The insurance commissioner office doesn't do a thing either to punish insurance companies. Who take advantage of injuried victims by not fairly, compensating people or fix damage done to their car. Everything Is a big mess.

Deny deny deny. Do you have a lawyer working on this? If no, and can't afford, contact big law firms in your area and see if one will take it on either a contingency or pro bono. And if contingency, only if they can pad the damages for enough to cover both your expenses and their cut. Contact all your local action type TV reporters too. And keep pressure on the state agency overseeing SF.

If you read me report carefully you will note that State Farm told me, and I reported to Michigan Office of Insurance Regulation: in Sept, 2010 they did not intend to pay for any services not related to my left ankle and then in July 2011 they sent me a letter informing me of exactly that position. Meanwhile under Michigan Law a claimant has 1 year to file an action in court to recover for any bills that State Farm has not paid. Hence they let the statutory clock run under the quise of some sort of investigation and medical records searchs while all along they intended to take the very position that they ultimately took in July 2011 thereby limiting the time I have left to bring a suit against them! By the way, after I was seen by their IME in 2009 I informed State Farm I was packing a digital tape recorder during the entire IME and that Dr. Meddledorf falsely documented and quoted allegeded states that i did not make to him, the subject of yet another complaint I filed with Michigan Office of Insurance Regulation. State Farm immediately placed a restriction on me and will not talk to me over the phone. They demand that I put my "concerns in writing" when I call them and provide my claim number and then when I do put my concerns in writing they do not answer them. Yet another complaint I filed with Michgian Office of Insurance Regulation. (MOIR). I have to be fair to MOIR because they did get State Farm to pay for a theraputic bed and POV but in terms of handling each of the many complaints I have filed they get a "F" for handling the complaints! Our tax revenue pays this State Agency to regulate the Insurance industry in this State and they have a complaint form online. While MOIR did not close their file after the July 2011 State Farm letter, I really have to wonder how effective that agency really is in terms of regulating State Farm when I have given them more then ample evidence of this bad faith scam on State Farms part.
