yesterday morning i got into a fender bender. i was waiting at a red light on a 3 lane road. left lane is a left turn/u-turn lane. middle lane (the one i’m in) is a straight only lane. right lane is a right turn only lane. the light turns green (i’m first in line at this light), and i slowly start accelerating (i have become a very defensive driver because the city i live is filled with actual idiot drivers, so i never take off at an intersection for fear of someone running the red and t-boning me) to cross the intersection. all of a sudden, a car is in front of me and hits the front right of my car with the front left/side of their car. she was in the right lane and made a u turn from there (or was trying to). i feel like it’s pretty straight forward that moving to the left in capacity from a right turn only lane puts her at fault, but i don’t know how this all works. i recently turned 24 so my insurance is still a bit high, and im waiting until 25 to get comprehensive collision when it’s more affordable for me. so, i’ve had to file through their claims, bristol west. i didn’t call the police for this accident; i was rear ended really horribly two years ago in this same town and it took 2+ hours for a cop to arrive. i have a large event happening at work this week and i legitimately didn’t have the time to spare to wait for an officer to show up. neither of us were hurt, and the damage isn’t too horrible (from what i can tell) so i couldn’t risk missing my morning at work. i know this isn’t great as a police report would help with the story, but i can’t change the past. does anyone have any experience with this? the girl who hit me was very apologetic to my face, but im worried that her story/her insurance (known for high-risk drivers) will try to swindle me and i don’t have my own collision insurance. does this seem straight forward enough or am i in for a headache? thank you for your help, advice, and guidance. edit: would it be worth it to go on my cities FB page and ask if there were any witnesses? it’s a pretty common intersection and my city is relatively small. also, should i contact the police department to see if there is intersection footage? i just want to be as prepared as possible since i don’t have any dashcam footage. thanks

I currently have Pets Best for two of my dogs. I have the more expensive package (not just for Wellness and/emergencies). I got this insurance over the summer when my vet recommended it. One of my dogs, Eve, has pretty bad dental disease and will more than likely need dentals every 1-2 years. Pets Best denied everything related to her dental due to it being a pre-existing condition. Fine, I guess, although I was hoping they would at least cover her pre-surgery blood panel. While she was under, she also had X-rays done of her hips to check for hip dysplasia due to some gait issues. They also denied that as a pre-existing condition. Okay... My other dog, Cora, is currently being worked up for something. She has a dexamethasone test to rule out Cushings. This test was also denied as a pre-existing condition. Here are my questions 1. Should I try to argue with them to cover any portion of these things for my dogs? Is it even worth it? 2. Is there another insurance company who is a bit better? 3. Or should I forget pet insurance and just use the cost of the premium and put it in a separate savings account for my pets health specifically? I should add - I expected to pay for Eve’s dental. I know dental disease is rarely covered under insurance. My vet and I were hoping they would at least cover some blood work and the hip X-rays Update: I just called and canceled my policy with Pets Best. The customer service rep was actually really sorry when I explained the situation. She even got me a refund for the remainder of the month that I already paid for. I’ve decided to just setup another savings account which I will pay monthly into to save for my vet bills.

I was in an accident. I was turning and collided with another vehicle traveling the other direction on a residential street. Apparently an attorney is involved now according to my insurance company, and it certainly has me scared. We have a job and house, but we are barely surviving, so playing legal games is going to break me. It also feels very unfair. I'm pretty sure, if anyone was injured in that car, it's because it appears the kids weren't buckled. It was a mom and kids on the way to school. I want to the back to help and saw a dazed kid rubbing his knees because they probably hit the console in front of him and he was crying. Not totally crazy, like im broken help it hurts crying, but like mildly hurt but mostly scared. I have kids. That explanation wont hold up in court but anecdotally I think he likely was fine based on what I saw and my own experience from the crash. I had mild bruises on the top of my legs, not visible, but just a sore feeling. But I was buckled. And I had a airbag in my face and a little dazed, but when I got out the math didn't work out in my head with how many people I was seeing and the number of seats available in that car. there was a baby seat but no baby. that leaves 4 legal seats in that car, but I'm pretty sure there were at least 5 people in that car. It was hard to figure it all out because of the shock of it and one or two of them walked off to a school or were taken by grandparents that showed up fairly quickly. I bet Its too late to go back and prove that, and I doubt there will be camera footage of it, but there is a slight chance because there is a medical business at that corner, its at the edge of residential and commercial. I dont know what to do. I really dont feel like anyone should have to pay for bodily injury other than her on this, but maybe that is just me being an asshole. It just doesnt feel right because the likelihood that they were playing clowncar with missing seatbelts is fairly high, and it was such low speeds. I didnt hit them in the door, it was front to front. Noone should have walked away from that with any real injuries if you were doing things like you were supposed to. I had minor bruises that lasted 2 to 3 days and were never visible. I'm about to be broken by some greedy person that just wants to cash in and I don't know if there really is anything I can do about it. Fight or not fighting both are too expensive for me to survive. I auto lose.

