Find Good Info
Ok, heres the deal. I wiped out on my motorcycle and the claim is going to be around $5k. My insurance renews on 6/15 and I already paid the renewal but I’m not sure if the policy was issued yet.
I know that the insurance company cant change the premium mid term, but I know that they can drop me within a certain timeframe. Does anyone know what that timeframe is? I though it was 30 days from the effective date.
Let me clarify… I live in NY. Nate, I dont know where you live but in NY they cannot drop you for any reason, there are only a few specific reasons why they can drop you mid-term. Basically, non-pay and fraud only.
I also know that they can drop you on renewals but I think there is also a timeframe after renewal where they can drop you, Im not sure though
Well, It’s pretty clear that they’ll let just about any idiot sell insurance. Sometimes if you want something done, you need to do it yourself.
Found my answer right here.

So it looks like the first 2 “insurance professional” that responded dont really know anything…
Im not an adjuster. I work in the commerical end. You are clearly wrong with your statement. An auto carrier cannot drop you anytime they want unless its for non-pay or material misrepresentation (fraud)
This is about reference of insurance questions information.

They can drop you just about anytime they like, but they must give you 30 days written notice. This also applies to renewals. They would send you a letter of non-renewal. So I wouldn’t worry about it until you get a letter in the mail.
Aren’t you an Adjuster?

It is going to vary from state to state. Where I am at they can cancel within 60 days of a new policy and then only at renewals. Except for non-payment. Everyone is going to give you an answer that is their state specific
