I was stopped at a traffic signal when another car coming from the opposite direction had his tire come of and hit my car. His insurance is declining to pay saying that it should be covered by my insurance comprehensive coverage. His insurance is liberty and mine is progressive. Just does not sound fair to me. Total damages of 5 k. I do have a 500 comprehensive coverage, its the principle of things. How do I go about it? UPDATE I had the other party call the insurance. The insurance just called and accepted it was their fault and promises to cover everything. They asked to go ahead and book an appointment with the body shop, which I just did for next week. Justice was served , thanks largely to the other driver being honest and standing for it. god bless America. Its about 20 days work and probably will be able to work out a rental car too in the mean time.

I am new to Liberty Mutual. Homeowner Insurance in USA It keeps showing Virtual Assistant, which never route me to a live agent, no matter what I said. Or how to send a message to customer service?

Bought my home back in 2018. My mortgage company chose Berkshire Hathaway and they paid them through my mortgage payments so I didn't pay BH direct. I got notice last week that my policy will be cancelled end of September. Do I need to shop insurance myself or is that up to my mortgage company since they have vested interest in my home? Can I tell my mortgage company what company and policy that I want?

Just a warning to all pet parents. I got two cats from different shelters and signed them up together. One was from a partner shelter and should have been covered from day 1. The other could only start coverage after 2 weeks. Metlife continuously mixes up their names and denies claims for pre-existing conditions, even for the cat from the partner shelter. Sucks because I heard so many great things about them, but I haven't had a successful claim processed in 4 months of owning these cats. If anyone has tips on how to deal with pet insurance that would be really helpful.

I have not enrolled in Trupanion but I am interested in them because of their direct pay options.. however I was chatting with an agent and I asked about prior history of colds or ear infections and she said that would be a pre-existing condition. She said it also depends on the record review. I asked for a contact to review my records and she said that can only be done after enrolling. I asked for a compliance department contact, and she said that isn't available for members. Can someone give me any insight to any of these statements? I'm getting different responses when I speak with different agents.

My homeowners insurance company called me and told me I need to replace my roof and get rid of the t-lock shingles or they will drop me. Is it right for them to do that? The roof is in good condition doesn’t leak or anything. They are basically forcing me to get a good roof redone. Is there something I can do to have them help pay to where I’m not replacing on my own?

I own a condo, which I reside in. The unit directly above me is a rental property. So, a pipe was leaking from the unit above me. HOA says the upstairs unit is fully responsible for any costs incurred in repairing the pipe and restoring my bathroom due to the water damage it caused. The breakdown in cost for my Master Bath is as follows: \*Demolition:   $2,879.00 (already completed) \*Remodeling:  $4,554.39 TOTAL COST:   $7,433.39 The upstairs neighbor’s insurance company, Farmers, just paid me a total of $5,570.51 to cover all costs associated with the completed demolition and for the not-yet-started remodeling. That leaves a shortfall of $1,862.88 to make my bathroom “whole” again. Farmers explained that there is depreciation. My condo was built in 1986. I believe the bulk of the cost associated with restoring my bathroom is labor. Not the materials. Right? Since you can't depreciate labor costs, how can the insurance company justify paying out a significant amount less than what is needed to return my bathroom to the condition it was in before the water damage? For example, one item on the list the contractor submitted to the insurance estimate was $290 to hook the toilet back up and reset it. I asked the contractor how much the cost would be for the material to do that. He said all it takes is some wax. I asked him for a breakdown of material costs vs labor costs, and he said he can't come up with that because it's complicated, and the computer spits out the pricing already bundled together. This is my first time buying a place to live. So, I am not as familiar with all of this, and if I am being denied something I am entitled to from the upstairs owner's insurance. Here is a summary of what the General Contractor submitted to Farmers: Recap by Category O&P Items Total % CABINETRY 710.40 15.60% CLEANING 158.33 3.48% GENERAL DEMOLITION 182.82 4.01% DRYWALL 732.75 16.09% ELECTRICAL 214.02 4.70% FINISH CARPENTRY / TRIMWORK 280.02 6.15% HEAT, VENT & AIR CONDITIONING 13.28 0.29% INSULATION 49.76 1.09% LIGHT FIXTURES 58.29 1.28% MIRRORS & SHOWER DOORS 191.83 4.21% PLUMBING 581.01 12.76% PAINTING 564.27 12.39% O&P Items Subtotal 3,736.78 82.05% Material Sales Tax 58.47 1.28% Overhead 379.57 8.33% Profit 379.57 8.33% Total 4,554.39 100.00% Should Farmers have to pay the full amount to restore the bathroom to its original state? If not, how do I go about getting the remaining amount if I am not responsible for costs?

I’m looking for a new dentist and almost every dentist I calls either is out of network for Anthem or isn’t accepting new patients. I have an HSA account so I have the funds to cover any fees that I might need to pay currently but I’m unsure moving forward if I should just drop my dental insurance and just move to a dentist that I like? I need some crown work currently so I could get that work done before dropping insurance but otherwise I just need regular cleanings and an occasional filling here and there.

Ok so this is totally my fault for not reading the policy documents, but the Trupanion deductibles are PER CONDITION, not annual. This means every time your puppy visits for a new condition, the $500 restarts. The idea is that once the deductible for a condition is met, your pet is covered for life for that condition without having to meet deductibles again. Our puppy had splinters stuck in his tonsils and had to be sedated to have them removed. The total bill was $750, and between "examination fees" and the new $500 deductible (we have already submitted claims for other things), nothing was covered. Here is the kicker, they not only didn't cover the examination/consultation fee, they also denied the "esophageal examination" which was the procedure to pull splinters out because of the word "examination". Here is ANOTHER kicker, if something gets stuck in his throat again, it would be considered a separate incidence, so the $500 will restart again! If your puppy gets giardia, it clears up, and he gets it again in 3 months, guess what, the $500 restarts! I can see that this would be a good policy for older pets with chronic conditions, so you don't need to meet deductibles every year, but for a healthy puppy who gets into accidents from time to time, every incidence is considered separately, so mostly likely much of your expense will not be covered! I'm switching back to another insurance that my 5 year old girl is on. I wanted to try Trupanion because I kept seeing ads for it, but now I'm going to switch both of my pups to be with the same company while my puppy is still young before "pre-existing conditions" develop.

My first mistake was insuring through state farm. My second mistake was using one of the preferred shops that state farm recommends. My liftgate had a dent covering 40% of the area of the surface plus it was bent on the inside frame. State farm insist they can repair this by bending the panel back in place and filling with bondo. This is the worst way to fix this door, but State Farm doesn't care they just want a cheap repair. STATE FARM IS NOT A GOOD NEIGHBOR - THEY ARE VERY DECEPTIVE AND WHEN IT COMES TO YOUR CAR REPAIRS THEY WILL SCREW YOU BIG TIME.
