How long does an insurance carrier and claim adjuster have to appraise the damages of your vehicle after an accident? I filed a claim a week ago in Brandon, Florida , however an adjuster still has not seen my car. Is this typical?

In Florida, the Department of Insurance feels that 7-10 working days is enough time for an insurance carrier to inspect a damage vehicle and authorize a rental vehicle. And though there is not a specific time limit to which the insurer must come to a settlement agreement with the policyholder, once the insurer has agreed in writing upon an amount, the insurance carrier must pay within twenty days or pay interest this amount.
If the insurance carrier Brandon FL continues to take their time for the car insurance claims adjuster to contact you about your car that needs repaired you can contact your states insurance regulatory body.This state agency should be able to inform you what state has laws say about how long an insurance carrier can take to respond to your car insurance claim and view your car so that your vehicle can be repaired or found to be a total loss.There also may be laws with regards to the time period the insurance company has to settle an insurance claim and/or advise you of the value of your car if it is a total loss.
