State Farm is currently under investigation for suspected deceptive medical exams and document reviews. We pay our car insurance company for peace of mind that if we’re involved in an accident we will be taken care of.

Unfortunately many people discover the hard way insurance companies really only care about their bottom line. Here’s what can go wrong:

- You sign a medical release form to allow your insurer to obtain medical information directly from your doctor. (seems to make sense after all your doctor has your interests at heart)
- Your insurer asks your doctor to confirm that the treatment you’ve received is related to the accident. Your doctor provides an affirmative report to the insurer stating this is the case. Unfortunately you’re never informed of this report.
- Your car insurer asks one of its doctors to review your medical documents, maybe all the records are given to the doctor……and maybe not.
- To your surprise the insurer’s doctor claims there is no relationship between your injuries and the collision and your claim is denied.

Surely your insurance company wouldn’t do that! Think again.

This scenario is forcing consumers to file bad faith claims against their insurance company to try and obtain benefits due to them.

An attorney can help protect your interests when you are at your most vulnerable.
