...but I did mention it at dinner with The Big Guy this weekend, discussing insurance companies' new and innovative ways to weasel out of paying claims:
You don't have to take my word for it anymore that Farmers Insurance is off its rocker in refusing insurance coverage to car-wreck victim Ethel Adams.
The state is giving Farmers until the end of the day tomorrow to either agree to pay Adams, injured in a road-rage crash, or face legal action. State Insurance Commissioner Mike Kreidler met yesterday with Farmers lobbyist Mike Kapphahn in Olympia and told him: "It's not a question of if you pay Ethel Adams, but when."
...Adams' odyssey into insurance hell started last March when a man named Michael R. Testa rammed his girlfriend's truck from behind to run it off the road. Testa bashed the truck across the centerline and into oncoming traffic, where it crashed into the Hyundai Adams was driving, squashing it.
The 60-year-old Everett woman spent nine days in a coma and five months in a hospital and a nursing home.
Testa had no insurance. But Farmers decided that the $2 million uninsured-motorist policies covering Adams didn't apply to anything Testa did because he caused the wreck on purpose.
