So I can upload my gap contract and everything if need be but my car was totaled (hit a deer) and they said they figure it out by my total owed at time of loss was 21,187.49 subtract insurance settlement 18,179, then they said insurance took off $1,866 due to condition of vehicle which was just normal wear and tear deductions. So l'm left with $1,141.99 GAP benefit. So they're saying my base vehicle value according to CCC was $19,416 then they subtracted $1866 due to condition adjustment then I'm left with adjusted vehicle value $17550 + tax title and fees comes to $18679 minus my $500 deductible. So l'm left with $18,179, and then my insurance said my actual cash value was $17550. So am I getting screwed here? https://ibb.co/7JHOdYML https://ibb.co/NdpH9f59 https://ibb.co/sJP16tQp Gap contract. It's through EasyCare.

Amy guidance is appreciated. I was driving down a street when a car t-boned me, I spun around in oncoming traffic. I was able to move my car safely. The driver who hit me walks up and says it is his fault. I get my phone out and start recording, I asked him to say it again, he asked if I was recording, I said yes. He said that was fine but when I asked him to repeat what he said, he said it to let the insurance company handle it and laughed. I get taken the to ER just to be safe and I was released shortly. I was given a 2 day work off work note. I immediately reported it to my insurance company. They said they will reimburse me for my medical. The other driver admitted to his insurance that it was his fault so my insurance waived my deductible and will pay for my rental car for 30 days but my insurance will not pay for my lost wages. 2 days later I go to urgent care because now I'm feeling it and I get another doctors note to take me off work for a few more days. I'm very nervous to drive. Now, the other insurance company seems very eager to pay my lost wages, any physical therapy, all my medical, etc. I'm just skeptical they seem so willing to pay. What information should I give them access to and what should I not? What if they have me sign something, what should I look for or make sure I am not being hustled? Any guidance is appreciated. I'm new to this.

Hi, I’m looking for help on disputing information on my CLUE report. Back in March 2024, in Arizona, US, I was involved in a accident which was deemed to be the other driver’s fault. The payout went out from their policy. We were both insured with Progressive at the time. When I first called to report the accident, Progressive opened a claim on my policy, I wasn’t aware it was on my policy at the time, however, I made it clear to them that the other person agreed to having been at fault and gave me their insurance details. When the adjuster first contacted me, they spotted this mistake and closed the claim on my policy with 0 payout and opened a claim on the other party’s insurance, which ended up in a payout of $1400 to me. While shopping for insurance last week, I saw that progressive is listing the above accident as a non-chargeable at fault accident with 0 payout. To get this corrected as a no-fault accident on my LexisNexis CLUE report, I will need to raise a dispute, howe

Just a rant from your friendly neighborhood pet insurance claim adjuster: Disclaimer: I am not speaking for the company I work for or the brand. Some of these things are not universal to all insurance companies, so you should read your policy documents and not take my word as gospel. I’m trying to help ALL of us have a better experience here. *bow* Welcome to my Ted talk. Sorry for any typos… I’m human.. contrary to popular belief. For starters….Please. For the love of god. Attach your invoices, and make sure they are itemized and paid in full. No- the credit card receipt doesn’t count. We need itemized invoices. No estimates don’t work either. PAID IN FULL, ITEMIZED INVOICES. Also- while we’re on the topic of invoices… be sure that invoice says the pet name, hospital/store/pharmacy name and is for the actual pet on your policy. If your pets name changed- for the love of god, notify us. My crystal ball quit working a longgg time ago. No a random CVS/walgreens/costco receipt doesn’t work. It needs to have the med name on it if it’s for a medication. Do you think your car insurance would just take some random Walmart invoice that said “ASJEUDH875” and trust your word that it’s for the car? boAbsolutely not. Do not expect me to accept it either. Stop asking if you should appeal a decision and just do it. You are within your legal right to appeal a claim decision if you do not agree with the outcome! This does NOT mean it will be automatically overturned in your favor. Claims adjusters are humans too and we can make mistakes or misunderstand or misinterpret something! A lot of us are previous vet techs, assistants, etc. but some of us are not and may not fully understand disease processes without the medical records being abundantly clear. Also- some of these vets medical records ABSOLUTELY SUCK and we are rarely (emphasis on RARELY) able to get in touch with drs to get clarification. and when we do?! They are rude as hell and want nothing to do with us. You know how it’s nearly impossible for you to speak with your own vet and you pay them? ….yeah they absolutely won’t talk to us. Also- be nice in your appeal letters. I don’t need to have you threaten sicking your lawyer on me. And honestly- we make fun of you behind the scenes when you act like an animal and try to use big words that you don’t understand. Again- we are human. Give us the opportunity to either make it right or to explain to you why we made the decision that we did. Let’s allllll act like rational, civilized adults here. And guess what?!! If you still think we’re wrong- there’s second level appeals and sometimes even third level. Most companies also offer an independent review after so many appeals! So just chill the hell out and let’s work through it together. Don’t get me started on the old school vets who still have handwritten records and invoices…. Speaking As a former vet tech, it should be illegal. If you have a vet who still hand writes their records and invoices… it’s time to find a vet that lives in this century. You really think your pet is getting the latest and greatest care when their DOCTOR can’t (or can’t be bothered to) figure out a computer? Let that sink in… Do not make us ask for records when you file your first claim. Just send in the required amount per your policy (typically 12-24 months of previous records. Read your policy). It slows the entire process down, we get frustrated, it wastes our time (and your time) and everyone involved is sad that the claim can’t be closed. Then you- the insured- throws a massive fit. Just do what’s required of you in the first place. Let me be so crystal clear on this. I WANT TO CLOSE YOUR CLAIM. I want so badly for your claim to be closed quickly and quietly. My production at work is measured in the number of claims I CLOSE. I do not get credit for the ones that get sent for records. I do not get credit for the ones I have to wait for payment information. I do not get credit for the ones that are not workable yet. Also- in that same vein. I WANT TO COVER YOUR CLAIMS. I want to pay you out money. In fact- we are trained to look for ways to pay you. It’s more work for me to deny your claim than it is to cover your claim. There is paperwork and explanations and it’s a whole process to deny something. I am lazy AF. I don’t want to do all of that if I don’t have to. However- when an insured doesn’t understand how their policy works and then opens a policy for their dog that’s had raging allergies its entire life and then files a claim for the same allergy medication the pets been on forever… come on people… HELP US HELP YOU. Edit: One more thing to add! If you have the ability to put what the claim is for when you file it (ex: ear infection, vomiting, ate a sock, hit by a car) it’s so much easier and quicker for us! I am usually able to process claims by the description as long as the invoice seems to match up with the claim description. If all you put is “see invoice” or “illness” then I have to request records to confirm the condition and that takes up so much time. Give us the information up front! Again- help me help you! ❤️ I’m sure there is more that I could go on and on about. But honestly this is long enough at this point. Who knows… maybe I’ll add more at some point. What do I want you to take away from this? Help us help you. We want to help you. We wouldn’t ask for something if it wasn’t important. And we are human beings too. Please be kind. Small favor: please keep attaching pictures of your pets when you submit claims!!! We share them amongst ourselves and it really reminds us why we do what we do! It’s nice to put a furry face to the names we are helping! And… who doesn’t love staring at cute ass animals all day…. Feel free to ask questions! I’ll try to answer. Don’t get nasty- I won’t entertain you if you act like an ass.

