Accident or illness benefits denied? Radio show addresses the issues

CBC's Ontario Today, an hour long news and call-in radio show is addressing on Jan 6th the issue of what car insurers and extended health insurers put legitimate claimants through in order to deny their benefits. You can find it at 99.1 or 100.9 or 93.5 (check online for your area) or you can listen online. The call-in number is 1-888 817 8995. The focus of the show is on seriously injured people with medically valid claims who are still being denied.

You would think that benefits would not be denied to people with serious injuries or illnesses but their denial gets ratcheted up big time when the car insurer or extended health carrier know that the illness or injury is serious enough to warrant long-term benefits. Insurers spend more not to pay than to pay legitimate claimants and they use all kinds of unsavory techniques to get you to drop your claim. How they go about this, and how you can protect yourself is all written out in "So You Think You're Covered! The Insurance Industry Rip-Off". Chair, Rhona Desroches who represents FAIR, an organization whose members are mva victims who have been put through hell by their insurers and are thus fighting for insurance reform, has said that the title of my book is very accurate.
