I hear ya.
The insurance co. cut off my TTD every few weeks. I would call
the adjuster and never get a return call. I would end up having
to get their supervisor on their butt. I tried to go it with
out an attorney, but with the bad faith they have shown, I have
one now. Them adjusters must be like Snidly Whiplash types.
