Your state should have a division or department of insurance. You can find them in the blue pages of the phone book, or do a Google search via the web for your state. If the complaint is against your own carrier, the division of insurance can probably help you. If you're making a complaint against another person's insurance carrier, don't hold your breath for results. The division of insurance in your state probably can't influence liability decisions, nor can they force a carrier to change, say, total loss settlements. go on the web to doi. this is the department of insurance. they are very helpful & you can file a complaint on-line w/them. they are for the consumer. they are not biased toward the insurance companies. i have gotten great results w/them.
The department of insurance for your state.
No. Only the State can bring a criminal charge against someone. It is doubtful that the Insurance Company would even have standing to file a complaint in such a matter.
If you feel you haven't been treated fairly, I would file a complaint with your state insurance company or have your lawyer do it.
They would usually go to the insurance company. If they did, I would refer them to your carrier.
No, since the insurance company would have been damaged by the act, not you. You have no standing to sue. On the other hand, your insurance company can sue- and can pursue criminal charges.
Anytime you make a claim with your own insurance company against someone else's company or their company directly, the company taking the claim by law has to fully verify and investigate the claim being made. Not only that, no insurance company in their right mind would pay out insurance claims without checking them out first.
The insurance industry is the largest non-federally regulated industry in the US. Since the Federal Government does not regulate it, filing a complaint with the FTC would do you no good. Any complaint should be filed with your State Insurance Commissioner's office.
Against WHO?
An insurance company cannot drop you in the middle of a claim. The state department of insurance sets standards for how long it takes for the insurance company to respond to a claim, and to issue payment once damage is verified. If they have stopped contact with you and have not given you a reason I would contact your state department of insurance and file a complaint.
Start by making a complaint against their employer. If you want to file a complaint with the state you would complain to the State Board of Pharmacy.
In all likliehood - your insurance company would pay to repair your dwelling and then they would take action (called "subrogation") against your neighbors insurance company to collect from their insuror.
I would start with the Better Business Bureau since they are the ones that will help you get an result with the company.
