I called my insurance agent today. I was surprised at what she told me. She said even if the check was cashed the insurance company would reopen the claim if she had further medical issues. I was taken aback by that.
She then said she wasn't sure about where "pain and suffering" fit into all this as in if that would negate anything. Like we know, she said pain and suffering is a very subjective thing. She was incredibly curious about how this was going to play out and wanted me to call her back when it was over so she could pass the knowledge on in the future. She was also thrilled we weren't into frivolous lawsuits. She was audibly annoyed by the folks who do such things.
My next move is to contact the woman in claims my wife spoke to and ask about my wife getting an MRI to be sure she's fine and or about more than just 500 bucks. My wife wants to drop it and leave it alone but she hates confrontation. Oh, and no...that doesn't apply to me. I guess I'm her one exception.
