They’ve got a tough lobby working on their behalf. I’m not sure they aren’t shielded by current law.
If the facts are purposefully distorted, willfull ignorance, in good faith, that is FRAUD. I have already contacted the MD State Department of environment and initiated a discussion with the individual in charge of handling waste fluids from cars, and examining the practice of returning wrecked automobiles to people whom due to on-going medical care, have not settled with the insurance company. I’m going to run an ad in the Baltimore sun of a drainage grate accross the street from where I stay which has a blue spray painted chesapeake bay warning on it, I may head to their headquarters and photograph the one there...
You have to change the law, go to the public comment sessions, get that on record, and then get it into the press..
I have started in MD. I heard something profoundly interesting in a discussion on medicaql reveiw boards and the VA, the assertion was: “anybody who questions the system or challennges it is pressumed to be gaming it.”
Well the assertion that there was not injury, the time it takes to get cracked teeth extracted, allow for gum fill, post set, and then a temp, and the final tooth takes close to a year! And thats PAYGO in absence of PIP.
So the question needs to be asked, if you dump that vehicle back onto the street, whom is responsible for leakage of fluids as a consequence of moving that totaled vehicle?
How many vehicles where this handled this way?
Current law, as it is legislated, is subject to the public comment, and the question I’m asking deserves a response which the Insurance commision ignores as they hold no public comment but the state of Maryland water quality has agreed to address.
It is bad enough they rippoff the injured and the insured, but pissing in the village well, and passing that cost to the taxpayer, is against the law!
Trust me as farm owner, I know the applicable law here on runoff, they are in violation of the law. Nobody has stipulated that yet....
While the law does specifically stipulate an assualt with per-se a baseball bat, it states bodily harm, and fraud goes to a systemic and organized effort to deceive and profit from establshed business practices.
