      Complaint Type:
      Service or Repair Issues
      Status:
      Answered
      I am insured by Hanover Insurance Group, and have been since 4/29/22. I always fully paid, and am in good standing, with full platinum coverage for vehicle damage, with a $500 deductable. I hit a deer on 2/23/24, and obtained and submitted a police report to Hanover while filing a claim for the damages to be paid for. I obtained a repair estimate on 2/27/24 from a reputable local repair shop that has been in business for over 70 years, and has over 700, five star ****** reviews, Their expert repair extimate is $5,548.07, and that estimate was submitted to Hanover.That repair estimate, minus my $500 deductable should result in a check for $5,048.07 sent to me from the insurance company. Hanover refused to send that amount, and instead sent a check for $4,659.26, then closed the claim. I simply want the full amount (minus the deductable) to be paid to me for the repair, as the policy that was agreed upon and paid for covers.

      Very pleased with a recent claim experience. Everyone was cordial, considerate, and concerned. I do hope I never speak with any of them again, but truly appreciate how professional everyone was.
