Had a minor accident in personal vehicle yesterday. How bad is this for getting hired?

Should cancel claim and pay her

 

Always pay lawyers and claims if you can.Its very important to stay perfect.

 

No, you’ll never drive a truck … period!

just messing with you, seriously as others said … it never happened unless the cops are called.

 

Once a claim is paid by an insurance company, there is a record of that accident generated. I know people that will pay for things like a windshield etc, just to keep it away from the insurance company.

 

Yeah this is true but insurance claims are not employment related issues unless there is a need for it to be included. I never look at insurance of an applicant, my insurance and underwriters won’t either. It matters when a police report is made or it ends up in court where there is a public record created for the incident.

 

The problem is CLUE is something that almost all insurance carriers have available to them. If you are sending information about a new hire to your insurance carrier when someone at that company sits at a computer the paid claims information WILL show up. Now let's take a step back and take a long deep breath. CLUE is something that is 99% routine. EVEN for non-trucking situations. I know the couple that was leasing this apartment before me had 2 claims paid. One was because of an accident that was the wife's fault and then there was a claim paid to them based on a loss at his business. I know this because my insurance agent told me this when I started my renter's insurance along with some other things. CLUE got a hit on my address. I had to show that agent my lease agreement and actually give him a copy of the first page because of this. Insurance carriers will make a quote, but that quote is subject to change. This can be because of something they found like CLUE.

Because of this, I advise ANYBODY that knows an insurance claim was paid for them to understand there is a record of that claim paid and why somewhere on a computer system. Then act accordingly when filling out applications for jobs etc. As I stated, CLUE is routine, these checks are part of the process. While I agree with Ridgeline that generally they SHOULD NOT be part of the employment process, there is no guarantee this information won't find its way into it.
