How long does it take to get an insurance check from a car accident? A buy backed into me in a parking lot.?

Question

Will the insurance company investigate?

Answer 1

It will take several months but you need to contact his insurance agency and have your damages assessed. That is the next step. They will tell you what to do from there.

Answer 2

October 3rd a woman hit my van from behind doing 50 mph while I was at a red light. The insurance company inspected the vehicle at the body shop. I had a check for total loss from her insurance company exactly 2 weeks later, on October 17. You should call that other person's insurance company and ask them the status of your claim.

Answer 3

If it was a hit and run, your company should pay you as soon as you can get hold or a settler, the guy who calculates how much to pay for the damage. He or she is usually the same person to write your check, unless the insurance company does not work that way. If that is the case, then you should get your check in the mail in just the amount of time that it takes to mail it from the central office to your place. If it takes any longer than that, you should go yell at the person who takes your money every month.

Answer 4

It depends on the company. Shouldn't take more than four weeks, but it is in the interst of these companies to keep the money as long as they can, since it earns interest for them in the bank, or they could be having a cash-flow problems.

In the final analysis it is always good for any company to practice good customer relations since word get around.

Answer 5

Depends on the circumstances. If there's no contested fault, the other guy is 100% at fault, and there isn't a coverage issue, it can be 48 hours from the time your estimates go in.

If fault is being contested, or if the other guy was an excluded operator, it can be never.

Answer 6

for a bonified claim by reputable companies you should have your check within 72 hrs, make sure that you have filed in a timely manner with your own company carrier, and dont leave anything out, get copies of all paperwork, the names of whom uou talked to on the phone and when, you`ll need all of that info if any thing goes amiss.

Answer 7

Depends on your insurance carrier on how long it will take, and yes, most times they do investigate.

Answer 8

I had mine within 3 weeks of accident but they wrote off my car
