In October, however, I will be looking for another insurance company.

I hired a mean and nasty Attorney when a GEICO insured driver rear ended my motorcycle, then GEICO refused to pay.

Case took over a year to settle, but I accepted a nice $10K settlement, after lawyers cut, from GEICO.

Bastards could have settle for around $1,000 to fix the bike.

The bad news: My insurance company (AAA) totally sucks. They have done absolutely zero -- which, so far, has been fine. Progressive seems to be doing what needs to be done (getting our vehicle fixed quickly), so I haven't needed them (although some guidance would have been nice).

However, we got a letter in the mail from them about our "claim". We called and asked what claim they were talking about. The adjuster told us it referred to the claim they were handling for us. We pointed out that all we did was notify them that we'd been in an accident (which is what their insurance card said to do), but we never opened a claim and they certainly hadn't done anything for us. They said they'd close their file, but hemmed and hawed when I asked if having a "claim" would result in our premium increasing.

I'm taking that as a 'Yes'. So, even though the other driver was 100% at fault and AAA has paid nothing and done nothing, it looks like they will use this as an excuse to increase my rates when my policy comes up for renewal in November.
