Insurance Company Pays Man's Settlement With $21,000 in Coins ?

I'm not sure I believe this

Andres Carrasco reached a settlement with Adriana's Insurance Service, Inc. this past June following a lawsuit he filed in 2012 in which he alleged an employee of the company physically assaulted him. The company paid his settlement with a check but also, his attorney claims, in buckets of change that amount to more than $21,000.

Carrasco's attorney told NBC Los Angeles that eight Adriana's Insurance employees pulled up in a van to his office and unloaded multiple five-gallon buckets full of quarters, dimes, nickels, and pennies. Carrasco, 73, had just undergone surgery for a hernia, and was still too weak to lift any of the buckets of change. "Adriana's Insurance, is this the way you treat everyone?" Carrasco said in a statement. "Why don't you like your clients?"

I found it through the NBC affiliate for LA. If true, they ought to revoke that insurance company's right to operate in the state.

I also believe that the Insurance Company's license should be revoked if the story is true! They are no better than any individual and should suffer similar consequences in the Court's eyes. To make the point, my old landlord (Tony, short for Anthony, a hot headed and bitter American Italian) when I move here had an old and rare Harley Davidson motorcycle that he was restoring. The paint and chrome work had been completed but it needed some repairs to the engine and whatnot that he could not do due to disabilities, so he took it to a Motorcycle Repair Shop that he was told was reliable. Well, reliable they were not and Tony had to track down the parts needed for the motorcycle, purchase the parts, have them shipped to him, then deliver the parts to the shop. After all he did, they botched the repairs and the motorcycle's engine was totally hosed and leaking oil. Well, Tony took them to court but they counter-sued and although Tony should have won in court, he did not because he was already disliked by the Courts for past Court appearances and antics and for the antics he pulled off during the Court appearances during the suit. Tony was hit with a repair bill of well over $3,000 and over $4,000 for Attorney's fees and fines. Tony drove hundreds of miles to every Bank that he could and got the entire settlement in Lincoln Memorial Cents and went and try to pay the settlement with it but the Repair Shop refused and the Courts hit Tony with another fine for Contempt of Court. If this happened to Tony, then why should an Insurance Company be any different. However, I feel that the Insurance Company should be held to a higher standard and the punishment by the Courts and/or Insurance Company Regulators, more severe!
