Yeah, switching mid-claim sounds dicey. My cousin tried it once after a fender-bender, thinking he'd save money... ended up tangled in paperwork and phone calls for weeks. I'd definitely wait it out too, less stress overall.
"Yeah, switching mid-claim sounds dicey."
True, but honestly, I've seen cases where switching actually cleared things up faster. One client I knew switched insurers during a messy claim, and the new company streamlined everything surprisingly quickly... maybe your cousin just had bad luck?
Switching can work out sometimes, sure, but I'd be careful generalizing from one good experience. Insurance companies are notoriously unpredictable... I'd personally stick it out unless things were really going south. Better safe than sorry, y'know?
"Better safe than sorry, y'know?"
I get the caution, totally fair...but honestly, sticking around just because you're used to something isn't always safer. I've seen plenty of clients clinging to a sinking ship because "better the devil you know," only to realize later they missed out on better deals elsewhere. Insurance companies *are* unpredictable, sure—but that's exactly why it's worth checking out fresh options now and then. Sometimes shaking things up can save you money and sanity in the long run...just sayin'.
I understand the hesitation, but honestly, sometimes a little exploring pays off. When I switched insurers last year, I was pretty nervous...but turns out the new company was clearer, cheaper, and way less stressful to deal with. Change isn't always risky.
