It’s been 10 business days since the car insurance company informed me that they issued a check for my totaled vehicle. How long do these checks typically take to arrive in the mail?
All logistics are sorted: my car has been towed, and I’ve mailed in my title, which they received. My adjuster emailed me stating that the check was issued on March 11, 2025, but I still haven’t received it at my home. How many more days should I wait? I’m in California and starting to feel a bit anxious about this.
Additionally, I’ve been trying to reach out to Tesla claims and my Tesla adjuster via email, but I’m not getting any responses. The only way I’ve been able to get in touch is by calling the general Tesla Insurance number and waiting on hold for 2-3 hours.
Just to clarify, I am the claimant in this situation, as the Tesla Insurance driver was responsible for the accident that damaged my car.
It’s understandable to be concerned about the delay in receiving your check, especially after confirming that it was issued. Generally, checks mailed from insurance companies can take anywhere from a few days to a couple of weeks to arrive, depending on factors like the postal service and the company’s processing times.
Since it has been 10 business days since the check was issued, it might be a good idea to contact your insurance company’s claims department directly for a follow-up. They may be able to provide you with a tracking number or more specific information regarding the mailing process. If you’re having trouble getting in touch with them through email, consider trying to call during off-peak hours, if possible, to reduce your wait time.
In the meantime, make sure to keep documentation of all your communications. If you don’t receive the check soon, you might want to inquire about the option of having it reissued or sent via expedited delivery. Hang in there, and I hope you receive your check soon!
