Worst Insurance company ever

Kim B on 2021-04-13 12:28:57

Had a flood and they took forever to deal with it to the point where I lost all the contents because they needed time to think if something was covered!

Don't use Northbridge for manufacturing coverage

Tim on 2021-03-18 11:21:30

before using this Northbridge for manufacturing coverage I would suggest your you and your broker really check out their sales pitch vs the actual coverage...my view find a company with morals!

Don’t buy insurance with Northbridge

Leslie Aitchison on 2021-02-25 10:19:50

Called to make a claim. Guy cracked my bumper when he was backing out of his parking spot. Northbridge sent to an approved shop. Got a quote $1350. Insurance didn’t want to pay for the repair. Said my car was only worth $3500. So? It’s only $1350 for the bumper, what’s the problem? The mechanic took pictures not only of the damage to my bumper, but he popped the hood, took pictures galore, then opened up my car doors and went crazy. The adjuster said they’ll give me $ for my car. I said no. Then I said I want to cancel my claim. He said they’re going to change my car stays to “salvage”, which means I won’t be get insurance and all. I told them to take a flying leap, found a better policy and cancelled my policy with Northbridge. They didn’t have a problem taking my money for the past two years, but they’ll find any reason to deny your claim. Don’t waste your time or money.
