Homesite Insurance I bought my condo five years ago and have Homesite Insurance (according to my recent research, this is not good…). I just filed a claim with them about what my plumber suspects is a faulty toilet wax ring which has caused water damage in the condo unit below mine. Chances are my bathroom will be out of commission for a bit. My question is this: has any one had at least a neutral experience with Homesite? Any tips on how to make sure they do what they’re supposed to? I’m doing my part by brushing up on my insurance policy. Any advice on how to avoid delays is greatly appreciated! I guess I’m just looking for a little hope, lol. Thank you!

My son damaged his car leaving a parking lot. He didn’t tell us for a few weeks (he parks with the passenger side near the garage wall so we never see that side) and can’t remember the address because he was lost in a scary part of town. He definitely drove over something because the frame behind the front passenger wheel well is bent. Geico wants the address in case there is property damage. I’m pretty sure it was an abandoned lot and nobody cares about a piece of cement. I don’t even know what to say to them. I’ve explained the situation but they keep wanting an address. It’s a 2 year old financed car that we bought brand new and have been with Geico for 10 years and have maybe 2 claims. This is my son’s first claim and he’s got no traffic violations or accidents but this. He’s 25.

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.

Greetings everyone. I do but know where to go for help in this. I tried the court but that was useless. There is only one lawyer near us that takes our MetLife legal card. So my dad died augusts 2022. The estate is worth close to a million and there was no will. I tried to qualify as the administrator, but since I had to be bonded, my credit held me back, so my brother was able to qualify. Since then, he has done nothing. Two plots of land were sold for 300,000. It was sold for less than it was worth, but it was too family, and that was important to my dad. No personal items have been sold. There homes are in the country and the homes are full of mice that I’m sure have eaten everything! The cars have been sitting, uncovered the four wheelers the Farm equipment, all of it sitting and rusting. There is a double wide that’s about 15 years old and sits on a gorgeous lot and a three bedroom brick ranch that is still waiting to be sold and all of the personal effects but I cannot get my brother to do anything. He will not return a phone call or a text message. When we try to contact the court, they were of no help we don’t know what to do who returned to or what our rights are and trying to read online. It’s like it’s written in another language. I know this is a long Post, and if anybody has time to give us an idea of how to move forward from here what we can do it would be so appreciated. We are in Virginia if that makes a difference at all thank you in advance so so much.

My car was parked and hit by an amazon delivery truck. They were delivering packages to either my apartment or one next door. He side swiped my car leaving the parking lot. Luckily a person saw and tried to flag him down and he sped off and drove off. The witness then reported it to my apartment management who got the video footage from their surveillance cameras. I have the photos of the amazon truck hitting my car, a clear view of his license plate, a witness, and a police report (although the policeman said he couldnt read the state on the plate but i figured that out later and gave it to my insurance so it might not be in the report). I called amazon and got two different reps who barely spoke english. I ended up calling my insurance (state farm) and they were great and said i should do a claim as typically this doesnt affect premiums. After i initiated the claim last week, yesterday i finally got a call back from amazon who said a rep from ARC, their dedicated claims (third party?) company, would reach out next week. I researched ARC and all the reviews are awful. Everyone says they lowball you and take months to settle. Should i just go through with the claim with state farm? I havent gotten any estimates yet. And my rep for state farm said this would likely not raise my rates. But im guessing the fix will be several thousand for a new fender and bumper and maybe wheel rim. I havent had a claim in 10 years and felt good about that, but just wanna make sure im not doing this wrong. Thanks.