I got rear ended (hit and run) but it resulted in me hitting someone else. The guy I hit has a tiny scratch on his car and there’s deep crack mine that’s barely noticeable. The guy didn’t seem to care, he was fine, and seemed like he was in a hurry to get out of there before the police arrived. I got his license plate and he got my insurance information but I forgot to get his. Since there’s like barely any damage and no one got hurt do you think he’ll report it? I’m worried because I have USAA but it’s the bare minimum and when checking my insurance policy, I realized I put that I own my vehicle but it’s actually leased. I still owe a few thousand on it. I want to be honest with my insurance but I am so worried about the resulting possibly financial burden. I live in VA if that matters.

My dog (cocker) is just over 2 years old, I was with Waggle before but they just keep increasing the price each year and I have never needed them for anything. No claim, no nothing & the only vet she ever needed I paid out of pocket. So decided to cancel and look at other options. I doubt I'll get lucky but is any insurance like an NHS service where I can just pay a monthly fee then everything is covered? Like how us as a human went into a hospital and It's free as we pay for it monthly I spoke to my vet who said insurance works like reimbursement where I would have to outright pay example £10,000 then claim it back from my insurance but I don't have £10,000 just sitting in my bank so how would it work otherwise? (first time doggo owner so sorry if these seem stupid asking)

Earlier this year, I was involved in an accident where I was side swiped by a gardener truck. I was on a residential street and slowed down to look for parking. The gardener truck was behind me but decided to pass me, and when I drove forward a little to park further up, the truck merged back into my lane and struck my car with the equipment hanging off its trunk. They sustained no damages while my drivers side window shattered, mirror broke off, and fender/door sustained damages. Around 2 months ago, we received a letter from their insurance saying they assessed 55% negligence on their insured driver and 45% on me. They were also willing to pay for 55% of my damages. My insurance decided to take them to arbitration. During this time I received 2 letters from my representative. The first said that while the other insurance company has accepted full responsibility for the accident, they have not been able to reach a settlement for damages paid. I then received a second letter a month later saying that the arbitrator has ruled in favor of the other party. This seemed like a complete 180. I was shocked to learn of their final decision and emailed my representative asking if any of my $1,000 deductible would be recovered. She said no and sent me a copy of the arbitration decision which stated the following duties breached on my end: vehicle failed to keep appropriate lookout and they failed to maintain safe parking maneuvering. Is there anything I can do at this point? I know the arbitration decision is binding and final but I am honestly just stunned, especially because it felt like the truck failed to safely pass my car. I spoke with my insurance and they said my premium will most likely double. Is this fair?

I’m 23, no accident or tickets at all currently driving a 2021 Mazda3 hatchback, no loan on the car. Currently paying 362 a month for full coverage with USAA and live in Florida. Should I look elsewhere for insurance? I’ve been with USAA 5 years now and I’m starting to think I’m over paying.

Is it even legal for Healthy Paws pet insurance to increase premiums at almost 200% in CA? This is outrageously high!! Anyone experiencing the same? #healthypawspetinsurance
