2019 Toyota Camry / New York / GEICO My husband was running late to work today and on the way there, there was a slow car right before the entrance to his job. He went around that car and his car slid and hit into a pole. No one got hurt. He said the car drives fine, the damage seems to be on the cosmetic side hopefully but he doesn’t know for sure that nothings leaking or broken inside. None of the sensors are going off. I wish I could post a picture. He contacted GEICO online since he’s still at work and couldn’t call. They made him take pictures without any detailed explanation about the state of the car and offered him 3k for the car. We are 4K away from paying off that car. We are not in a financial state to just get a new car and we were so excited to finally stop the crazy payments on the car. What do we do? Do we take the 3k and use it towards a new car? Or is there any chance to contact company directly and see if there’s a chance to fix the car? Sorry if my questions seem silly, I don’t know much about insurance or cars. Just want to ease some of my husbands worries if I’m able and have a clear way forward. He’s shook up and freaking out about how stupid he was to make such a mistake especially when we were about to be done paying it off. If you have any advice thank you in advance.

I’m having. Hard time with them right now!! I got my female cat spayed n hernia repair through the local spca low income program before I got her insurance Fast foward she now has pet insurance with trupinion since Jan she was spayed/hernia in September They keep emailing me n calling me for records on her spay n repair said they have contacted the SPCA n they haven’t emailed back ! I contacted the spca they don’t keep records or notes form the spay program So they emailed them n told them that! So now they are saying without proof she was spayed or hernia repair if I ever file a claim it may take longer to resolve stuff! I’m starting to think I’m paying them monthly for nothing ! I got insurance so I didn’t have a huge vet bill if she needs to go to the vet n cause they pay direct ! Anyone else have this issue? I mean what happens when someone gets a cat off the street or wherever n it’s already been spayed etc but they don’t know from where n don’t have records! Ugh! I feel like I’m wasting money!

Progressive, Northern California, 5 driver/5 car policy. I’m mostly remote now at work and sold my car for a local commuter. With the new car, my annual mileage estimate went down by 5k miles per year. The car is dirt cheap, so I opted for liability only coverage. I thought I was going to save $1000 per year, but my rates stayed almost the exact same. What’s going on here? Would talking to an agent on the phone change anything?

Alright so... I live in GA and GA power services my home. Recently the neutral wire on GA power side (prior to meter) became heavily degraded and caused half of the house to receive double voltage. I attempted to make a claim with GA power, but I guess they have it written into their contract with the city that they don't cover incidents resulting from "squirrels chewing through the steel wiring." They said to make an insurance claim instead. Does all that sound right? We had a number of items (dishwasher, stove, ceiling fans, computer, etc) fry due to the double voltage. We have an ongoing open claim from Hurricane helene unfortunately as well so trying to determine best recourse. Thanks!

I have 2 dogs, 7 and 6 years old. They both have had some issues with lower back pain and suspected arthritis but not diagnosed. I got an email notifying me of my embrace insurance premium going to almost double! Can I switch insurance despite them being this old and having received physical therapy? Or are they pre-existing conditions that will prevent a new insurer from writing a new policy?

Due to a pipe backing up, and magically fixing itself, our house flooded. We have been out of our house since the beginning of February. We have ASI thru progressive. Our insurance adjuster said he was going to pay the company directly for mitigation, and then send us a check so we could pay the company for restoration. We have been waiting for weeks on when and how much they are going to pay us. The only time I hear from our adjuster is when I call to let him know that our hotel stay needs to be extended. I’m trying to be patient, but I’ve been trying to reach out and can’t get in touch with him and his voicemail is full. We are living in a hotel with two dogs, and a cat. Our dogs are stressed, and ill, they have been to the vet for this. One is actually there now. We are eating fast food every night, and I just REALLY want to be home. I need to know how much they are paying so I know how much to pull out of our 401k to replace the deductible and appreciation (?), and this process takes time. I have tried to view the claim online and nothing comes up when I put in the information. What do I do from here? I want to be HOME. THANKS!

I’ve been with USAA all my driving life and I’ve grown fed up with the high prices. So I’m switching to Erie and it goes active on the 28th. My USAA bill is due the 31st so when would be the best day to cancel? I’m not sure if I should call tomorrow or call them on the 27th. This is the first time I’ve ever switched insurances like this.

A couple of weeks ago a gentleman ran the stop sign in front of my house and used my new mudroom as a stopping mechanism. We were told to get an estimate from a contractor and they would cut us a check. We got a detailed estimate and the insurance company sent it out for review. The review came back with a 6000.00$ reduction in the estimate due to not enough detail on the labor side of the estimate. The insurance agent said that we could accept the money while we submitted an updated more detailed estimate to get the extra 6000.00$. Should we take the money while we wait for the contractor to update the estimate or should we get the updated estimate first?

I had previously had Geico insurance. I thought I was paying for collision coverage until I backed into a pole and made a claim and they said otherwise. So I proceeded to drop them and get Progressive. It's been, let's say a year since then and I haven't fixed the damage to my truck because I figured I couldn't make a claim to fix damages my vehicle had BEFORE I started my policy. Anyway two days ago my sister backed into a pole and it seemingly did no damage, then when I came out of work today I saw that the plastic cover of my bumper had completely fallen off. Can I make a claim to have my bumper fixed? I'm sorry if this is a stupid question or if I've done LITERALLY everything wrong.

I am debating between nationwide and costco pet insurance for my new 8 month goldendoodle puppy. Figo is $40 cheaper than nationwide. Nationwide is $93 a month 80% coverage $250 deductible. Figo is $53 a month 80% coverage with $250 dedutlctable. i have had nationwide for my older dog who got chemo treatments and front leg amputated 3 years ago and they covered 90% with $250 deductible. I've had 90% coverage for 8 years untill 2 months ago. Nationwide sent me a letter saying they were cutting coverage from 90% to 50% for my 12 year old dog.