Location: Georgia Two months ago, [I posted here](https://www.reddit.com/r/legaladvice/comments/1ikves7/frustrated_with_attorneys_lack_of_communication/) about my legal case, and I’m finally seeing some traction. However, as my attorney is preparing to file the statement of claim, I’m getting minimal explanation about his legal reasoning, and I’m concerned he may be rushing my case. Here’s where things stand: * My attorney initially filed for Magistrate Court, but after withdrawing that case in December (just days before the court date), he mentioned we should pursue Superior Court instead. * This past week, he drafted a second statement of claim. When I pressed him with questions about how the law applies to my case, his responses have been minimal, often just one or two sentences. * I believe my case, while complicated, does have grounds for pursuing punitive damages. However, the statement he drafted only outlines compensatory damages. * In my last email, I asked him to explain why punitive damages would not apply to my case. His response was simply, "I don't think it applies," with no further explanation. Additionally, he mentioned that Magistrate Court in Georgia is capped at $15,000, but earlier he had said he was planning to file in Superior Court. I’m assuming he plans to file next week. I’m planning to call ARAG Legal (through which I hired him) and consult with other attorneys for a second opinion. I’m feeling extremely frustrated and unsure **whether I should cut my losses or trust that his legal reasoning is sound** and proceed to move on with the case. **I would appreciate feedback on the strength of my claims, potential damages, and whether filing in Magistrate or Superior Court would be more appropriate for my case.** >**Case Information:** This case involves a breach of contract with elements of constructive eviction. >I was a tenant at an apartment complex from 2017 until December 2023. In March 2023, a new property management company took over the complex. In June 2023, I signed a new one-year lease under the new management. >Over the next eight months, I was improperly charged approximately $5,700 in various fees, including: >Late fees >Charges inconsistent with the lease terms >Early termination fees >I made several attempts to resolve the billing issues through documented communication (five emails), but the management did not correct the charges. >Due to ongoing safety concerns and unresolved billing issues, I chose to terminate my lease early in December 2023, sending certified letters to both the property and regional office. Unfortunately, the incorrect fees were eventually sent to collections, which negatively impacted my credit. >Safety Concerns / Constructive Eviction: Starting in June 2023, I reported multiple instances of loitering around my apartment, including one individual repeatedly sitting on my apartment steps and leaving trash. Despite repeated requests for increased security measures, no action was taken. >On October 31, 2023, a guest staying with me had their car stolen (police report filed). Residents living directly below me were implicated in the theft, and afterward, I experienced retaliatory behavior that made staying in the apartment unsafe. >

Long story short, I got a bcbs plan through the marketplace last month and I kept getting bills for $0.00 saying I needed to pay or my policy would be canceled. The first time I got a bill for that amount I went online and paid a penny. Then I got another bill for the same amount of $0.00. I figured it was nothing to worry about. Fast forward to today, I have a doctors appointment tomorrow, and I get hit with an email saying my policy with bcbs has been terminated due to non-payment. Non-payment of what? Nothing? Why?

I have a long winded question. I want to preface this by saying I am not into fraud. I am a public employee and can’t have any issues related to that. 3 years ago we had a bad hail storm in the Chicago area. We have a close friend who is an adjuster for a roofing company. We coach our kids together and he tells me “hey do you want a new roof?” He tells me everyone is getting approved after the bad hail storm. I have zero experience with this so I said “of course.” I figured that’s why I pay insurance and this guy said it so non-chalantly so I agreed to it. He comes over, looks at the roof and submits a claim. A week or two later he tells me that our insurance denied a new roof and only said they would cover $1,000 in repairs. In my mind it’s a win since we get repairs done. Fast forward a year later and we have another hail storm. Our friend says to me “this time you will definitely get a new roof.” Again, we have no idea this is an issue. He looks at our roof and submits a claim. A week later we get a call from our agent and they tell us they are likely going to drop us. This is where my wife and I panic and wonder “what the hell is going on?” We get the insurance to stop the claim and somehow they do stop it and we don’t get dropped and don’t get the repairs done. So far no issues but still we are very worried about it. Since then we have had a few roofing companies out and the prices are crazy. Like 12k just to repair and 25k to replace the whole roof. My question is this: Would you recommend that we replace the roof on our dime? We have the money to do it. This is what I’m leaning towards but what happens if we have a really bad storm with significant damage? Does State Farm drop us but still have to pay for the damages or replacement? I don’t want to replace the roof, have significant damage, and then State Farm says nope you’re dropped and we aren’t paying? OR, should I switch insurance companies before any work and then replace my roof anyway to lower the premium cost with a new insurance company? Insurance prices are ridiculous right now but state farm is still lower than any other insurance company I have had quotes from. Thank you for any advice you can provide. Edit: I agree with all the comments that the guy screwed me. I am aware that the claims follow me. I need to find an honest person who can tell me if I really need a roof replacement. If not, I’m willing to ride it out until I do actually need a replacement. The thought of doing it now came because in 5 years we will have 2 in college and one in high school. We figured we would take the expense now rather than in a few years when money is a bit tighter. Still unsure of what we will do. I don’t think I need a new roof immediately but I know it will be in the next 5-10 years.

Bought our townhome 3 years ago, had home inspection, etc. Home was built in 2011. Ryan Homes, should have known as they are known for being built terribly. Fast forward to now, looks like the corners of most window frames (wooden part) are rotting away. Again, this house was built in 2011! I now see when we bought it, the owners must have had the defects covered up with caulk and paint etc. Is this something home insurance would fix? I'm sure the building warranty is expired since it's been more than 10 years since it was built.

I was in a car accident yesterday. A person ran a red light as I was entering an intersection and ripped across the front of my car. Bumper cover was destroyed, and the hood won't open now. Unfortunately there were no witnesses (no one stopped, anyway), and the other person's insurance company (Allstate) says I'm at fault (I suspect the other driver lied about running the light). Is it worth the effort trying to sue for what is likely to be $10,000 or less in damage? Will it be possible to get an attorney to take such a small case?