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

I have auto, home owners, etc and recently applied for Long Term Care Insurance with Nationwide. I did the application over the phone with the agent, then did the (hour long) Q&A. A few days/approx a week later, I got this email from the agent "Nationwide approved your application for CareMatters II Life with LTC policy." I thought the vernacular was strange, because if an application is complete, the 'application' is approved but the policy isn't. I decided to let sleeping dogs lie and left it alone. 1+ week has gone by and still no policy. I followed up with the agent and was told "they would be in touch “shortly” with an updated timeframe". A week goes by and nothing. I called the agent and he looked in the Nationwide portal and said the policy is still processing (I don't recall the exact term he said). Does anyone understand what is going on? Is Nationwide still reviewing my healthcare records? If so, why would the agent conflate "approved your application" with the more colloquial "your policy is approved".

I (live in NJ)have a leased Nissan Rogue 2024. Never been in an accident, have drive and safe enrolled and drive app 10k miles a year max never missed a payment. They've gone up from $89 to $120 in 6 mnths flat. Feels like this is getting a bit out of hand.. Is anyone else facing this and can someone suggest alternatives or suggestions?

Location: Texas. I’m beyond frustrated. $700 was stolen from an Apple gift card in my Apple account, and Apple is refusing to refund the money. I’ve contacted support multiple times, and every advisor says the same thing — they can’t connect me to a supervisor, and there’s nothing more they can do. I provided all the evidence: the gift card purchase receipt, my account history, and the fact that the fraudulent charges happened without my authorization. Yet Apple won’t escalate the issue or involve their Apple ID Security team. I know gift card fraud is a common issue, but this money was stolen from my account, and I feel completely stonewalled. Has anyone had success getting Apple to actually take action on something like this? Any advice on how to escalate this further? This is seriously making me rethink using Apple services at all. $700 is a huge amount to just write off.

I've had a health insurance policy for my mother with ICICI Lombard since 2007. The recent premium was ₹70,000 (including GST) for a sum insured of ₹3 lakhs + ₹3 lakhs bonus, totaling ₹6 lakhs annually. For the past few years, I had been meaning to port the policy but never got around to it. This year, I finally managed to do it—moved to Care Insurance. The new plan offers ₹10 lakhs sum insured with a 50% increase each year, covers pre/post hospitalization, existing diseases, and even includes a few more benefits. And all this for a significantly better premium of 51000 (inclusive GST). After I initiated the port, I got a call from ICICI Lombard asking if I wanted to renew. I politely informed them that I had ported to Care. As expected, they started with the usual pitch about how ICICI is better than Care. When I still didn’t budge, the agent had the audacity to say: **“Lagta hai aap yeh premium afford nahi kar sakte.”** (Translation: *Looks like you can't afford this premium.*) Really? Is this how some insurance companies try to manipulate customers—by playing on their ego? Anyway, I'm glad I finally made the switch. ICICI may want to revisit how their customer support operates.

Hello, I'm new to having car insurance, when I enrolled progressive the asked me to enroll in snapshot to get "an special discount" after signing up and realizing the app had to run always on the background I deactivated it. The thing is I've been getting emails from them saying reactivate it to keep your discount. Is it really worth it to have it activated? I've seen some people saying their rate actually went up by having it on.

So…I’ve had Nationwide for my Yorkie since I got him. For five years. They paid 90% which I think is exceptional. In fact, they’ve stopped that practice! He’s had pancreatitis twice, allergies and other expensive issues. Today I received a notice I was being cancelled. I feared it as the bills have been very high. My question is…Now What?? What recommendations do you have? Will a new company accept pre existing conditions? Who pays out the best and the fastest? I appreciate all thoughts! TIA
