Should you file a claim with your insurance?

It all depends. I personally only file a claim if it's going to cost significantly more than my deductible, is worth the effort to fix it, and I'm ready for my insurance premium to increase.

If you are careful about how many claims you make and how often, you should be ok. Also, a comprehensive claim on your auto is judged less harshly than a collision claim. Accidents are the biggest increase of premium usually. If it's a towing claim, or a small (under 1000) comprehensive it's not too bad. With homes, the risk is higher to be cancelled at renewal if you put in a claim. Make sure it's worth the increase of premium for the next 5 years. That's how long a claim stays on a CLUE report.

Good Luck! Hope that helped a little!!! :)

Can you file a claim against a person with no insurance?

You can file a claim against your insurance company for an action caused by another person with no insurance if you are covered for such an occurance. An example would be if you had uninsured motorist coverage and were hit by someone without auto insurance. However if you want to file a 'claim' against the person directly who has no insurance there is no one to file the claim against. The only alternative here is to sue the person in court.
