    Its worth looking on a cashback site like Quidco when youre getting car insurance. I took mine out last year via Quidco and managed to get £100 cashback off what was my cheapest

    Try staying in the hospital for 6 weeks after a car wreck and then report back to us your feelings on insurance.

    ...what?.......I've got major medical and car insurance......which one do you think will pay for me to be hospitalized?
    If I have liability only, will my car insurance pay for me at Wake Med?
    And God forbid you or me or anyone of our friends or family were to be hospitalized for 6 weeks, but if so, PM me, and I'll get you in touch with a good attorney.

    Both, reverand. I dont do liability only so, Im not sure about it.

    My wife was in a wreck in 2001 (her fault) and did spend 2 weeks in the hospital (8 days in a coma) and 4 weeks in Carolina Inst. of Rehab. I was getting EOB's in the mail that were > $1M in services provided.

    Jeep was totalled and paid off. Auto kicked in around $5K towards med and the rest would have been up to me/us. Luckily we had just gotten married and I was able to add her to my company insurance as the enrollment period just happed at same time.:headbang: Once her BC/BS (from her job) ran out, my bennies kicked in and covered it. I was maybe $5K to $7K out of pocket after it was all said and done and made almost that much on the Jeep payoff.

    If I ever find the person responsible for you posting here, I'll stab them in the neck with an ice pick, and cleave off their limbs with a meat cleaver. :20_3_5:

    The bottom line is, people with bad credit are more likely to cost more. And yes, it is a blanket assessment. But that is what insurance companies do, spread the risk.

    I've seen the commercials but never checked them out. I assume the rates are bad because they specialize in crappy drivers or drivers with bad credit? Amazes me how people with bad credit get pissed when all they are offered are high rates. Yes, I know there are special circumstances, but I'm talking in general, which applies to most folks.
