Guest guest Posted October 4, 2006 Report Posted October 4, 2006 Jackie, Gosh, that sounds like such a drag, not to mention highly stressful, to say the least. We had to wait so long because I had to have four surgeries and things (new bills mostly) kept popping up, so we wanted wait until I was stable and could settle without being scared some other issues were going to come up. Once you sign for the settlement, they are no longer liable for ANYTHING. So it can be pretty scary. Sorry, I have no words of wisdom regarding working with insurance companies though. We had a lawyer and believe me we paid him a pretty penny just to not have to deal with the insurance companies and all that. You would think unless the insurance company had PROOF that you had problems before the accident, such a Dr. records or records of ANY kind of treatment, that they could not blame it on a pre-existing causes. But they pay their lawyers big bucks too, instead of just giving people what they deserve! I'm sorry you are having to deal with all this. I know when we went into arbitration (like court only not in court) that I could not eat for a week and was nervous wreck. We lived off credit cards for years, while my husband went to Grad school and took care of me and our baby. I just prayed that I got enough to pay those CC off, and I did. I hope the same happens for you. Caitlin --------------------------------- Get your email and more, right on the new Yahoo.com Quote
Guest guest Posted October 4, 2006 Report Posted October 4, 2006 I wish I had some good news for you about dealing with auto insurance. My neighbor's brother-in-law got sandwiched between 2 18-wheelers about a year ago and still has no money. They have no idea when they will get the money due them. The rest of the family just got some bruises and scratches, but the father was nearly killed. I don't know how they have managed to stay afloat. I am sure their church has helped. The man will never be able to work again according to the doctors. Sometimes I think the insurance hopes you will give up or die - anything other than get paid what is due them. Willow Quote
