00:00Yes, in the U.S., insurance companies can generally find out about your previous insurance
00:05claims, especially when you apply for a new policy or switch insurers.
00:09Claims are commonly reported to industry databases such as CLUE, Comprehensive Loss
00:15Underwriting Exchange, which insurers use to review a property's or driver's claims
00:20history.
00:20The answer depends on the type of insurance and the situation.
00:241.
00:25Auto insurance asterisk insurers can typically see reported claims, including access to
00:29and certain lost details through claims history databases and their own underwriting systems.
00:35A claim can affect your premium even if you change companies.
00:392.
00:39Home insurance asterisk insurers can check the property's prior claims history, not just
00:44your personal history.
00:45This means a previous owner's claims may sometimes influence underwriting for a home
00:50you are buying.
00:513.
00:52Life insurance asterisk the process is different.
00:54Life insurers generally do not use auto-home claims databases to determine eligibility.
01:00They primarily evaluate medical, financial, and application information.
01:054.
01:06Unreported incidents asterisk if you never reported an incident to an insurer, it generally will
01:11not appear in an insurance claims database.
01:14However, insurers may discover losses through other records or information you provide, and
01:20deliberately withholding relevant information on an application can create problems.
01:25The timing also matters.
01:27Claims databases do not necessarily update instantly, and reporting practices vary by insurer,
01:33state, and insurance type.
01:34There is therefore no single guaranteed time frame for when every insurer will see a claim.
01:40Practical Takeaway asterisk assume that a formally reported auto or home insurance claim
01:45can be discovered when you apply elsewhere.
01:47Before switching insurers, obtain your claim's history and review it for errors rather than
01:52assuming another company will not see it.
01:54Finally, remember that everything we discussed today is for educational purposes only and does
02:00not constitute financial advice.
02:02Good luck to everyone, and see you in the next video.
