When your premium is due insurance companies expect you to timely pay your premium.  If you don't they will stop providing coverage.  What happens then when they owe you money for a claim?  A common experience among claimants is that insurance company's drag their feet when it comes to claim payments.  If this has happened to you there are some useful things you should know about.
In Missouri, if you are making a claim on your own policy, the insurance company has to comply with regulations that require a timely response, a decision on your claim and an explanation of your claim. If the insurance company says it needs more time to gather facts they must regularly update you with the status of their investigation. To learn more go the Missouri Department of Insurance web site.
