Progressive offered me $750 for diminished value based on costs they incurred for the claim. They did not even consider the actual cash value of the vehicle. For context, this is in Texas and the claim was made on the other parties insurance and I was found at no fault. The car is a brand new BMW M2 and the total repairs estimated around $4-$5k including labor. There’s definitely more than $750 of diminished value since this is a performance car and now has an incident on the car fax. According to the representative, they are not willing to offer more even if I get an estimate of the actual cash value. Do I have any options outside of just accepting what I was given?

In December of last year, I purchased a plan from the Georgia Marketplace. A dental plan. I have called 4 of the offices mentioned under their provider tab and nobody accepts this insurance (solstice -Essential Smile GA- Total Care). One of the dental offices even mentioned that that particular insurance does not cover anything. Would this count as bad faith, false advertising or a 23 year-old learning the hard way about America's health/insurance issues.

Hi everyone, I wanted to share my experience with biBERK workers' comp insurance and get some advice or feedback from others who may have dealt with something similar. I had a workers' comp policy with biBERK that was fully paid and I canceled a few days before the expiration date. A few weeks after cancellation, I received an audit request. I didn’t fill out the forms right away, and shortly after, I got an email saying I owed around $500 as an estimated audit charge since the forms hadn’t been submitted. I called biBERK to ask about it, and the agent told me that if I filled out the audit forms, they’d be able to issue a proper audit and adjust the premium based on actual payroll. I submitted the audit form the next day. To my surprise, after submitting the audit, the amount due increased to $1,300. I called again and was told I could submit a formal dispute, which I did. I explained that: I’m a small business with only one employee on payroll. The policy was canceled early, before the full term. No claims were ever filed. I submitted the audit forms in good faith expecting a fair adjustment—not a higher charge. Today I received the outcome of the dispute, and they only reduced the bill by $77—so I still owe $1,223. I’m feeling frustrated and a bit taken advantage of, especially since the audit estimate was originally much lower and I submitted accurate data as requested. Has anyone dealt with something like this before? Is there any recourse or further steps I can take? I appreciate any advice or insight.

Hi, I recently sent my husband’s wedding band, my engagement ring, and my wedding band in to get polished and resized. Kay jewelers has lost all three rings. The section on the bottom of the receipt reads as follows: “In accepting said merchandise, it is understood that this store, or any of its employees, are not responsible for identification or condition of stones or jewelry at the time of receipt. This store accepts the merchandise listed above solely for the purpose of repair and does not undertake to act as an insurer of this merchandise. I agree with the description and values of the merchandise listed above. IF ANY MERCHANDISE LISTED ABOVE IS LOST OR DAMAGED, I UNDERSTAND THAT I WILL RECEIVE REPLACEMENT MERCHANDISE OF LIKE OR SIMILAR VALUE UP TO AND NOT EXCEEDING THE AMOUNT STATED ABOVE. MERCHANDISE MAY LEAVE PREMISES, CUSTOM DESIGN JEWELRY IS NOT RETURNABLE.” - basically waiving them of any legal obligation. My husband and I have requested a refund for the value of the rings, which they have denied. They have offered to replace the rings, but my husband and I want to be done with Kay. Do I have any power to take them to court to get a refund? Location: Indianapolis

Location: Georgia, USA Hello everyone- My brother was in a motorcycle accident April 6, 2024. He was in ICU for a month and discharged in July, 2024. During that time he did not have his phone, access to email, or ability to check standard mail. My brother was a PE Teacher and football coach in the state of Georgia for 27 years. All of his insurance premiums were paid for once a month in his paycheck. The state of Georgia agreed to early retirement with benefits beginning July 2024. Blue Cross informed him last month they were dropping his insurance for delinquent payments. His appeal was denied. My brother is looking into COBRA as well as ACA. What steps should he be taking to get the necessary pain medications he needs daily? Thanks!

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.

Seeking advice. I had an accident very recently where the other car hit my car while doing improper lane change. Even the police said by seeing the dash cam video of my car that the other person was at fault, I called my insurance company in order to report the accident but they filed it as a claim without confirming with me first. Even though I told them I don't want to use my collision coverage as the accident was not my fault, they still filed a claim without confirming with me first. The claim was closed next day without any pay as they suggested to contact the other person's insurance because I am not at fault. Now I am afraid that this claim will increase my insurance rate from now on, what should I do now? How much it might increase? Is there any way to remove it from the record? Any kind of suggestions will be appreciated.

I have three policies with Geico auto policy in NY that renews on the 9th auto in NJ that renews on the 10th homeowner's that renews in 7 weeks I get multi policy discounts for all of them. I want to move the NJ auto and homeowners policies to another carrier for better pricing. I'm looking to do it on the 10th after the NY policy takes effect. Once I do it the multi-policy discounts will go away. will the NY policy go up in price after the renewal takes effect? I don't pay it and it's for family members who are also on it and it's a lot of money and I want to hold off the pricing complaints as long as I can

My Aetna plan will be removing Miebo from coverage in the new plan year effective 7/1/25. This drug is the only FDA approved drug proven to treat the evaporative component of dry eye disease. There recommending I switch to Restasis , which is a good drug, but only treats the production of tears and not evaporation. Since there is no generic and no FDA approved alternative , are there any legal actions I can consider, or the plan can just do whatever they want and I’ll need to find another company that will cover the plan. The drug is about $800 a month, and while I can make it work, I would prefer for it to be paid for. I could also attempt to back door the European Version EVOTEARS from Germany for $20 a bottle.

My son was hanging out with his girlfriend’s family when her dad pulled out a couple of dirt bikes and offered to let them drive around the block on them. No helmets, no licenses, bikes aren’t registered or even road worthy. My son is 15 with a learners permit. It was 8pm, dark, and the bikes had no headlamps. Long story short, my son ended up running into a car, causing $7K in damages and losing part of a toe in the process. My insurance company will not cover this because it was outside the scope of the coverage provided for the learners permit. The driver is threatening a lawsuit. I’m angry at the girlfriend’s father. I would have never allowed him to get on that bike if I had known about it. I knew the consequences if something like this happened. In addition, the father apparently verbally told the driver he would cover the damages but he hasn’t returned my call. Can the driver sue me? Shouldn’t she just file with her insurance company for uninsured/under insured motorist coverage?
