Progressive Group Refused treatment in uninsured motorist claim Mayfield Village, Ohio
In 2003 I was a passenger in my parked car in a store parking lot in Coos Bay, OR. An uninsured motxorist with no registration hit the car from behind. Progressive paid me for my bumper less deductible. My low back hurt but I said I wanted to see if it worked itself out. The adjuster said not to worry--I had up to a year to seek treatment. Six months later it was still hurting and I said I wanted to get it looked at. They said I waited too long. Fortunately, it stopped hurting over the next six months. They also told me they were going to take action against the motorist. They did nothing.

How do you know the insurance company did nothing toward the uninsured driver? If they successfully got any money from him/her it would be to cover what the company paid for your repairs.
As far as length of time to seek medical attention, read your policy to find out the correct answer.

But it has been 9 years so what is the reason you posted this after all this time? Should have sought medical attention after the incident. Also what were you doing sitting in the passenger seat of your own car?
