Hello all, I was involved in a crash Saturday night around 11PM. I was in the backseat of an uber with two friends when the uber driver allegedly ran a red light (according to the other people involved in the crash) and we got in a pretty violent accident. Luckily everyone in the uber walked away unharmed expect for me. I dislocated my finger (it was sideways after the crash) , and I walked into the hospital ER (we crashed a 5 minute walk from a big hospital in our city). I was treated and had it put back into place, and now have a follow up tomorrow. I am expecting this will continue to affect me for months. I am a student, starting grad school to become a physician assistant in August. This is going to affect me in school as I will struggle to type and struggle to be able to learn the hands on clinical skills for at least first first part of the semester. This has so far been extremely painful and I am only beginning to know the extent of medical treatment I will need and recovery timeline. This was also an extremely traumatizing and upsetting experience for me. After the accident, police were called and they spoke to me and the other riders at the hospital. I also believe the other people in the crash filed a report too. When I got home from the ER I spoke with uber and reported everything and their insurance is supposed to reach out to me. I already provided my ER discharge papers and pictures of the injury. What are the next steps here? Do I just wait to hear from uber? Also, what are my chances of receiving real compensation for my pain and suffering (like a couple thousand? Or should I expect less than that?) Thank you

Back in 2023/2024 we had a tree brand fall on the A frame of our Highlander. We called state farm, they decided after an assessment a repair would do the trick. They wouldn’t let us use Toyota without paying 50% out of pocket. So we ended up using their preferred shop. Long story short, the replaced the windshield and “repaired” the A frame. It was still leaking and we went back, they “repaired it again” and it was fine (minus the water stains on the head liner). It’s been about 16 months or so, and it is leaking again. No additional accidents or anything. My wife and I are incredible tired of dealing with this. Anyone have any tips on dealing with state farm for this situation? The value of the Highlander went down 10K just from the accident alone which is crazy state farm wouldn’t give us compensation for(IMO). We honestly would prefer to have a new Camry or something at this point and not worry about mold, stains, or possible leaks again. TIA.

Terrible company. Find any excuse, especially bogus "pre-existing conditions" to avoid any reimbursement. Avoid and look elsewhere unless you want to waste time on the phone appealing denials to no avail.

Hello everyone, I have a question. I was recently involved in a not-at-fault accident with an Allstate-insured driver. Unfortunately, my own insurance canceled the night before the accident, so I did not have PIP coverage. Allstate has informed me that I’m responsible for a $7,400 medical bill, despite them reserving $5,500 for future medical expenses related to the accident. If they have funds set aside for medical expenses, why can’t those be applied to the existing bills? I do not feel they are actuinh in good faith. Would it be advisable to seek legal assistance at this point? Thank you for any insights.

Here it is, the Healthy Paws rate filing so you do not need to struggle to find it. HP requested a 44.8% increase... and got it approved. (Remember, the last several years already had similar increases). Still doesn't answer how I got a 180% increase, so sit tight... Taking my case aside, let it sink in: They asked for, and got, a 44.8% increase. Vet costs, even in CA, went up that much in a year huh? So remember when they spit out the canned response online of: *In accordance with the terms of the Policy and the associated rating rules, monthly premiums may change for all policyholders. Premiums are determined based on the rates and rating rules filed with and approved by (where required) each states insurance regulator. Premiums reflect the cost of treatment advances in veterinary medicine, characteristics of the individual pet, and other factors, in addition to the overall claims experience for the program within the region where the pet resides. Please note that premiums are not based on a given pets individual claim history; rather, premiums are based on the collective experience of all pets insured. We do our best to be transparent regarding annual premium increases by including this information on the "Frequently Asked Questions" page of our website. The Healthy Paws Team* remember: 1) THEY.ASKED.FOR.THESE.INCREASES. They then use this corporate jargon to say it went up in accordance with the rate filing (WHICH.THEY.ASKED.FOR). 2) The "transparency" is not transparent. Look how much digging one had to do to find the above screenshot, when all their FAQs again say: Will my premiums increase? In accordance with the terms of the Pet Health Insurance Policy and the associated rating rules, monthly premiums may change for all policyholders. Premiums are determined based on the rates and rating rules filed with and approved by (as applicable), each state's insurance regulator, which reflect the cost of treatment advances in veterinary medicine, individual pet's breed, gender, age, and other factors, in addition to the overall claims experience for the program within the region where the pet resides. Premium increases are not based on your individual claim submissions.

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?

My State Farm agent wasnt much help. The two of us have two old cars, fully insured, for about $105 a month. We are thinking of adding a third similar old car, but driving no more than before. We will mostly let one car rest and use it only for holidays as needed, perhaps once a month. So we pay about $50 a month for each car. Would the next car also cost about $50 a month, or much lower, since we will be greatly reducing the amount we drive on the other car. Same total mileage as with two cars.

Anyone currently enrolled in TBL please be aware they have changed how they are "insuring" retired first responders and their families. We have filed a complaint with the Ohio board of insurance. They have changed our plans without giving us the option of deciding if it's how we want to be covered. They have changed what medications will be covered and how our providers will be paid.

I have a question about prior authorization. I am trying to get one of the weight loss meds like wegovy, zepbound etc. I had several appts with my primary care Dr and she informed me she would try but that most likely insurance wouldn't cover it. The Dr office called me today to tell me about bloodwork, etc and informed me I should call my insurance provider and ask if it would be covered. I did that, with blue cross blue shield, and the lady on the phone was extremely helpful. She informed me ozempic and something else wouldn't be covered but wegovy and zepbound are and she would need prior authorization. She put me on hold to call my Dr, then when she got back on the line she said the Dr would not do prior authorization. She also informed me I should find a new Doc because your Dr is supposed to help you. My question is why would my Dr then deny it after asking me to call and see if it's covered and it was? I'm just confused. Thank you for any insight.

Hi guys. I just needed help on getting my '90+ day' delinquent mark removed. I had a 3k loan that I completely forgot about during covid since it has been paused and one day woke up learning that my loan was transferred to edfinancial in Jan and that my credit dropped by a 100+ points as of 2 days ago. I got zero warnings, no 30 day or 60 day notification. My credit report says that this is the only missed payment. I own a home and car so I'm not desperate to fix my credit but feel like it's unfair for me to ruin my credit for a simple miscommunication. I called Edfinancial and they are not budging. I got the same agent twice on two different days lol. I guess they got their money and don't want to deal with me any longer. My question is can I dispute this with the 3 main credit bureaus? I'm not even sure how to even word the dispute as I'm so confused.
