How long does USAA take to handle claims these days… anyone know?

How long is USAA taking to finish auto claims now? I’ve been waiting for about 7 business days and nothing yet. Just curious what others have experienced.

Keep leaving messages in the app. For me, after about 6–8 months, they finally switched me to a different adjuster who was way faster and nicer.

Did you try calling your adjuster directly?

Yep, she told me it would take about seven business days, and we’re past that now.

And you didn’t follow up after that?

@Peyton
No, I did, but they still haven’t returned my call.

It varies. My first accident claim took around 2 months, but my last one dragged on for over 4 months.

You’re kidding, right? Were you stuck in a rental car for 2 and 4 months?

@Pace
No, I had a rental for about a month after the first accident, but with the second one, I actually ended up just trading in the car because USAA was taking forever.

I always message my adjuster, but I do it on the computer, not the app. It feels more secure that way, like it’s part of the official record and not just a casual chat. I haven’t had issues with my last two claims, both resolved within 3 months. Neither accident was our fault, though I don’t think that changes much.

Thanks!
