Crazy
Motor Insurance Claims
Okay, so there is this guy
driving down the road and all of the sudden a tree
appears from nowhere and jumps into his path. Who is at
fault?
Believe it or not, claims processors for auto insurance
companies often run into explanations for accidents that
defy logic and, at times, are downright comical. The
claim form for the tree accident may have elicited a
funny thought or two from the claims processor. Was the
tree carrying short term car insurance (visit this site
for
information) at the time of
the accident? After all according to the driver of the
car, the tree was clearly at fault. Does this accident
finally provide an answer to the age old question: Does
a tree in the forest that falls when no one is around
make a sound? The resounding answer, no! Trees move with
great stealth.
One driver indicated he/she was the victim of the black
arts. The claim form for a broken windshield stated the
cause of the damage was unknown. Therefore, it must have
been Voodoo. The claims processor may have wondered if
Voodoo fell in the category of damage due to natural
events such as flood, hail, lightning or tornado. The
processor may have wanted to ask the driver if they knew
who cast the Voodoo spell. Why should their insurance
company pay out when someone perpetrated a crime against
their insured? The claims processor may have wondered if
a suggestion to create a new short term car insurance
product that covered the black arts would garner any
rewards, promotion or salary increase.
Medical miracles have been discovered through insurance
claim forms. One driver was definitely not at fault for
the accident described on his/her claim form. This
driver had used all three eyes to insure the path was
clear. One eye was focused on the truck in front. The
second eye watched a pedestrian. And, the third eye
observed the car behind. The claims processor for this
accident surely wondered if the third eye was located in
the back of the head and possibly obscured by a wayward
lock of hair. The processor possibly thought about
submitting the information to The American Journal of
Medicine.
Crazy motor insurance claims abound. They are one of the
perks of being an insurance claims processor. Not only
do the claims made by drivers provide for a chuckle, the
potential responses of the processor can provide for
comic relief. So, did you hear about the one where a
driver claimed ……………………
