One think I don't know if I missed or was not said.
If you have any thing of value in the truck go get it
out ASAP. I lost some things in a totaled truck and it
was the tow drives helping them selves.
Go in and get it if it's missing tell them you calling the cops
and will wait right there for the officer to show up and take
a report. They have had your truck in there custody and should
make every effort to protect it from people picking goodies.

But ALL the Towing Comes out of the Owners Pocket in this Deal

Sure the INS CO pays it they even pay storage fees

But it all comes OFF the Blue Book totals for what the Auto is worth if that's all he worried about is the truck then its basically a set price already

I would have put Double the money in my pocket if it wasn't for Outrageous Tow/storage fees

I have been down this road more then I care to admit LOL I made money each time except the First time

I know the DR is a TOTAL PIA but a few days of your time is worth 10-15K and more if theres something wrong

Tell them you have a Headache Cat scans and MRI add up quick Missed days work etc...the Dr screw everyone anymore Heath care Discuss me

Its the way of the world anymore like it or not screw them before they screw you

You pay a INS CO all the time for years and years and theres only a few chances to get what you already paid for

 

The airbags didn't go off because they worked exactly the way they were designed. And please, do not commit insurance fraud. It raises all of our rates and they don't catch everyone, but you could be one of the unlucky ones.

 

Who said anything about Fraud

probably not a Bad idea to get check out after that intense of an Accident

that was Violent crash

I would be right with ya if it was a Fair playing field out there but its not nor will it ever be INS rates will go up no matter what just like every other bill

Everyone will Rape everyone else until theres nothing left its coming anyways to many people wanting to get paid for doing nothing anymore


Bitter Much FLMAO

Guess its just my point of view too so that don't mean nothing

This guy deserves the money more then the INS CO he already paid maybe some of Geico's 6 digit a year men could possibly give up some there 8 weeks Paid vacation this year to help with rates LOL

Is Geico Unreasonably Paying Less on Claims to Boost Profits? - Morris Anderson Law

 

Thats an interesting link on Geico you provided Blade. But I am sure there are many more insurance companies that are pulling this maneuver out there. Insurance companies may try and act like our friend but they are in this to make money and when it comes time to put out they're money they always try and escape with the least amount as possible.

That is why always reject the first offer they will low ball you as much as possible, every dime they save is all the better in their eyes.

 

Even where it costs them $50.00 to save it.

Been there done that.

Claiming that one has medical complaints that do not exist is fraud.

Believe me, I know how you feel. I deal with dirtbag patients, dirtbag doctors, and dirtbag insurance carriers 5 days a week. However, there are many at least trying to do the right thing and it doesn't make it OK to do something wrong just because others are getting away with it.



To the OP, keep in mind that the insurance payoff is a negotiation, so the best way to get what is fair is to do your research. If they come to you with an offer that isn't fair, show them that you have done your research on similar vehicles in your area, etc. Also, if sales tax applies in your state, make sure you take that into account before accepting an offer. If they try to be unfair, you may want to look into changing providers in the future. My former insurance company was inexpensive, but when I looked into them, they were not known for treating their customers well at the time of a claim. Fortunately, I never had one with them. I switched to one that was very highly rated and when a 35" tire delaminated and destroyed the side of my bed, bumper, tailgate, etc., I had a check in a few days that was enough to easily cover all of the repairs with quality parts. I pay a bit more, but it was well worth it. Just something to think about. Good luck. I hope they treat you right.

 

You do realize that he said he suffered some injuries and aggravated a previous injury in this accident right? I dont think anyone ought to be advising him to make up any injuries, the only advice to give him is that if his injuries are effecting him to go to hospital or his doctor and document any expenses he may occur to treat/help his injuries.

He will need any documentation and receipts etc to be reimbursed any money he may spend is all we have said. I doubt anyone is telling him to buy a wheelchair and say he can;t walk or anything. We are just trying to help, not to encourage him to make fraudulent claims and end up in the slammer

 

This is what I was referring to:

You tell me if I overreacted or not.

 

Depending on the cost to buy your truck back from the insurance company it would be worth it just for the value of the engine and transmission if they are in good working order, a used 6.0L around here is going for 4-5K not sure on the tranny.

 

Is Geico Unreasonably Paying Less on Claims to Boost Profits? - Morris Anderson Law[/quote]
"... that Geico reported a “profit of $680 million in 2012. The profit would have

been $410 million more if not for a change in accounting rules at the start..." correct me if I'm wrong, but doesn't 600 million + 400 million (rounded the figures off) = 1 billion?

 

Take a look at who owns GEICO. He didn't get the be #3 by looking out for anybody else.

Just saying.

 

You still have to carve it out of that wrecked mess. Then you have to deal with getting rid of the carcass. Not worth it IMO.

 

I understand the point, but as I said the fella here received some injuries in this rollover and aggravated a previous one . As I stated I don't think anyone should be advocating creating any that weren't there.

I doubt anyone would want to end up in the clink over something like that.
