Insurance companies take in billions of dollars of premiums each year from hardworking policyholders and then make record profits. But when the tables get turned and it's time for an insurance company to pay you a settlement because you were injured in an auto accident, the insurance company sings a different tune.
An insurer will use any excuse to avoid paying a fair settlement, but some of the more common ones are listed below.
•1 You were speeding and therefore could not avoid the accident (sung to the tune of Hot Rod Lincoln by Commander Cody).
•2 Your car had defective equipment which caused the accident (sung to the tune of Manic Mechanic by ZZ Top).
•3 You failed to use a turn signal (sung to the tune of Turn! Turn! Turn! by The Byrds).
•4 You were not paying attention before the accident (sung to the tune of Carefree Highway by Gordon Lightfoot).
•5 There were no witnesses to the accident except for the passengers in your car . . . and they don't count. (Can I Get a Witness? by Marvin Gaye).
•6 You were not wearing a seatbelt and were injured as a result (sung to the tune of You're So Vain by Carly Simon).
•7 You were drunk and/or high on drugs (sung to the tune of Red Red Wine by Neil Diamond).
•8 You ran a stop sign (sung to the tune of Stop! In the Name of Love by The Supremes).
•9 You already had your injuries before the accident occurred (sung to the tune of Your Cheatin' Heart by Hank Williams).
•10 You did not miss any time from work due to your injuries (sung to the tune of Taking Care of Business by Bachman Turner Overdrive).
