| Recent Questions | Can my new insurer cover a bodily injury claim made against me from my past accident when I was covered by a different company? Unfortunately, State Farm will not handle your recent bodily injury claim since you no longer have a policy with them. Progressive would be the one to handle that claim since that is your current active plan. My car was towed by an apartment complex, will State Farm reimburse me for the towing cost?Roadside assistance covers towing but it won't cover your car being towed by someone else. Your insurance company will not cover the cost of your car being towed from parking in the wrong location. What could be the reason State Farm increased my premium?Since it is policy-specific, State Farm will be the only one who can answer why the rate increased by 39%. I am not aware of any insurance law in California that would cause an increase of 39%. I started a claim but canceled it with no payout. Why is it on my CLUE report?Unfortunately, if you start the claims process, the insurance company can list it on your CLUE report through LexisNexis which contains your claims history — even if there was no payout or resolution. You can dispute with State Farm to see if they will remove it, but at this point, that is really the only option which is definitely frustrating. See More Questions | Will my insurance company cover my vehicle if my cousin was driving my car? Insurance follows the vehicle, so if you have collision coverage on your vehicle then your insurance company should cover the damage. You will need to contact them to confirm and begin the claims process. If I claim my injuries after an accident, will that make my rates higher?Since North Carolina does not fall into the No Fault state category, filing an injury claim is less likely to impact your future rates but that's not exactly guaranteed. You can always shop for a new policy down the road if you do see an increase, but since you weren't actually injured you could always discuss the details with your insurance company and they can advise you of your options. Should I cancel my policy if I sold my vehicle and won't be getting another car for a month?<span data-sheets-value="{"1":2,"2":"Canceling your auto insurance when you sell a vehicle sounds like a good idea until you realize the potential pitfalls of doing so. While it may not make sense to maintain auto insurance when you no longer own a vehicle, consider the fact that you still have to have insurance to test drive a vehicle that you are thinking about purchasing. How much do car insurance rates go up after a DUI?<span data-sheets-value="{"1":2,"2":"Unfortunately there is no way to provide an accurate number or percentage due to the fact that there are so many variables when pricing insurance. One thing to keep in mind is that if he is already insured then the chance of his insurance company finding out about the violation are slim to none. See More Questions |
