| 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 | Does hitting a fixed object cause my premium to rise? This type of claim would be considered a collision claim, which usually causes your premium to rise. In New Jersey, at-fault collision claims caused premiums to rise by an average of $1200. Why do I have to keep insurance on my old car if I'm not using it?It really has more to do with the fact that you still have the vehicle registered in your name. New Jersey monitors whether or not vehicles registered in the state are also insured. Why did The General cancel my car insurance?Insurance companies in many states have up to 60 days from the start date to cancel a policy without providing a reason for doing so. In most cases, this has to do with some sort of potential fraud or an inaccuracy on your application. Is car insurance mandatory in New Jersey if a person no longer uses their car to drive?Here is a link a post that should answer your question. In New Jersey, you aren't required to maintain insurance coverage on a vehicle you are no longer driving, but the tags for your vehicle will need to be returned to the state. See More Questions |
