Q: If the PPD payments are straight math then why do we hear of insurance offering more to settle and close?
The insurance person offered $1000 extra payment to close the claim. This makes us think there is more than straight math in play. We also learned that mileage to medical can be included - the insco never told us this we had to find out on our own. What else are they not telling us?
