[Shotimes] OT-insurance co saga part II

[Ron Fleshman]

<<the real kick in the nuts is the fact that the insurance company
didn't send 
an adjuster out immediately to the place where the car was towed,
assuming 
that her insurance woudl send an adjuster.  So after hearing from us
that no 
adjuster had been out to see the car for 1 week, (that's 1 week @ $20
per 
day storage, plus the $78 towing bill) they immediately demanded that we
pay 
the storage, and towing bill,adn have the car towed to the residence.
Since 
the residence is in a very suburban part of town, where cars are not
allowed 
to be parked on teh street, the car ended up at my farm, which was an
extra 
$92 to have it towed from the towing place, to my house.

they claimed that they woudl reimburse us for those bills, but later
sent a 
letter stating that the insurance claim was under investigation adn
until 
the driver (who ran a bloody red light in broad daylight) was found to
be at 
fault, they weren't goign to offer for the car.  also, the say that if
the 
other driver is found not to be at fault (even though she received
traffic 
citations for the stunt) then we will be responsible for paying all
fees, 
including the towing and storage...>>

John:

     That's the biggest crock I've ever heard, and I thought I had heard
it all in my years in the insurance business.  Get in touch with your
state insurance department tomorrow.  Early.  If this isn't a "bad faith
practice," I've never seen one.  Go get them.  That's ridiculous.
