What is the name of your state?TN
To try to make a long story short, I was in an accident last friday where I was rear ended by another vehicle. I was actually in a loaner car from my car dealership as they were doing repairs on my car and I was a block away from the dealership trying to get my car when the accident occurred, but that's irrelevant. Anyway, the cops were called and they took the other guy's information as well as my license information. The dealership and the guy that hit me also exchanged information. The only person that I gave my number to was the guy that hit me just in case his insurance company needed to talk to me.
Since all of this occurred I have talked to the insurance company and told them what happened and that I was not physically injured, however I have received at least 9 phone calls from people from other companies saying that they "heard" that I was involved in an accident and was "seriously" injured. Well after 3 of the calls, I stopped answering and they keep leaving me messages.
Here is my question. Is the insurance company allowed to give my phone number to these people? It was my cell phone number that isn't even listed in my name so I know the companies had to get the numbers from there. Is there any way to stop these people from calling me? Is it even legal for them to keep calling me if there was in fact no injuries reported?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!
