If you are not at fault in an accident, what will your insurance company do in order to get your car fixed? How much help will they give you, or are we supposed to settle everything, make the calls etc. with the other carriers insurance. I was hit from behind while I was stopped at a yield sign. The other drivers fault ( a no-brainer). Yet I am getting different information from my agent, the other drivers agent, and even the auto-repair shop !!! Any feedback will help greatly.

My husband is currently interviewing with Progressive. We are trying to figure out what training pay is for adjusters( since it lasts 12 weeks) and what starting pay is. Also wondering if any adjusters out there can tell us if they like their job there. He currently works at Enterprise with super high stress, making barely any money and working over 50 hours a week, no overtime. Any comments?

I'm in high school, currently battling a dilemma between taking science courses to become a pediatrician which will pay well but I don't think I'll enjoy the routine work or take a few art courses, only I don't exactly know what jobs can come from that. Some ideas could be commercial artist or even something to do with film because I like making short movies. Can anyone give me any outlook if I went with art, what degrees I would need and where I would go? Salary and job descriptions included? Thanks!

2 answers - Asked By: Miranda - 9/5/2012
I was hit and injured while I had the right of way on a road by an underinsured driver. We are both insured by the same company. My motorcycle suffered damages assessed by my authorized Honda mechanic to cost $10,900 to repair.  However the repair estimate the insurance company states is $11,700.00 and declared my cycle a total loss and initially offered me $9000.00 to settle, using "AutoSource" as their source to determine the cycle's valuation.  I provided the insurance company with a list of aftermarket parts totaling $8400.00+ that I had either had installed on the Wing, used in the course of its operation. They accepted receipt of the list but later ignored it, later offering $12,700.00. They claim their reason for not agreeing to have the cycle repaired is that regardless of the Honda mechanic's assessment, additional damage and expense "might" be noted. How can I fight the insurance company and get compensatory damages from them?

I want to go to school to become a large animal veterinarian but incase it doesn't work out my mom wants me to have a back up plan. I want to stay in the agriculture field and still be able to work with animals but I don't know what other jobs are available. I want to work with the horses, cows, pigs, chicken, and all the farm animals if possible. If I cant make it into vet school, I may consider becoming an agriculture teacher but it doesn't pay well. If anyone knows of other job options please let me know! thanks!
