I understand your concern about being "forced" to add someone to your policy, especially when it's your own car and the other person DOES NOT drive your car. However, you can imagine the insurance company's concern that he still could have access to your keys and there is a... Read more »

Hard to see how someone else affects your renters insurance but nothing you have posted appears to be unlawful. Also is very hard to see why you would elect suicide over just moving elsewhere. You would likely be better served to focus your efforts on getting adequate counseling and care rather... Read more »

You must have a basis to sue your insurance company. You cannot sue your car company merely for asking for documentation to support a claim you are making. To answer this question, more context is needed. What is the underlying claim you are making that would entitle you to insurance coverage?... Read more »

At first they told me they were going to deny it. The next day they said they would partially approve it. The day after that, they said that they again said they were going to deny it.

I informed my insurance company to base the new damage on the old claim. They said it's a new claim. I have a $4500 deductible. What is my best approach?

My insurance company said since my car engine blew up and was not drivable to cancel my policy? Is that correct?
answered on May 14, 2023
An Oregon attorney could advise best, but your question remains open for two weeks. It isn't clear what is at stake in the distinction you ask about, whether the policy was cancelled for non-payment or the car being undrivable. Either way, it sounds like the vehicle was not on the road. If... Read more »

Yes, they can require this. If you review your policy I can guarantee you there is a clause that says you have to cooperate with your carrier, and that you must submit to what we call an IME.

Thank you for the question. I hope that this man will get help soon to prevent a death. It seems like there must be much more to the story raised in the question.

answered on Apr 8, 2020
Because that is how it works until you settle with the insurer for the at-fault party. That insurer has no obligation to pay you anything until you settle or take them to court. This is why PIP exists, so you can get medical care and lost income while you wait to be able to settle with the other... Read more »

answered on Dec 14, 2019
One possibility, if the apartment is willing, would be to look into whether their policy would cover the loss. They are likely to have a more comprehensive policy that covers a greater range of losses. However, choosing which route they would use to pursue recovery is something in their hands. Good...

They want proof of ownership. How you work that is up to you. However, the issue is what the value is.
Likewise on #2. Unless your policy has replacement value you don't get it in most states.
