A beutiful day....

[sharpshooter33 at adelphia.net (David Brown)]

I've had alot of experience with rip off companies aka insurance companies. 
They know that time is on there side....so they can offer low and just wait 
until you give in...It's been my experience that if you state "it clipped my 
hand or smacked my leg ....I'm sure it will be ok, but I am thinking of 
seeing the doctor to check it out" they like to settle real quickly.
If there's personal injury they want you settling before you can sue them 
for long term injury....
I HATE INSURANCE COMPANIES!!! They are in the business to make money never 
forget that.
Just my $.02 with a attitude. 8-(
