The insured *************************** severely damaged my artwork. She was insured by Zurich American Insurance Company. The insurance company accepted responsibility and concluded that the artwork can't be repaired. After an unnecessary delay of several months, they sent two appraisers who gave extremely low appraisals. The 49 tall antique statue was appraised for $350 by one and $1200 by the other appraiser. I had purchased it for $11,000. I asked where I could get a comparable item for the appraised price. I told them repeatedly that I will be flexible. They did not have a response.Zurich American Insurance Company representative Mr. ********************* stated that the appraised value was below the deductible so they do not owe me anything. They should fairly compensate me for my loss. They should not be allowed to sell meaningless policies supported by hand-picked appraisers who provide unrealistic appraisals.Business response

Complaint: 21551945
I am rejecting this response because:
Letter dated April 17, 2024, by ************************ states that The claim was adjusted with the insured. That would be applicable if the coverage was only for the property of the insured. If the policy also insures against loss to others, such as myself, caused by the insured, during making of the movie, the claim cant be adjusted without any participation by me. I did not authorize the insured to represent me.
I allowed the insured to film her movie in my private residence without charge because she informed me that she was insured against any damage that *** occur to my property. Through gross negligence there was damage to several items. I am claiming only the most egregious one. To deny any compensation to me by adjusting with the insured without my participation is unacceptable.
Sincerely,

I filed a travel insurance claim on 2/13/24. Claim #******. I provided all the required documentation and got an email that my payment was issued on 2/27/24 in the amount of $45.20. I never received the payment. After several calls to them, all the reps failed to state that they never put my unit number in the address! One rep finally noticed and requested for payment re-issue with the unit number. He promised he would have it expedited and I should receive it by Friday 3/29. I did not receive it and called today 4/3 to be told that they just processed new payment on 3/27 and to give it until April 19th to receive. Is this a joke? They did not expedite payment and I should have received this payment in February. Where is my check?Business response

date of transaction 3/06/1924 engine misfire dealer diagnosis with blown head gasket on 2018 ***** Accord Sport 1.5l turbo at ***** miles service records reviewed and acceptable. extended warranty was in effect and they accepted responsibility for head gasket repair. ***** service dept does not feel this will adequately repair auto and recommend full rebuilt engine. there are several reports of similar complaint filed with *****. I do not feel there should be an expectation of a blown head gasket in this car or that I should be responsible for cost of repair without determination of root cause. I believe this issue may eventually be a full recall or end up in a class action against *****.I have already paid for 2 separate diagnostics at 2 different ***** dealerships I have already paid for full tune up and replacement of a single coil.this car has never run hot.need help with resolution between dealer and extended warranty carrier Zurich.Business response

Complaint: 21437878
I am rejecting this response because: They are prolonged this claim to there benefit while racking up money on there side of the claim. The adjuster know how much the truck is worth. That's why there the adjuster its there job period. Every day this isn't settled they added more for rental to replace that truck. Which is mostly more then the value value of my truck in a day. An on tip if it the reports of this company is consistent with. Not coming through for being there for there clients. This in not acceptable. I'm without a vehicle for months. Renting my dad's truck an he bought a new one so I could continue to use. But pat him $100 a day for rest which isn't close the the money there are using up. I have been advised by my father who was an adjuster an own company though farmers. Said. This is very abnormal an are only using for there benefit. I am also filing papers. Insurance companies need to be held liable. Thank you

After calling support (*******), I was informed that the warrenty I purchasedonly covered oil changes, roadside assistance a rust corrosion. That I needed to pay a montly charge charged that included back payments. The contract I purchased through ****** has no connection to Zurich. ******* lied about the contract payment being overdue with the inent to activate a 200 dollar a month fee. Zurich should be held accountable for the type of desceptive markting. I trust BBB, but how did the get a A+ rateing.Business response

3/4/2024 - ************ tried to submit a claim for a good coverage plan/warranty we purchased when we bought our ***** Oydssey in late OCT 2023. A spool valve is leaking oil of no fault to us. It is considered part of the transmission which SHOULD be covered per our documentation. Zurich denied the claim. Did not give a proper reason or explanation as to why and basically hung up the phone on ************. It is clearly listed that an issue like this should be covered in the extensive warranty we purchased. I have tried calling and waited over 40 minutes both times and still did not get to speak to an actual representative. That is unacceptable. I will not remove my complaint from the BBB until someone reaches out to resolve this issue. The cost to fix this issue is 1100. We refuse to pay it.Business response

On or about 12/5/23 I took my dog to see ***************** because I thought my dog needed an emergency spay because I thought she was pregnant from her brother and they both were *****. I drove an HR to ******* from.ga because I couldn't get in to any vet local soon enough and I was worried. ***************** determined that she was not pregnant but I asked him to check for pyometra because a lady in lobby said that's what it sounded like. And they lady said God that you brung her in today because she would have died a horrible death in about 24hrs. ***************** thought it was so serious. He gave her antibiotics and said she will be ok just try to get her back eating. Well she died just like the old lady said about 24hrs later. I'm requesting for Zurich to pay me for the loss of my dog and the trauma that it was closed. Every time I think about the situation I get very I'll..I was hoping for closure so we could move on but they are not taking any responsibility so I have to continually be subject to being reminded that I watched my puppy dying, thinking she just had to get the meds.in her system and would rebound, trusting the information that ***************** suggested. They are trying to rely on the white blood cell test but my vet said many Dr try to hang their hat in those test. He said the white blood cell count could have been high but she could have started losing white blood cells so the results would look normal but she could have lost a lot and that's why more examining is suggested. ***************** admitted that he should have done more and I'm very disappointed that Zurich aren't taking any liability given the facts. I will fight this until I can't. I will contact the local news regarding this matter also if they do not hurry to take some accountability.Business response

I am rejecting this response because: this is my response to Zurich on 3/4/24Hi
I'm disabled and feel taken advantage of. If you all were arriving to this conclusion, the additional info such as expenses were not needed. Due to the fact that ***************** admitted on 12/7/23 when we spoke that he should have done more now you all are contradicting what he said out his own mouth, that's concerning. If an old lady named ************ who is a breeder told me and his staff in the lobby that the dog had pyometra because a pregnant dog would not discharge so early on and if she would not have come there that day she would die a horrible death within 24hrs which is exactly what happened. I'd think with ***************** training he would have more knowledge but in this case he didn't. We do not need to provide any additional information, your insured told us on a recorded line that he should have done more and he apologized. ************ and her son ****** will testify to this fact.
We are giving you all one last chance to at min cover the lost of my service dog and some expenses, we are demanding $13,000 within 14days.
If not we are going to contact the local news station, the *** board of vets and have our attorney go forward with the lawsuit. We will ensure your handling of this case is documented via ******* bbb and cfpb.

I am rejecting this response because: ***************** admitted that he should have done more in regards to evaluating Dime. But Zurich is acting like my dog died because I didn't go back to a doctor the next morning. I drove out of state for care because of the sense of urgency. Their insured said the puppy was ok it was going to take time for the meds to work and she would slowly improve. I trusted his evaluation despite my concerns. His other client Mrs ***** told me and the intake staff that the dog had pyometra and would have died if I didn't bring her in that day. We communicated this to ***************** and he advised us the issues were not life threatening however the dog died within 24hrs just as Mrs ***** whose a breeder stated. It's awful that ***************** miss diagnosis caused my puppies life and Zurich are not taking ANY accountability when ***************** admitted to us he should have done more. We will not accept this.
Sincerely,
