Insurance Update

Up to $5000 - what if it goes over that? I think it's great that they're offering something, but I would be reluctant to sign anything with a set amount. What if he has complications later that you can relate back to this fall? You will have signed a release and won't get any further help. I know it sounds good, but honestly, I think they're getting off cheap. Have you talked with a lawyer?

I am so happy for you and I do hope they stop calling you For goodness sake they knew you where waiting for the Insurance to contact you so why could they not wait I am just glad it is sorted now Grandpa Bob

Hard to believe that you have already heard from them and that things are going your way. That is great to hear. I have never had anything like that happen on private property of a business or anywhere but I have had a hassle with insurance companies not wanting to pay up. When I was pregnant with my youngest I was taken to the hospital on Dec. 31st and has to stay until she was born Jan. 17th and she was still premature. Well, the union my husband belonged to at the time changed insurance companies and you guessed it, the new one took effect at midnight on the 31st. We had no idea that things were messed up until I got a phone call from the hospital one day demanding money, I had never even been sent a bill. They contacted one insurance co. and then the other and neither wanted to pay up. Well, the first one finally paid up after they found out that there were complications when I went to the hosptial and that she was a premie. Thank goodness, that was a lot of time in the hospital which means a lot of money and since there were rough times for me and my daughter they paid 100%. YIPPPPEEEEEEEEEEEE.

Someone hit the caps button huh, grandpa? Gotta love that computer!! lol So glad to hear you're finally getting that resolved! Bet ya it was a headache, wasn't it? Well at least it's almost over. BTW, hubby was able to fix my computer!! Don't ask me what was wrong for I'm not a computer person other than using it. lol All I know is it's fixed and running a wee bit better than it was.

Hi Grandpa Bob, Oh that is excellent news at last. I am really pleased this has been resolved. Fortunately I have never had a situation like this arise and hopefully I won't either. Ellie :D

I've never had to deal with anything like this. I'm glad it's all working out for y'all. Good luck with everything.

That's good that they are doing something about it. I think they should pay more than that, but maybe that's a bit greedy. I haven't had to deal with anything more than my own personal injury at work. I wrote up an incident report, and then went and had x-rays done. Nothing was broken thankfully. The owner of the company that I worked for paid my doctor bills, hospital bills, and my copay.

I don't even know if we have that kind of insurance here in my country Grandpa Bob. At least its a good thing despite the accident that your dad suffered. At least it doesn't compound the problem. So to answer your question, thank God! I never had such an experience or anyone from my family.

HI Grandpa B, [i]that's cool! ANyway, I have not tried any situation as that! I enjoyed though the benefits of having an insurance in my life! Always no hassle for medical check up since they will handle everything![/i]

I am glad you are getting the medical bills resolved and did not have to get a lawyer. hoowooo. Is dad OK now?

NOpe.....but my son did and it's still not over! LOL...one judgement is done and the other is still pending...hopefully it will be straightened out soon.

that's great for you. I'm still tussling with my insurance company on delayed baggage. They sent a reply to me asking for some more documents, but I don't see why i have to send in the original boarding pass. so i called them up, and they said the officer in charge would call me back. but guess what? she never did. so i called again. and they said i would need to send in these items that they had requested for, but i could ask for the original to be sent back to me if i needed it for other claims. so I've done that. I'm not hopeful that they would return it to me, but since this claim is the largest I guess I should supply whatever they are asking for. what a hassle! I hope they send me the cheque soon!!

hi grandpa Bob! well we haven't got much luck here in Philippines..insurance thingy is not a big thing in here not like in US..the only insurance i get is from work insurance on my health card on which family members are not included..its just for individual benefits..but i'm glad that your dad had the insurance for further issues..Happy posting...

So, if I am reading this right, They ARE goig to pay for all of the Emergency Room visit and they have put aside $5000.00 for ANY future bills, that are related to this fall? That is awesome! I am glad that they are being do reasonible about all this. ABout time things started going your way! I saw your Dads Picture, Maybe I can fix him up with my mom,,,LOL

That is great. They should have just accepted it in the beginnig. Now they are going to be spending more then if they had just covered it in the first place. I hope you get covered for your agrivation.

That is good to hear. We never had problems with insurance, but we did have a problem because of the waiting time for my husband to get into physiotherapy at the city hospital. They had the wrong phone number, but that had been straightened up and I hope it did not make my husband's stroke results permanent. We never had any falls or injuries on privately owned property. I did fall down the last two steps in my basement, and when I fell like due to excess ice, it was usually on a city street and I got up. Stubborn= refused help.

I have, fortunately, never had that experience but I'm very happy that the insurance company you're dealing with is behaving well. When I was taking introductory law classes, most of the suits I read about could have been avoiding if insurance companies and other defendants would just have dealt fairly with people.

I am glad they lived up to their responsibility so quickly, as we all know with insurance company's that is the exception to the drag it out as long as possible rule.
