Insurance Claim Humor

There are many examples of funny documentation errors in medical charts and I certainly have entered a few.

It is nice to know that nearly every profession has similar examples. Below are a few that were pulled from Insurance Claim Forms:

• 
  "I pulled into a lay-by with smoke coming from under the bonnet. I realized the car was on fire so took my dog and smothered it with a blanket."
• 
  "On approach to the traffic lights the car in front suddenly broke."


• 
  "I had been driving for 40 years when I fell asleep at the wheel and had an accident."


• 
  "I pulled away from the side of the road, glanced at my mother-in-law and headed over the embankment."


• 
  "The other car collided with mine without giving warning of its intention."


• 
  "I collided with a stationary truck coming the other way."


• 
  "In an attempt to kill a fly, I drove into a telephone pole."


• 
  "I had been shopping for plants all day and was on my way home. As I reached an intersection a hedge sprang up obscuring my vision and I did not see the other car."


• 
  "An invisible car came out of nowhere, struck my car and vanished."


• 
  "I was thrown from the car as it left the road. I was later found in a ditch by some stray cows."

Not sure what the result was on these claims, but it makes me feel better after reading them.
