Yes and no. Insurance companies do not raise your rate because you filed a claim (this only applies to "Act of God" claims). Any claim related to weather like hail, wind, flood, tornado, etc. It's called a pooling effect, so if X# of people file a claim in your area everyone's rates go up whether you file a claim or not. Insurance companies do not raise your rate just because you filed a claim. Now, they can drop you for any reason they want, but are not likely to drop you because of an Act of God claim. If they drop you because you filed an Act of God claim, then you should definitely find a new insurance company.

The definition for an "Act of God" varies from state to state and then from one insurance company to another. A good general definition of this phrase though is given by the Maryland Insurance Administration (MIA) site which states that an Act of God is a natural occurrence beyond human control or influence. Such acts of nature include hurricanes, earthquakes, and floods. As an example the MD insurance regulator website notes that a snow storm is an act of God but driving in a snow storm is an act of man or woman or teenager.

So in general the situation you described would be considered your fault and not an Act of God since you failed to control the car door. Though in strong winds it can be difficult to control a car door, if it gets away liability laws usually see this as negligence on your part, thus leaving you liable. An Act of God or an Act of Nature basically refers to a natural event, not preventable by any human agency, such as flood, storms, or lightning. These forces of nature a person has no control over, and therefore cannot be held accountable but opening a door while it is windy out is an act of a person and thus would found to be your fault normally. Since you could be held at fault than the car owner of the damaged car could place a claim against your Property Damage Liability coverage for the cost of the repairs due to your car door hitting their vehicle, if that is what happened in your situation.

No, it generally needs to be an "act of God" The contractor should have insurance that would cover it. If you did it, you are SOL. 4lifeguild If the tree fell because of a contractor, they should be bonded and insured (therefore will pay for all damages).

If the deductable is $1000 and it costs $1200 to fix it, then it wouldn't be worth filing a $200 claim. Your rates go up by as much as 30% when you file any claim. Do the math and decide for yourself which is the best plan of action.
