I was driving to work 10/27/2009 turned right on sw30th ave. off congress ave. in Boynton beach florida. A driver of a 1994 green chevy pickup went through a stop sign attempted to cross the 2 lane road and smashed into the side of My car causing nearly 2,000.00 damage. He immediately appologized took responsability, the Boynton Beach Police arrived and ticketed Him for an improper U-turn. seemed like an easy case so I left Him alone and went on. GEICO refuses to pay the claim, they are dragging their feet and stalling all they can. I had to get My insurance to pay and pay the deductible and they are fighting with GEICO flr the payment, My insurance, the police, the bodyshop can not believe the GEICo way of handling a claim. I guess thats how they afford all these commercials. WARNING if you have GEICO change companies because you are paying for insurance that doesn't pay. Now I am suing the driver in small claims court, so He will be paying His insurance and the claim.

We were stopped for a vechile in front of us to turn right 1999 2500 HD Dodge then we were rear ended by a Honda SUV 1995 which in turn was rear ended by a Dodge 1500 truck. At the time of the accident the driver of the of the truck a Dodge 1500 2000 model year as per the driver of the 2000 dodge produced papers that his insurance was Geico Insurance but the next day we received a call from Geico stateing that his insurance was in question and were notified that there is no coverage will be will be aforded for this loss. But an issue that existes on our insured's policy. But being a no fault state no citations were given to any one.

As with the driver of the Honda Suv also was a Geico policy holder. Now according to the police officer who investageted the accident it was the driver of the Honda SUV fault as she hit us in thr rear end and it was up to her insurance to pay for the damages incurred to our vechile. But according to Geico it was not it all fell back to the driver of the 2000 Dodgr Ram and speed was not a factor in it.But we were injured as well as our vechile the danage incurred as this has been over 46 days agoand have heard nothing to date 11-01-2009 now Fla statues clearley state that in 45 days after cancelled policy must be turned into state as per section 324 Florida Statuetes must be reported to state then law so states Drivers Licence and registration must be surredded to the state untill insurance is purchased or bond is placed with the state.

So if Geico had been dowing there job per law the state was not notified. That this claim is on gowing at this time As we received back neck and foot injuries were sustained during the accident. Along with whiplash as these injureys are on gowing as we are handicapped and disabled prople and have handicapped plates on our vehicle. So our insurances paying our bills like doctor hospital and all necessary equipment for us to use dailey. So my openion is dont buy Geico insurance as the Geco is an act like sucker.

I got a bill for car insurance that I didn't order. I have no idea, how I ended up with a bill for car insurance. The car was an old 1996 that doesn't even run and hasn't for several years.

I am getting collection notices, and I am sure it's going to be on my credit file. I have had a lot of ID theft in the past, and it's always the same story. Nobody believes your explanation.

My 20 year old daughter was hit by a driver insured by Geico. The airbags went off, the windshield was cracked and the driver's side window was shattered. My daughter suffered multiple injuries. Geico accepted 100% responsibility for the accident. Less than 24 hours after the accident without asking the nature of her injuries or if she had seen a doctor, Geico called and offered her 250 to settle her medical claim.

Karolyn of New Rochelle, NY September 29, 2009

On May 11, 2009, as I approached a crosswalk in New Rochelle, a car was stopped waiting for oncoming traffic. I walked through the crosswalk when all of a sudden the car accelerated into the merging street, the bumper striking my left thigh and knocking me 12 feet into the next lane. The woman stopped and called the police while having an attitude with me (and she's the one who hit me!) She told the police officers and firefighters on the scene she never saw me crossing the street because she was looking down the hill and verified I was in the crosswalk. I was transported to the hospital by ambulance and released later that evening. The very next morning Loriann N, the claims examiner from Geico, called to know what injuries I sustained from the accident as well as what happened. My husband and I told her as soon as we knew what the injuries were, she would know.

Two months later Loriann sent me to an orthopedic IME who determined I had a mild disability and requested I receive further treatment and see him again in six weeks for a reexamination. After that I was sent all the way to a rundown medical office in the Bronx for a neurological IME. The doctor claimed there was no need for neurological benefits, however I needed to see an orthopedic surgeon due to an indication of a possible herniated disk. I still had all of my other benefits with the exception of neurology. On September 11, 2009, I went back to the same orthopedic IME and just found out from the IME provider company, Support Services, my report is going to be sent to Geico today.

