ORIGINAL PRESS RELEASE:
Finally the time has come, even with all the political and financial pressures the insurance industry has been placing on CNN to NOT show the first of a very educational and important documentary, it will be showing Nationwide tonight, Monday February 9th, at 8:00pm EST on the Anderson Cooper Show !!!
This CNN undercover documentary will reveal what many of us have been facing, and testifying about for several years now ... that is what's really happening to consumers when they have an accident, have to file a claim with their, or the other insurance company, then get pressured, lied to, and steered by the insurance company to one of "their preferred network" repair facilities.
If you are on Facebook, you may have been seeing an increase of posts about this over the last few years ... the posts often graphically show the "preferred network shops" of the insurance companies that have private 3rd party deals, do whatever the insurance company mandates to cut their claims costs just to raise their profits by billions, regardless of placing the consumer at risk, compromising their safety, and their family's safety in another accident.
As collision repair professionals, we know today's vehicles have very advanced technologies built into their structural design, and many of the replacement parts should only be replaced with New OEM parts that have been tested, plus many of the repairs today require using special equipment, and may require special training and certifications, yet the insurance company typically does everything they can to convince consumers, that "repairs are repairs" and "parts are parts" ... regardless of what the manufacturers state in their repair guidelines, or what testing they have done.
They know that if the vehicle is not repaired properly using the correct parts, equipment, and procedures that have been designed by the manufacturer to ensure the same performance again and again,.. the vehicle will most likely not perform as designed in another collision, resulting in air bags not deploying properly, the crash energy not being absorbed as it should, and resulting in serious or even fatal injuries to anyone in the vehicle.
Do they care about the consumer ? They continue to claim that it is to save their policyholders premium dollars, but what they don't mention is that even in their own association (PCI) in depth study and released report on the savings ... just on using inferior untested parts ... it would only change the average policyholder's premium to just under $25.00 per year if they only used new OEM parts !
All this is going to be revealed in the litigations currently in Federal Court in Orlando, and additional documentary follow-up Stories, it will then be clear that insurers are not doing this for the consumer, but for their own extreme profits.
NOW ... TO THE IMPORTANT PART ... CNN looks very closely at the number of hits and comments on their website after they air a story like this ... and this one is going to be looked at very closely with all the pressure the insurance industry has tried just to squelch it from airing.
So PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE after the showing or even during, go to the CNN website and TELL CNN you want them to continue this series and get all the way to the bottom o
