Does my own insurance cover me when I stay in an Airbnb or VRBO?

If you are hit by a driver with no insurance or not enough insurance, uninsured and underinsured motorist coverage pays your medical bills.

When does an insurer have to pay after approving a claim in Alabama?

All FAQs

Quick answer: After the insurer accepts liability and agrees on the amount of the claim, it must tender payment within 30 days, or the time specified in the policy (Alabama Department of Insurance regulation 482-1-125-.07(6)). This is a separate 30-day clock from the accept/deny decision -- it starts once liability is accepted and the amount is agreed, not when the proof of loss is submitted.
