California Right Claim

Every state can set its own rules for the deadline by which an insurance company can accept or deny a claim. "In California, insurance companies have 15 days to acknowledge a claim," Worters points out.

Most states give you two to three years to settle your car accident insurance claim. If you file after the statute of limitations has passed, the court will reject your claim, even if you are only a few days late. This harsh response is based on the reality that as time passes, memories fade and records get lost.

For example, insurers in California have 40 days to accept or deny a claim and 30 days to issue payment once the settlement has been accepted. And in Texas, insurers must decide on a claim within 45 days and make the payment within five days of approval. Not all states provide exact timeframes, though.

Residents and business owners can search the database of unclaimed assets and submit a claim at the state's website, claimit.ca.gov, or by calling (800) 992-4647.

Insurance companies in California have 85 days to settle a claim after it is filed. California insurance companies also have specific timeframes in which they must acknowledge the claim and then decide whether or not to accept it, before paying out the final settlement.

Most Insurance Companies Pay Claims Within 30 Days Most insurance companies set goals to pay out accepted claims within 30 days of receiving the initial claim. Within those 30 days, the company should assign a claims adjuster to the case, review the facts, accept or deny the claim and issue prompt payment.
