I read the replies to your post before adding this one . . .

Be advised, if the amount of coverage is six figures or higher the insurance companies will require the intervention of the courts to force them to settle, regardless of the wording of the contract. Do not expect an insurance company to simply fulfill their contractual obligations.

You should fully expect to piss away 1/3 of the stated coverage on legal costs incurred trying to get the insurance company in question to pay up.

You think the bases are covered because you purchased uninsured motorist coverage? Think again. Insurance companies will do everything in their power to wear you down when you are at your most vulnerable. There are huge profits to be made by simply wearing you down until you give up.

All I'm gonna say is that since my accident a little over a year ago my back is getting worse and worse. The more serious the treatments the more I'm glad that I "lawyered-up" right away.

I only sit behind a desk most of my day and by the end of the day I'm praying to God that something at least cuts the pain in half for another decade or so. I can only imagine if this fellow has similar or worse injuries what it must feel like for him to even try to drive a truck all day.
