I went and got 4 estimates average price came around 3000$. The appraiser from progresive came and saw my car yesterday and wrote a estimate for 1280!!! I have a 2007 toyota matrix with 45000miles on it..He is putting after markets parts on in cuz its high miles,along with a used Rim from a junkyard for 95$…I called the manager and told him that your estimate is too low he said to take the car to a repair facility and have them fix it…My question is that I dont want to fix my car right now but i want to be paid fair price for the damages the it has caused. So how should I go about doing this. should I get a appraiser from my insurance company and have him appraise it…I basically want to keep the money that i deserve and fix the damages at some other time…

Was in a car accident with progrssive insurance policy holder?
Wednesday, November 25th, 2009I went and got 4 estimates average price came around 3000$. The appraiser from progresive came and saw my car yesterday and wrote a estimate for 1280!!!

Why did 0bama say the man who was turned down by insurance died when, in fact, he got the procedure done ?
Wednesday, November 25th, 2009…. paid for by the insurance company and HIS SISTER testified in front on Congress that the man lived an extra 3 1/2 years?
The stemcell-related procedure was done by one of the best doctors in the world. The man did not die because of waiting.
Why did 0bama lie to his supporters and America?
Also, 0bama says Alabama’s Blue Cross has 90% market share. Actually, it’s 75% (still big) BUT they have one of the highest customer satisfactions in the country AND they only made $0.60 on each $100 in premiums over the past decades. That is NOT outrageous.
They have some of the lowest administrative costs of any Blue Cross in America.
They have a large market share because they are EFFICIENT… just like when Bank of America and Citibank have large parts of the credit card market—- once you build the structure, processing more claims at that firm is more efficient than building another big company with the same computers.
How much revenue does the insurance company take from the Health Care industry in the form of profit ?
Saturday, November 21st, 2009….no doubt Health Insurance giants have been very profitable for a long time now….
Profit itself is not a bad thing, however GREED IS.
Now what if all of that profit went to Hospitals and doctors instead ?
WHY do we need Insurance companies ?
It seems to be they are the parasite on the entire industry ! ******* all of the revenue out of Health Care in the form of profit.
I’m all for free enterprise, free market capitalism,…but not when it’s at the expense of our country.
Forgive me, I just don’t see why we NEED a middleman to health care in the first place….
Health Care isn’t like, buying a soda….
When you get sick, you either go to the doctor or risk death. It’s not a luxury people can do without.
I got hit, now their insurance co. wants to pay me less for my car instead of fix it. help?
Friday, November 20th, 2009i need advise from people who’s been in the same situation urgently. i got hit in the rear of my car in November, the insurance company of the girl that hit me recognized responsability- problem is they declared my car a total loss and prefered to pay me what my car’s worth in the market right now instead of fixing it. i took the car to evaluate the damage and it’s almost $7000- and the isnurance co. wants to pay me less than $5000. can you tell them i want my car fixed, not ur -$5000??? thyey also said they might take my car, and give me even less than $5000 if i decide to keep it, which would leave me without a car and with very little money (i’m not gonna find a decent car for the money they’d give me, i like my van so much) i find it kind of unfair to be left without a car for someone else’s irresponsability (after all, she hit ME!)
can you force the insurance company to fix the car??? is it up to them to decide wether to fix it or to pay you what’s worth now???
HELP!
no, i didn’t get hurt in the accident. should i say i did? lol. i hear some people do exagerate a bit, but i don’t think thwy’ll buy it. it was in november 8th.
Should car insurance premium decrease as car depreciates?
Friday, November 13th, 2009OK, so if you keep your car for a long time you see a dramatic decrease in the fair market value of the car over the time you own it. It seems to me like after a certain amount of time, the cost to insure your vehicle (comprehensive coverage only) should decrease as the cars value decreases because if you do have a loss the cost to replace the vehicle would be much less than when it was new.
Both my cars are worth less than half they were when first purchased. When I contact the insurance company, they act like they do not understand this simple concept. Why would a $10,000 car cost the same to insure as it did when it was $25,000?? Does this make sense to anybody???
What companies are still insuring unoccupied and or second homes?
Sunday, August 30th, 2009This seems to be a new trend. It seems that insurance companies are canceling Homeowner’s policies of their customers who are selling their homes! Once the client has to move out to their new home the insurance company cancels the policy on the home that’s still for sale. This is being done even if the customer has been a client for over 30 years and is using that company for the new home! Sellers are having a rough enough time with the real estate market these days!
What can be done about this? Also suppose the seller decides not to sell but keep the home as a vacation spot? Are second homes being uninsured also?
How do I calculate the diminished value of my car after an accident?
Thursday, August 27th, 2009My new car was recently in a very bad accident. The car is a Nissan Altima SL and has 7000 miles on it. I did some after- market upgrades to the car, (tinted windows, sound system, satellite radio). The damages to my car totaled $14,000 in repairs to the front end and I need the insurance company to compensate me for the diminished value of the car. How exactly does one calculate diminished value. I paid $29,000 for the car 4 months ago.
When can you take a capital loss on worthless stock?
Tuesday, August 25th, 2009Individuals own stock in a holding company whose sole asset is an insurance company which is going into receivership today. The stock is worthless today, as there is no market it and the shareholders won’t see a dime, but it won’t actually be disolved for a year or two. Can we take the loss this year? Or do we have to wait for the formal disolution to be completed?
