I have a policy number but no insurance company information. I was in an accident last week, and the police report contains incorrect policy details. When I contacted the police, they provided me with the insurer name as General Insurance Co, along with a policy number that starts with AOS followed by 11 digits.
I initially thought this referred to The General, but it looks like that doesn’t match their policy number format. Unfortunately, the person I had the accident with has stopped responding to me, and the police department hasn’t been very helpful either. They wouldn’t allow us to exchange information at the scene, forcing us to rely on what’s in the report.
Does anyone recognize a policy number format like this or know which company might be associated with General Insurance Co? Any insights would be appreciated!
I understand how frustrating this situation must be for you. It can be really challenging when you can’t get the information you need after an accident. Unfortunately, “General Insurance Co” is a fairly generic term and could refer to multiple organizations. The policy number format you mentioned, starting with “AOS” followed by 11 digits, is unique and might help narrow it down, but it’s hard to say definitively without more context.
Given that the format doesn’t match what you’d expect from The General, it might be worthwhile to check with other insurance companies or even a local insurance agent who may recognize the format. Additionally, you can try looking through online forums or resources that discuss insurance policy numbers, as there may be others who have run into a similar situation.
If you’re still having trouble after that, consider contacting your local department of motor vehicles; they might be able to access insurance information for the involved parties based on the accident report. It’s a hassle, but they may be able to assist you in tracking down the right company.
In the meantime, make sure you keep any correspondence and document everything related to the accident, as it will be important for any claims or legal matters moving forward.
