Companies do NOT care...

Companies should not care. All I stated was that the insurance should fulfill its end of the contract(payout benefits). If they find out later they were defrauded, then take the client to court. Do not treat every incident as fraud.

So just pay first and check the facts later? Hmmm, well if you ever get put in charge of an insurance company let me know. I could use some new stuff.

Are you serious? Its been over a month since the claims were initially put in. It shouldn't have taken more than a week, and her pay never should've lapsed. But yea, keep sticking up for the insurance companies...they're really hurting and need all the help they can get. Poor insurance companies.

No, this thread is not about you Josh... We intentionally moved this argument away from your specific situation out of respect for your family. Afaik we are now discussing general concepts and not specific situations. I once waited over three months for workman's comp... I'm not saying that the insurance companies are perfect but again, because you've brought it back to you, she has only missed two weeks pay...I believe you said that the company actually paid here for two weeks... even short term disability has a minimum limit before they pay. I don't know what coverage she has and I KNOW from experience how frustrating it can be to deal with insurance companies ...again maybe she should have someone less emotionally attached talk to them. Usually, there is information that is not being relayed the could be responsible for the hold up. Idk

Hardly.... I just don't believe that they aren't giving her any reason for not paying her if they owe it to her. Again, I don't think ins cos are perfect but I have a hard time with the "evil little men" trying to screw policy holders out of their deserved claims pov as well. They are telling her something, we just don't know what it is yet. I've had several claims in my life and I've never had an adjuster just tell me no without some reason...

Yea you're right...when your situation is referenced I go back to it... I'm honestly sorry. I really want to discuss insurance companies in a generally sense but it comes back to your situation. I don't want to get into it because it's a bad situation in general. Btw I hope your friends don't Lowe their houses and car over two weeks of pay...
