But, I agree - don't sign off on anything even if I feel better. I haven't talk to anyone that disagrees with that.

The insurance company is on the line!!! Yeah!!!

So what you are saying is that you are a "pain in the neck?"

Praying for speedy recovery for you and minimal hassel from insurance company - you can negotiate for pain and suffering as well as any time missed from work. You shouldn't be out one dime of your own money. All expenses covered. Kindness (but firmness) to the adjuster goes a long way - at least that was my experience with last wreck! Best to you!

A little off the subject but I get weary of APOSTOLIC people trying to collect insurance money for accidents!

I have seen Apostolics who are SUPPOSED to be honest fake injury so they can collect a check from insurance agencies. I think its very dishonest.

Once lady was rear ended and there was a small little dent on the bumper, she got hauled off to the hospital in an ambulance then came to church with a neck brace just so she could get a 6000.00 settlement. No matter how you cut it, this is dishonest! Its STEALING and LYING.

I pray people will think before acting this way as Apostolic Believers.

Fraud is a sin - no matter what you call yourself. Legitimate claims should be filed and paid - That's the standard of truthfullness and fairness that needs to be followed.

It is a little off topic!
I know as one who was seriiously rear ended & had 5 slightly herniated discs, I am in pain everyday & would give every bit of money back (the little I did get) for one chance to have a normal back.

If you have never been injured in a car accident--thank God!
You never want to go through that!

You're right!!!! - I've seen - I think - 122 (or was it 123?) Apostolics do that and just last year!!!

Thank you! It seems to be going smoothly. Will have two bids on the truck by Friday and will be having further evaluation on my back, just as a precautionary measure. The insurance company says they expect me to do that.

Sorry to hear you were in an accident. Don't rush to any settlements.

You will be amazed at how often neck injuries don't show up as long lasting. I was in a very small fender bender when I was 12 and to this day have trouble with my neck. So Jeff the size of the dent doesn't indicate the damage done.

I agree fraud is wrong, but I also agree that when injured you have a right for settlement.

I was nearly killed in a head-on accident. Although the courts awarded me $500,000.00 I never saw a penny of it. The drunk driver didn't have any insurance nor money and skipped out instead of coming to court.

Good luck, and I pray that you get what is right for you.
