Companies do NOT care...

Two things, and forgive me Josh, but I'm still wondering who was at fault for this accident in the first place? Why aren't they being called to the carpet to pay for this? In my experience when an accident is another party's fault, they pay all of your lost work, expenses, etc not your insurance company. They may be part of the hold up from her company...

Second, again I'm sorry but this is still kinda "recent" for an insurance company paying out/lawsuit talk isn't it? Seriously, it does take some time for these things to pan out. Was an insurance adjuster supposed to be standing outside the room with a check in hand the day after the accident? Trust me I want the little guy to be taken care of and it sounds like he is being taken care of... Are we really fighting over a couple weeks pay while the boy's life is still hanging in the balance? Can't that stuff be worked out after the kid is okay? BTW perhaps the father has better coverage that he may pay a higher premium for that got his paid all of his lost wages... Josh said himself that he doesn't know what her coverages are...if any.

Anyway, I hope that everything works out in the end but a few weeks pay would be the last thing on my mind at this point...

We aren't even talking about the auto insurance, at this point. What's under discussion is failure to pay STD or LTD, based on stress and supported by a doctor's report, which seems to be permitted under their group policy. HR has washed their hands of the situation, making the employee deal directly with the insurer. The insurer is shuckin' and jivin' to get out of their legal responsibility to the client.

So are we all on the same page now?
