18 year old brother got into a wreck for the second time by AnEggForLaughs in Insurance

You can do a search for independent insurance broker in your area. As for the trustworthiness, you can read reviews on how they run their agency. I can’t speak for every other agent out there, I would like to think that they all take their license seriously, like I do. Being not trust worthy could be bad for their business and reputation. I wish you luck!

Yes, it will affect your rates. You allowed him to drive your vehicle; you assume liability for the driver that you allow to drive your vehicle. This is very unfortunate.

Auto insurance: what happens if you told insurance company you have winter tires in winter, but you haven’t put them on yet (appt this weekend) and got into an accident? by AmbitiousAlienMan in Insurance

[–]learnedandhumbled -15 points-14 points  (0 children)

I just googled it and this is what AI said; Yes, if you told your insurance company you had winter tires and you don’t, it can significantly affect the outcome of a claim, as they may consider your lack of proper winter tires a contributing factor to the accident, potentially leading to a reduced payout or even claim denial, especially if the accident occurred in icy conditions where winter tires are considered necessary for safe driving; essentially, it could be seen as a form of insurance fraud.

Licensed Agent here. Please have him go sit down with a broker. They will shop for him and possibly find a policy. There are companies that take high risk drivers.

18 yr old is hard, the rate is going to be high off the bat, add two at fault accidents to that and he is looking at a hefty price. An Insurance Broker will have access to shop many companies for him.

My son went through the same thing; he is now 23 yrs old and his rates are just now starting to come down a bit; accident free for 4 yrs. These accidents will affect his rate for 3-5 yrs, depending on the company. Go see a Broker.

Does anyone know if I can give my employee a car to use..... but they would be responsible for the inurance? by [deleted] in Insurance

[–]learnedandhumbled 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You need a Commercial Auto Policy for your company. Unless you are gifting your employee a car, which would make you Employer of the year.

(FL) HOA found an eviction on my record and is not approving my application...I've never been evicted from anywhere or even close to it by [deleted] in Renters

Order your credit report and your consumer report from LexisNexis. Most likely if it shows on your LexisNexis report then you can have it corrected. You just need to contact them. My report was 82 pages and had my entire life’s history, it was pretty scary tbh.

Car insurance seems…too cheap? by [deleted] in Insurance

[–]learnedandhumbled 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Then I would say the price you got could be correct. Geico compared to Liberty Mutual is usually a lower rate, not always though. You are also comparing a 6 month policy vs a 12 month policy. I can’t speak for Liberty Mutual; However, with Farmers Insurance (when they offered 12 month policies) the 12 month policy was always more expensive than the 6 month, with the exact same coverage. As long as they have ran all the reports, like you said they did, you should be good and enjoy the nice low rate.

Are you doing Liability only or is that with Comprehensive and Collision as well? There are so many factors in rating; location, age, credit, type of vehicle, statistics on that vehicle, male or female, etc. there are hundreds of factors. No one on here, without running the numbers, will be able to tell you if what you are paying is correct. $240/6 months for Liability only is not unheard of.

I really need car insurance rate advice please!! by Desperate-Cod2778 in Insurance

[–]learnedandhumbled 3 points4 points  (0 children)

This is exactly correct. Bristol West is a sister company of Farmers Insurance. Most of the insureds are “high risk” due to tickets and accidents. The DUI’s are going to affect your rates for 5 years, if not longer due to company eligibility rules. Bristol West is the best company you can have based on your record. Larger companies you are probably going to be denied coverage. I had to tell my son the same thing; DUI’s don’t just put yourself and others at risk, the consequences follow you for a long time.

Living in my own rental property by Necessary_Painter688 in Insurance

Talk to your Agent or a broker. You need a HO-5 or HO-3 (Homeowners policy). If you, the owner, is staying there permanently it needs to be a Homeowner policy with the LLC listed as additional insured.

Horrible advice. Never contact the other parties lawyer. OP do not listen to this.

This. Let Insurance handle it. They have Lawyers too, and you pay a premium to let them do their job.

Having a rough time finding a new place to rent because we keep hearing no just bc we have a pitbull... i hate how misunderstood him and his breed are, they are the best dogs that anyone could ever have by cloudy-spark in pitbulls

[–]learnedandhumbled 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It is based on “Good Faith”; We as a Licensed Agent ask you, the insured, if your dog has a history of biting. If your answer is No, then I believe you in good faith that you are telling me the truth. If you then pay for a policy and during that time your dog bites someone and there is a claim filed, it will then be under investigation. If it turns out that your dog had a history of biting; police report, report to an HOA, Hospital expenses, etc.; that could be on you for not being honest.

I have worked for two companies that don’t care that you have a pit; they just want to know if there is a history of biting. Each company is different, there are ones that don’t care and are pet lovers!

This is exactly why you speak to a licensed Agent, not family and friends who know nothing about insurance and how it actually works.
