Poll of the Day > this claimant is 500lbs and has broken 4 chairs in my insured's hair salon

(+) Yeah! (+)

We could submit this claim to the Special investigative unit but whether they actually want to accept it with the indicators we submit is up to them. It's just unbelievable. Did he think we wouldn't he able to see he just submitted a claim for an auto accident? I mean I guess he did. But it's just nuts.

I knew his mechanism of injury made no sense. He must not have auto insurance. I wonder if the auto claim was filed by the other party and he was at fault so their insurance extended no benefits so he figured he'd try to get something from this stupid chair breaking this time. He told me he doesn't have health insurance and that's why it was so crucial he have this claim filed asap. I told him that these claims aren't able to be direct billed like health insurance claims so he'd still need to pay out of pocket for any treatment received and he got very pissed.

Dude they really are. It's amazing. Any time anything happens to someone they thinks it's finally their time for their big insurance payday. You offer them something and they get so offended it's not hundreds of thousands of dollars they think they're entitled too.

It's like man your tiny dog bite isn't worth more than two grand. I'm sorry. And I know you don't have an everlasting fear of dogs after getting bit by that tiny pomeranian so don't insult yourself and degrade yourself like that. Stop making yourself look like a total wiener just to get some cash.

When someone ran a red light and totalled off my car, the insurance company gave me 12k for a car that was maybe worth 9k.

So that was nice.

Yeah when someone rear ended my brother in my parents car they gave my parents $7k to fix the rust bucket rear end on a car worth $2k for some reason so that was cool.

You are 500 lbs, without health insurance coverage, and trying to shift personal responsibility away from your fault

How much more American can you get

If he was eating a hot dog while he was getting his haircut probably

While sitting on a bald eagle and shooting bullets at your insured's tires

I would say being 500lbs and not having health insurance is a horrible idea... but just being 500lbs alone is horrible, regardless of your insurance situation.

I don't really have any hatred for fat people, but I do always wonder how people let it get anywhere near that point. 250ish I can understand. Okay, you don't care about your body, refuse to exercise, and eat a bunch of junk. Fine. You'll get fat but you made your choice.

But 500lbs? It seems to me like it should legitimately require effort to get to that point. I literally have to count calories if I want to gain weight or I just won't eat enough. What are these people doing? How does this happen?

Getting to 500lbs means that everything you put into your mouth is extremely high calorie. Maintaining it means that's all your diet consists of constantly.

At least at 250lb you can say you're mildly active sometimes or you're not always eating.

At 500lbs your meals are huge and densely caloric.

if he's 500 pounds, he's probably on some sort of welfare, because outside of porn, idk what job anyone would hire him for and he should qualify at that point for some sort of social security, so him not having
insurance, even from the state, makes me want to know what job he has and why it doesn't have insurance
