Greetings,
I was involved in a car accident at work. Due to workers comp having difficulty in locating a doctor to provide a rating on me and other factors, we are very near our 3 years for the statute of limitations. We are having to use our underinsured motorist claim to cover pain/suffering etc. Our insurance company told us (in writing in July) that submitting in writing a request for arbitration would Tol the Statute of limitations. Therefore we submitted this request in writing. Today, less than 1 month from the statue expiring, our new adjustor told us that what we were told was incorrect. She even verified that the previous adjustor had said that and spoke with her about this being incorrect.
Do we have any recompense with errors in omissions (or other options) for what we were incorrectly told by the adjuster? Had we known what we were told was incorrect we would have hired an attorney this summer to file suit to tol the statute.
Thanks for any assistance.
