What Rights Do I Have?

What world do you think you live in. Maybe I should have explained myself better or maybe you chose not to read the rest of my post. What I have found to be true with the “system” is that you never get what you deserve. So in order to get what would be equitable compensation in regards to whatever injuries you had you would have to exaggerate your claims.

It would be nice if we all live in fairyland where no one lied or stole or cheated but we don’t so jump off your moral high horse. What I described is how the majority of the people work the system.

This guy who fell I don’t know if he was injured or not or how much he really received I was just using him as an example.

This is giving the OP a ‘different perspective’? I guess that’s accurate, if what you’re saying is you’re giving him the perspective of someone who abuses the system and contributes to the shittiness that everybody else has to deal with. That’s certainly a different perspective.[/quote]

Entitlement, dishonestly, and outright fraud. Great advice.

I’m moving forward with this as if A-Rod never responded, I value my integrity. I have however taken some others’ advice. I contacted a local attorney this morning and his advice was pretty much to focus on getting better right now and not so much about the reimbursement and that I should not take a settlement until I am feeling 100%. He said to see how I feel after a couple weeks and if this turns into a multiple doctor visit situation to call them back as I may need legal counsel at that time. Largely his message was to focus first on getting better, then settling finances later. Sounds like so far I’ve taken all the right steps.

Good deal, sounds like you’re on the right track

Good for you. My intention was never to convince you to betray your own values. I have dealt with these sort of issues regularly because of my employment and I know how it works. I have seen people screwed out of what they really deserve. I was not saying to commit insurance fraud and make up injuries that didn’t exist.

I read your entire post. I can’t speak to your own experiences, I have no idea what really happened in your case, so I set that aside. I will, however, address this post in all facets.

Your first statement is entirely false. People do receive just compensation for injuries on a regular basis. I have many friends who work in insurance, and write checks for claims all the time. I also know victims of accidents who have had more substantial claims that went through the court system. These victims were compensated, and they didn’t have to exaggerate anything.

Because really, if you’ve actually been through a traumatic incident and had a serious injury, what court/insurance company wouldn’t compensate you accordingly? Our system that you’re criticizing is actually extremely lenient when it comes to monetary settlements.

As to your second point, I have no idea what you think you’re saying, but it’s not a good point at all. I don’t remember saying at any point that everyone acts honestly without ever cheating and stealing. What I CAN say is that I don’t do cheat, lie, or steal. I don’t give a mother fucking flying fuck what you do, or what others do. That’s absolutely NO EXCUSE for me to act like a shitty person. But I guess that’s how YOU justify being a shitty person yourself. Everybody else is sitting on their couch watching reality shows and getting fat too, right? Does that mean anything to the members of this site?

And now we get to the best part. All of a sudden you don’t know if he was really hurt? And you don’t know how much he got? What happened to “I don’t think he was seriously injured”? What happened to “he received a forty thousand dollar settlement”? You were VERY SPECIFIC on this. Were just bullshitting? You probably made the entire story up about your own injury. After all, we know how you feel about lying. You were very blunt about that.

I’m in a fairy tale land.

And you are dog shit.

Have you considered the possibility that the shameless milking of claims is the reason why the system is the way it is right now? The reason you’re taking so much heat in this thread is that you think that ‘everybody else is doing it’ is a fair justification.

And another thing: only the parasites, liars and weasels of the world rub their hands and salivate at the thought of scoring a large compensation payout .

Those who sustained genuine lasting injuries are too busy struggling through health problems. The cheats aren’t hard to spot.

Okay whatever man. You don’t know me so I would hold off on accusing me of being a shitty person. Give a mother fucking flying fuck or don’t give a mother fucking flying fuck I could give a mother fucking flying fuck.

I am done with this thread. The take away of what I was trying to say should be to ere on the side of caution and fight for what you deserve. If I were in Beefs position I would automatically be on the defensive because I feel its these insurance guys job to screw you out of whatever you may be entitled to. They refer to these pay outs as losses.

Good luck with your recovery BeefEater

I’m sure there are people out there, somewhere, like that.

However, in personal experience and that of friends and family (fire, flood, “normal” car accidents, and a near-fatal car accident), the insurance companies have not just taken care of things – property damage, flood/fire recovery and medical expenses – but have always gone quite a ways above and beyond. Without exception.

This concussion business is more than I had figured. I’m surprised at how genuinely shitty I feel and the limitations on things I can do. I tried driving to my classes last night and I felt like I was driving high. I couldn’t focus on anything unless I tried really hard and doing so took all my energy and made me nauseous and I was oblivious to everything else around me. Not a good situation. Feeling really lousy all around. I have had to take a medical leave from school for the first half of classes this semester (they run in 8 week blocks).

It takes a while for some injuries to reveal themselves following a trauma. Concussions run like that, they take a while to emerge. Heal fast!