The problem is I was sent a denial letter by Loriann on September 17,2009 with no report. I asked for a report on the 21st and received my July 10, 2009 report. I spoke to Lisa from the no fault department (Loriann wasn't available) and asked for the correct report. I was told first Loriann might have made a mistake and didn't know what I was talking about. Then she said Geico didn't receive my report yet. Lisa said Support Services probably had a copy and just didn't send it out yet. I spoke to Support Services and they didn't have it either! Get this..when

I asked the representative how was it possible to send a denial of claim when the report wasn't even finished, she said it's from the doctor's preliminary exam. I also asked her who denies the patients, and instead of telling me the examining physician makes this decision, she said the INSURANCE COMPANY does, and they can do that. I don't think so! I called Lisa back and told her to note in my file for Geico I will still continue treatment even though I was cut off as of September 17 because I was illegally sent a denial form without a report.

I also filed a complaint with the New York State Insurance Department so someone knows the kind of unnecessary drama Geico puts deserving people through. Not only do I want to sue Geico for the pain and suffering and medical issues I am going through as well as the company granting premature denials, I also want to go after the IMEs for cutting off benefits when proof is there when needed. Is it possible to do so? I am also going to pursue arbitration, but it still won't help my situation because I have to wait three months with all of this pain and no benefits and I am 23 years old feeling like I am 80 due to my injury. Is there an attorney who can help?

Raven of Odessa, TX September 21, 2009

My car was parked in the driveway of my sister-in-law's home when the driver of a white Ford Focus lost control of his vehicle, jumped the curb and hit my car. He never stopped. I got his license plate number which I gave to the police. I was able to describe to the police the car and the driver. My sister-in-law also witnessed this accident.

My insurance company, Progressive, tracked down the license plate to a woman in Andrews, Texas as the owner, who told the police she didn't know who was driving the car. However, she was recorded by Progressive stating that her son had the car that day. The son works for a law firm as an intern and he immediately lawyered up. Also, his employer states that he was at work, which we have not been able to disprove.

Someone was driving that car and regardless of who was behind the wheel, the owner should be held liable for damage done to my car. However, Geico after taking pictures of the "hit and run" vehicle tells me that I have to PROVE to them who was driving the car. This is wrong. The driver was a young hispanic male. It wasn't her son as I saw his picture in a mugshot lineup and told the officer that the driver was not in the lineup. However, the son and most likely the mother knows who was driving that car on that day.

If Geico tells you, if you purchase another vehicle from a dealership geico will reimburse you the taxes payed on the vehicle. It doesn't take up to 2 weeks to receive the check. I been waiting for over 3 weeks now. From August 24 til September 18.

I was in a auto accident on June 12, 2009. After 2 and half weeks of the run around with Geico they decided to take the blame and my van would finally go into the shop. After 20 days of it being in the repair shop I got it back on July 11, 2009. I thought everything was fine until a few weeks back in August my check engine light came on and the van was not performing the way it should.

I had my van in and out of shops because no one knows what is wrong with it till I took it over to the dealer and now they are telling me that I need a new Powertrain Control Module. Which just so happens that this part is on the same side where I was hit. Geico is telling me that if there is no damage to this part on the outside then they are not going to pay for this part. My van runs [bad] now the engine light is back on it's eating so much gasoline that I only drive this van to and from work because I'm afraid it going to stall on me.

I don't have the 500 to get a new PCM and it's a no brainer that there had to be some impact to this part when I was hit on the drivers side and that's where this part is located. I'm very disappoint in this company. I shouldn't have to shove out any money from this accident it wasn't my fault!

Gloria of Dewitt, NY September 14, 2009

On July 10, 2009 my spouse was driving my car traveling through Henderson, TN when a gravel truck caring rocks came within his path. A rock from the truck flew off and into the windshield of my 2002 Lexus. Upon returning home, I contacted GEICO to pursue a claim, but was told that they would not replace my glass with the original manufactures glass, but would replace it with what they call equivalent. To my dissatisfaction, I contacted the NYS Insurance Dept and filed a complaint seeking a satisfactory resolution to restore my windshield to its original standard prior to the incident on July 10th. To-date I have not been able to reach an agreement with GEICO who recently forwarded me a 23 page copy of policy guidelines that I was never given prior to insuring my vehicle with them. I am only seeking a replacement of my windshield that is identical to what was is currently in my vehicle.
