[QUOTE="Bad Company, post: 15784906, member: 141815"] I've been on both sides of dealing with insurance companies involving auto accidents. The one thing I can tell you is they want your medical records and copies of all test results for any bodily injury payout. With those records they'll want the Doctors you've seen to write medical reports concerning your injury/injuries received in the accident. I went through this 35 years ago, I'm sure the insurance companies haven't changed the way they decide how to pay you for a bodily injury claim. In fact I'd be willing to bet they require more documentation today to prevent fraud. Also they have a set amount they will pay for each injury depending on what your medical records state, the amount of money spent to find the extent of the injury and treat it. Otherwise you'll be in court suing them. You have to be proactive in finding your injury and treating it. What I mean by that is you need to make sure the Doctor you are seeing runs the gamut of tests to make sure he isn't missing anything possibly related to your injury. Without the test results to confirm a hidden injury, you receive nothing. If the test results show nothing, you receive nothing. But if the test results show an injury that could possibly result in you requiring treatment for it at a later time in your life, you will receive some form of compensation. I went through this BS 35 years ago with 2 discs that are herniated in my neck. Both discs are encroaching on my spinal cord. It was determined at that time to leave it alone, yet 2 neurological surgeons stated I would more than likely require surgery to fuse the 3 vertebra in my neck. Today I am supposed to get a yearly MRI of it. I don't follow the Doctor's orders on that, but I do get one every 3-4 years. My current neurological surgeon told me last year when she did an MRI of it that most Doctors would want to operate on it now. She said because my symptoms haven't changed to leave it alone, but again she warned me if I start having any numbness or tingling in my arms/hands ever again to seek treatment immediately. Treatment is a spinal fusion of the damaged discs from a 15 year old kid with no driver's license slamming into a 1969 Camaro I had. The amount of the insurance payout back then wont even begin to cover the medical bills for the procedure to fix what he screwed up, let alone the lost income for the recovery time. You have to be proactive in both the testing of your body to determine the injuries and the follow up treatment. Your thought process to date is I feel good, so I am good. There could also be underlying issues that take time to manifest themselves. [/QUOTE]
