My fiance hit a car during a failure to yield when we were leaving a parking lot back in May. Both parties were paid out my my insurance policy through Progressive a while ago. Aparently, a few days ago we got a letter in the mail saying our claims rep changed. My app still says its our old rep and I haven't gotten any calls our emails about a change. We also got a different piece of mail saying that a lawsuit may be filed against me as well on the other party's behalf. Has anyone heard of this happening before? This is the first accident I was ever in and handling the insurance claim was already confusing, but my claim on the app had not changed at all. It still says that my rep is the same, and no one ever called me about a possible lawsuit. Even if there was, would I be getting sued just because the auto insurance policy is mine?
Progressive sending note about possible lawsuit?

Are the other people making a bodily injury claim? That would be the reason for notifying you of a potential lawsuit. So either, they received a demand and have been unable to settle it yet, so they are putting you on notice. Or maybe it’s just their standard practice to send on injury claims. Statute of limitations may be approaching depending on the state but being that this was just in May probably unlikely.
If you really want to know what happening call Progressive and ask them the status of that claim.
