Hello, I am shopping for a new insurance provider for my vehicles. I am open for all suggestions. My son's Honda was recently hit in a parking lot while he was inside waitiing tables. The guy stopped and did the right thing. The claims process, however, was ridiculous. My current provider wanted to handle the claim online and use their phone app for picture uploads and communication. It was a cluster "F" from the get go. The right hand never knew what the left hand was doing and I was left playing the middle man between the body shop and my provider. His car sat in the body shop for over a week untouched because they claimed to not have sufficient pictures of the damage. I finally submitted a corporate escalation and things started happening quickly. I heard a bunch of COVID related excuses (people working from home, adjusters contracted out etc). Needless to say, I had to pay the deductible and hope that the OP insurance was legit and paid and only then, would I be reimbursed. I guess that is standard these days but I still thought that was $hitty leaving me on the hook in hopes that they can recover damages.
Long story short, I spent too much of my personal time orchestrating the whole ordeal and expected a smooth process for the amount of money we pay. Am I expecting too much and this is how it is now or I am justifed in expecting to make a phone call and told to simply "drop it off and we will handle it from here?"
