Accident Advice?
Hello all,
My girlfriend got in an accident a few months ago and the person that rear-ended her was at fault (as he should be). She went to the chiropractor for several weeks after that because her back was hurting.
Her car has been repaired and when it came time to discuss a settlement, she told the insurance company if they could give her $5K. They said okay, but that there was an outstanding balance of $1,400 for the chiropractors fees.
Should she have to pay out of her settlement for those fees or are they giving her a run-around? My family's lawyer said that she should not have to, but then yesterday she received another letter in the mail from her insurance company (?) stating that the total chiropractors fee was about $3500 and if she received any kind of settlement, she would have to reimburse the insurance company for that cost.
WTF is going on with this?!?!? What the hell is the point in having insurance if you are going to end up paying out of pocket for crap that wasn't your fault?
Please provide any experiences, thoughts, or advice. If any more details are needed, I can ask my g/f.
Thanks
