The painfully slow socialized medical care at the ER and the trick question from the adjuster

This is part of our continued coverage on my wife’s injury claim with Progressive

By the time I had showed up to the accident scene ten minutes after my wife first called me, she was already complaining of instant neck pains and a severe headache. Anytime you have head trauma, it is wise to be seen by a doctor right away. I first took her to an InstaCare, but they wanted us to pay up front for the visit. They would not bill my insurance. Because I didn’t have any cash on me, I drove her to the nearest ER.

While sitting in the ER, the adjuster from the at-fault driver called my wife. This was less than 1 hour post accident. One of the first questions he asked was, “what are your injuries?” This question only has one intention this soon after the accident. The adjuster is trying to get you to say that you are feeling fine. Most whiplash symptoms will not show up for a few hours or even days after the accident. The adrenaline is pumping so high that you probably don’t feel much pain, if anything at all, especially within the first hour of the accident and you certainly won’t know the full extent of your injury for a few weeks or even months. If you tell the adjuster that you are feeling fine, he will hold it against you for the rest of your claim. I whispered to her to tell him that she did not know the extent of her injuries and that we would call him back Monday after being seen by the ER.

CarCrashAssist.com documenting my wife’s accident

Unfortunately for my family, the realities of being involved in a car accident came to fruition on Friday afternoon when my wife was rear ended while sitting at a red light. Fortunately for my family, it appears no-one was severely hurt (only time will tell).

Luckily for you, I will be documenting the whole ordeal on CarCrashAssist.com to show you that the information contained on this site and in our Settlement Booklet™ can help you navigate the waters of insurance claims and help you get the most value out of your personal injury settlement.

I recently posted an article on the importance of taking pictures of the accident scene, especially the property damage and injuries. Right now my wife doesn’t have any bruising, so we didn’t need to photograph any injuries, but I did get some pictures of the property damage. Here is the reason you need to take pictures whenever you are involved in a car accident:
