    in these cases sometimes the insurance makes you sue even if you don’t want to because otherwise they won’t pay for any of the debt

    My colleague has a situation where he’s being sued by his neighbor for minor burns after a firework accident a few years ago 4th of July. The neighbor doesn’t want to sue him but has no choice to get the medical services paid for.

      The ultimate goal with insurance companies is to have you give them money and they never have to give you anything in return. If they can get you to sue the other person, the insurance company doesn’t have to pay. To them it’s a win-win.

      Weakly regulated insurance is a scam
