Are Cheap Repairs Part of an Insurance Scheme?
A special investigative report about major collision repair industry challenges allegedly imposed by major insurance companies on body shops…has been delayed from running on CNN’s “Anderson Cooper 360” TV program. The unlawful practice of insurer steering, improper repairs performed by auto body shops, and the current insurance-related litigation that burdens the industry…is the focus of the report that was originally scheduled to air on Feb. 9…but was rescheduled twice in as many days…and finally aired Feb. 11, 2015.
If your car’s ever damaged from an accident or repaired through a major insurance company in this country, there are major state and federal lawsuits underway that you should probably know about. Auto body shops across the United States…500 of them…claim that some big insurance companies have long deliberately skimped when it comes to repairing damaged vehicles…all so the insurance companies can have their profits. The lawsuits allege its a scheme that can not only lead to rushed and minimal repairs, but repairs that include using recycled, remanufactured…as one lawyer puts it “junk parts” …to fix your car. ~ CNN – Anderson Cooper 360
