Carl Fisher – Auto Accident
The law requires you to buy insurance that protects you if you or a member of your family is injured by someone with little or no insurance.
This is a good thing. However, the law fails to protect you when your own insurance company denies payment of your legitimate claims.
Carl was out of work for many months after someone hit his car from behind. His unpaid medical bills were over $200,000 following the rear-end collision. The driver who hit him had very little insurance, but Carl felt safe because he’d purchased even more insurance protection than the law required. He’d done it just in case something like this disrupted his life and interfered with his ability to provide for his family.
His sense of security soon turned to frustration, then anger, and finally, disgust when his claim was repeatedly and wrongly denied. Carl was forced to hire a lawyer after he learned that all he’d truly purchased from Bigge Insurance Co. was a hollow promise in the form of a feel-good slogan.
Carl and his wife faithfully paid their premiums for many years and in return all they got were three years of needless court battles with their very own insurance company.
After the dust from the lawsuit settled, Bigge Insurance Co. was made to pay only the amount of the coverage that was owed all along. Does that make sense to you? Is that the American Justice system you want —one that sacrifices our Constitution of liberties and protects big insurance and corporate greed?
