week and I don’t want this to come back again so really wanna do it sooner.

Hey guys, im a 24 year old male living in Ontario and just got hit with a complete blindside. I’ve been insured on multiple vehichles through different companies since 2018, no tickets, pullovers or anything. I just bought a new truck and found out when getting quotes that I have 2 at fault accidents on my record. The first was July of 2021, my 67 mustang hit a pothole and caused some minor damage to the fender. I called intact and asked some questions and they said the only way I would get any money towards repairs is if I put it through as an at fault-after hearing this I said no thanks and paid it myself. They never said anything about this going on my record, the whole point of me paying out of pocket was to avoid this. The second was on my truck in Feb 2024. I was in Colorado and my brother needed to move my truck out of the driveway, it was late at night and a neighbour was parked somewhere it was hard to see and he bumped into it. My truck was fine and I was away so I didn’t deal with any of it directly but my brother used his personal insurance to pay out the damages but this is on my record as at fault for me. Is there anything I can do to get this off the record? I’ve talked to so many insurance agents who just shrug and say they won’t insure me and that the circumstances don’t matter. I’ve had insurance since I was 17, paid over $25,000 since then and cost insurance companies $0 and they won’t insure me.

Hey everyone, I had lemonade pet insurance for around a year but they don’t cover my dogs allergies (pre exist). They also upped my insurance to almost 50 bucks a month, before it was 35. So I dropped them and have been putting money away each week in the stock market in case of an emergency. I have been doing this for almost a year and have around 700 bucks in it now (robinhood). Obviously the stocks are down right now and I’m down 30 bucks but historically they will go up again. Just wondering if anyone else has decided to this instead, it’s nice seeing my money actually being saved rather than throwing it away with pet insurance and things they do not cover. I first got my dog and took him to the vet prior to getting insurance and that’s why they don’t cover his allergy meds. NOTE: always get pet insurance before going to the vet if you choose to get it.
