A Michigan attorney could answer best, but your question remains open for two weeks. It could depend on the context. In some cases, the paperwork can include legal filings to place a denied claim into suit if an insurance carrier will not pay a legitimate claim. But this is only a general... View More 
Was wondering if this is a violation of any laws and if it is can I do anything about it

A Michigan attorney could advise best, but your question remains open for a week. It's possible it could involve HIPAA laws - you could try to set up a free initial consult with health care attorneys or repost and include that category. Good luck
clean up company already started cleaning the basement and removing drywall and demolition has started, but now the insurance company will no longer cover the cost.

You need to talk with an attorney focused on insurance. It will matter whether claim was approved and for what work.
My medical insurance company has a contract with a company that provide transportation and other services. The company has failed to provide over twenty rides to the doctor and physical therapy appointments. Can they be liable or held accountable for not accommodating.

Until you're able to speak with a local attorney to figure out if you have a case that's cost-effective to pursue, you could review your insurance policy to make certain of what it covers.

Sued by a local city in Michigan for an Ambulance trip. That was never billed to insurance. But billed to my insurance on many other trips before and after this one. Was told that the time period to submit passed and I owed them, even though they never filed a claim to begin with. Even though they... View More

The thieves broke off both my locks and put their own locks on so I couldn't get into my storage. The storage company siding with the insurance company which I pay insurance on my storage monthly. My claim was denied.

What exactly is your question?
I can’t imagine a storage company ‘siding with’ anyone. Had you paid your storage bill? The scenario is unclear.
If you didn’t pay your bill they COUKD have auctioned off you’d stuff for back rent and Re rented the unit to someone else who... View More

Probably not. Look, insurance is a business. It is probably not worth their while to fully investigate what might have happened, especially when clearly, the insurance company is paying a claim anyway, just to save a few bucks.
It is pre-arranged; insurance companies are most collision... View More

A Michigan attorney could advise best, but your question remains open for three weeks. Until you have a meaningful consult with a local attorney as to state insurance law requirements, something like this might depend on the individual policy. Nationwide, state laws do standardize certain aspects... View More

Have you submitted a written 'punch list' of items to be fixed/finished?
Or have you made the final payment accepting the property as is?
If the later, you may have a hard time.
It is hard to say what you should do next without also knowing what you have done so... View More

Workers comp claims take awhile. Your attorney probably knows very well the timeline and process. You could consult with another workers comp attorney, but they may tell you the same.

A Michigan attorney could answer best, but your question remains open for five weeks. It could depend on the terms of the rental agreement, and possibly subsequent communications.

If you're asking as an agent, it might be best to comply with standard operating procedures provided in company handbooks. Even though the industry is fairly transparent and everyone knows each other's product lines and pricing, following company protocols is the best bet. Good luck

You could ask for one if there is something very acrimonious in the chemistry in your working relationship. But for the most part, the role of a claim rep is adversarial to the claimant. The claim rep is not there to be a mentor or friend. Claim reps are highly intelligent, analytical, and... View More
The sales rep at the dealership called an insurance agent for me, I've been paying for insurance but i don't have a real policy.
answered on Oct 18, 2019
A Michigan attorney could answer best, but your post remains open for four weeks. Contact the agent. Any licensed, reputable agent would take urgent steps to correct the matter. If there will be problems in setting up coverage with them, seek alternate insurance. By now, you've probably... View More

If your auto loan has a provision permitting forced-placed insurance it is likely legal and enforceable. Did you let your insurance policy lapse? Or did you not carry the minimum amount of coverage called for in the contract? If so, the CU may be able to force it. I would have to read the contract... View More

If you told them "I don't know" and they pressed you to provide an answer anyway, they are probably not to be trusted.

No one was hurt, or there at the time. We were coming home from vacation, and have a hunch who may have done this, but no real proof. Not enough, anyway, but to me, it checks out. Just not to police.
