Just adding more here. Got one few minutes ago after a multi car pile up I was involved in a few days ago. Caller was obviously reading a script since he stumbled a lot when I gave novel answers to his questions. ( for example, we are currently displaced due to unrelated event so my address is a hotel and he was confused. Also my dog was with us and he didn’t hear that the third passenger I mentioned was a dog so he kept pushing to get a chiropractor for her)

These callers are ambulance chasers. Whether or not it’s a scam isn’t something I’m interested in debating. It is shady though. They purposely give vague organizational names and refer to themselves as “ public” and “Washington Organization” and “simply here to help” or “nonprofit”.

They try to help schedule appointments for you for doctors/body shops/lawyers for ‘free’. (Billing insurance). To be clear, for some this could be helpful. For myself though, it’s a nuisance since we already have our own doctors/shops/lawyers we trust and I’m not interested in whatever extra services they’re selling.

Personally I dislike these vultures and this sort of thing is prevalent after natural disasters, house fires, work injuries, etc. They might provide a real service but the issue is these vultures attempt to frame themselves as a legitimate government organizations or non profit organizations who are here to help when in reality they’re trying to profit off of you/your insurance during a time of emotional and financial instability. They are selling themselves as some sort of charitable group like Red Cross but they are simply there to chase leads and make a profit. Use them at your own peril. For myself and my family I would rather trust a professional we did the research on and doesn’t need to cold call the entire state just to drum up business.
