I was involved in a single auto accident in October. I had just purchased my newer BMW 1999 323i with 20,000 original miles. It was the car I'd dreamed of and I'd waited for for years. I paid cash in the sum of 14,500. Late one night I went to check on a friend who was stricken with cancer. I live in Oregon and It was a very rainy night. At around 60 mph on the freeway I hydroplaned and lost control of the vehicle and slammed into the cement wall. When I came to I crawled out of the car and shortly and ambulance came to pick me up and take me to the hospital. I suffered a broken collar bone, head trauma with vertigo, a sprained neck and back.
When I was released from hospital, I contacted my insurance group Nationwide and reported the accident.
They informed me that my coverage had been cancelled. I was devastaded. I never recieved a policy statement. This was a newer policy with full coverage I had paid for at the end of August (Appx. Aug 28 or 29 2007) I paid in the amount of 240.00. I thought I was covered through october. They informed me that they had wrong address. My Ex - spouses address He had recently moved from. He never recieved any policy either. We had both been insured with nationwide for years prior to this new policy. The local office however has had my address on file which has not changed in 10 years. When I asked to have it reinstated, they denied it. It had only been 13 days since cancellation that I was not aware of because I never recieved the renewal. After countless conversations and frustration I took my case to the state of Oregon. They were on Nationwides side as well because they did not help me either. Going up against a insurance company is like dealing with the devil. I am now physically injured for life as well as out 50,000 in loss of car and medical bills. I am a single mother. No one can help me. I just wanted to say in closing that "NATIONWIDE IS NOT ON YOUR SIDE"
