Can the secondary insurance provider deny a claim that was not filed with the primary insurance provider first?

Let me tell you what happend to me. I hope that this helps. I used to be covered by two insurance companies. My primary insurance company was through the company that I worked with. My secondary was with the company that my husband works with. When a claim was filed with my secondary insurance company they wanted to know how much my primary insurance company paid for and until then they would not pay anything. So I had to submit to my primary insurance company and once they paid some then the secondary would. I hope that this helped:) * Yes. A claim must always be made with the primary insurer first.


Is it worth filing a claim if the total bill is only 300 above your deductible?

It is not worth it. Once you file a claim, your insurance premiums will increase for a couple of years. You should talk to your agent to see how long premiums will increase for and how much your increase will be. I would not file an insurance claim to get back $300. If it was over $1000, it might be worth it.


If someone sues my car insurance company and receives a settlement how will I know?

Will your homeowners insurance go up if you file a claim?

Usually not. Most companies do not rate up for a claim. However, at this time it is very hard to get homeowners insurance at a good rate if you are cancelled by another company or if you have claims it is hard to move to another company. Insurance goes in cycles. For the past few years insurance companies have been loosing money on homeowners insurance so they have become much more careful with their underwriting. It is easier to get car insurance than home insurance. Most companies will not even write home insurance unless you also give them your auto insurance.


Can you be charged by your insurance because they paid out too much?

Yes, If your insurance company determines that they overpaid or were overcharged on a claim they can request or even demand repayment.


Shaw capital management asks Why does insurance costs so much?

It boils down to one word: risk. To an insurance company, you are a collection of risks. Your gender, your age, your marital status, and what neighborhood you live in all contribute to an insurer's prediction of whether you'll file a claim.


If your truck and bike were stolen from your driveway will your rates increase if you file a claim with your homeowner's insurance?

Homeowner's insurance does not cover that type of loss.AnswerAny time you file a claim with either auto or homeowners insurance, your rates increase. If it costs more to replace the items than the rate increase, then file the claim. Ask your insurance company how much extra you will pay and for how long, do the math and see for yourself. While homeowner's insurance won't cover your truck if stolen (that's what comprehensive coverage under auto insurance is for), it will cover your bike if stolen from your driveway. But that is subject to your deductible and if it is a typical deductible (like $1000) it won't make any sense to even make the claim.And when you do file, you now become a higher risk so you have the possibility of getting higher rates but that totally depends on your insurer and your loss history.
