Farmers Insurance lies!!!! My husband was injured in an auto accident and a Farmers insured was at fault and ticketed. While in the hospital suffering from. cuts, bruises and a broken finger, he complained of chest pains. At first they thought it was from. The air bag bug decided to keep him in overnight. Finally they did an x-ray and found a tumor. Yes, he had lung cancer and we were not aware. No symptons at all. Because he was taking so much time off work for therapy because of the accident he was put on WC at only 40% of his wages. We filed with Farmers to make up the difference in lost wages fo 6 months.
This is the time before he was feeling the effects of his cancer. If he hadn’t been hit by THEIR driver he would have continued to work no knowing he had cancer. Farmers Agent Rosario assured my husband before he passed away that they would pay for pain and suffering, no matter how long it took to settle with his insurance co. It took 18 months for them to come to an agreement with my husbands insurance company and Farmers lost. In the meantime my husband passed away. I kept in touch with Rosario and she kept assuring me that they hadn’t forgotten me I would get a check as soon as the arbitration was completed. Finally she called and left a message the case had been settled. When I called to see when the check would be in the mail she said:
“Your husband is dead, isn’t he? We don’t pay pain & Suffering to dead people”
I told her she knew he was dead, but she still told me I would be getting a settlement. She repeated what she told me, WE DON’T PAY DEAD PEOPLE FOR PAIN AND SUFFERING. When I tell people what she said they cannot believe it. No one at the office will return my calls. Finally enough people have mentioned putting this on the internet that I have decided to do that. I don’t know whether to put it on face book, twitter or what, but I cannot believe a co. as large as Farmers would treat people that way and for such a small amount.
