My truck was damaged by a collision with a deer. StateFarm paid to repair the truck. StateFarm only paid 1/4 of the cost of reapplying a dealer-installed paint sealant.

If State Farm is your own insurance company, you can sue them for breach of contract. If State Farm is the insurance company for the other driver who was negligent, you can sue the other driver for the money.

Why would a insurance company breach a settlement agreement?? I settled a property damage claim with an insurance company. Property damage 60k Personal property also 60k. Under the settlement agreement they had to do work on my condo to make the condo watertight, hiring an engineer for... Read more »
If you do not have an attorney, then I certainly recommend that you hire one at this time to assist your in either enforcing the settlement agreement and/or reaching an alternate resolution-----a lot of times the insurance company will not proceed accordingly without an attorney on the other side.
the insurance company is trying to subrogate against me for almost 20k and are not willing to work out payment plans under $900+ per month, which i’m unable to afford. Also, the other driver was my neighbor at the time and he only had his bumper and tailgate replaced as a result of the accident,... Read more »
Bankruptcy. Talk to a bankruptcy attorney. You may qualify for a full discharge under Chapter 7 or a 3-5 year payment plan for a portion of the debt with small payments under a Chapter 13, and then discharge the balance. If the insurance company hasn't obtained a court judgment against you... Read more »
Auto finance company has consistently failed to provide all necessary documents needed by the GAP insurance company to settle a claim and pay off the balance on the car note. I am being billed for payments for a car that was declared totaled in an accident by my insurance company. This has gone on... Read more »
You should speak with an attorney. The auto finance company may be having some internal issues that you do not know about. Additionally, because you're paying on a vehicle that is totaled, the finance company is causing you to incur economic damages which you may be able to recover.
My benefits and payroll are administered by a 3rd party (Gusto). Their ‘employee dashboard’, or portal, or whatever verbiage they use for their online thing, shows me as covered. However, when I attempted to add my wife to my coverage, I learned that I was no longer insured.
My... Read more »
Have you raised the issue with your employer or with Gusto to see if the discontinuation of your health insurance was an error? If you cannot get the issue corrected, you may have a claim under the Employee Retirement Income Security Act (ERISA) and should contact an attorney in your area to... Read more »

You cannot sue the other driver’s insurance company for anything. You can only sue the driver. The driver’s contract with his/her insurance carrier has nothing to do with you. Their insurance company’s only obligation is to pay any judgment you obtain against their insured driver. The only... Read more »
There were no signs, fire hydrant, or fire lane marked. Have hospital's video of my car being hit.
No. Confirm they are not paying in writing. Then file a complaint with the Attorney General Office of Consumer Affairs and with the Insurance Commissioner.

File a complaint with the Maryland Insurance Administration. If you go through their online complaint process, you get more information. (They probably won't actually do anything. But they'll get you straight answers.)
I have two cars insured under two different auto policies. Both policies are with the same company. I was backing out of my driveway (car #1) and rear-ended the other car (car #2). I own both cars. There was minor damage to the car I was driving (#1) and I am not making a claim on that one.... Read more »
The language has to be in the policy. Demand that your insurance agent provide you with the exact provision that precludes your claim. In my experience, however, insured owners generally cannot recover for their own negligence under their policy, with collision coverage being the only insurance... Read more »
There are different bases for bad faith, whether first party or third party. There also are two different approaches. One is under Title 27 of the Insurance Code - Unfair Trade Practices and Other Prohibited Practices. The other is under § 3-1701 of the Courts & Judicial Proceedings Article,... Read more »
Intersection accident, I had a flashing red, he had a flashing yellow.

His insurance company has denied... Read more »
It sounds like you were an excluded operator on your family's policy. That means your family's policy on the car will not cover you. If you had another policy, (i.e. you also own a car and that car has insurance) then it may under some circumstances provide coverage. But that sounds... Read more »

Who’s policy limits, yours or the at-fault party’s? So long as you have not settled with and released the at-fault party from the claim, you can sue the at-fault party; however, any recovery you received under your own policy must be reimbursed first out of money recovered from the at-fault...

After I registered at a lab for several blood tests, I was told that they could do all tests except for the Sickle Cell screening. I already registered before they told me that, meaning I was already obligated to pay them. One of my issues is that, by offering all other tests except the Sickle Cell... Read more »
I don't think this is a medical malpractice case. Did you call the lab and tell them you no longer want to take the test and explain why? I doubt they would hold your feet to the fire if you have not yet taken the test.
I have an order from the wcc for a temp. Partial dis.+ a perm. Part. Dis. Plus have filed penalties for them not refusing to open a claim. However there is still no action being taken by the company/ thier ins. Company to open a claim at all. What is the next step if they continue to refuse payment... Read more »
It does not appear that you are represented by counsel. The the fact that you are at this stage, with the various orders you indicated, but without any worker's compensation benefits to show for it, suggests to me that perhaps it is time to change that plan of action. Many WC lawyers offer... Read more »

In October, while our family has been dealing with an acute medical emergency out of state (in North Carolina), an... Read more »
The key is going to be in the policy language. I think you may have something to go on here. It is probably going to depend on how long you were in North Carolina. But I can't imagine the policy reads to suggest that you actually have to be on the premises and cannot take a sojourn out fo... Read more »
