I found this while searching the innanet.
That's helpful. I hear there is no internet in Canada yet. They got it. It's only dial-up through AOL though.

If a third party paid your lost wages and medical expenses (your employer, for example) In some situations, if you get an insurance settlement, you have to reimburse these people out of the settlement you get.
I don't know if the above is the law or not, but I know someone who was in a similar situation and had to pay back her lost wages because the during the time she missed work, her employer paid her salary.
This could be a similar situation to yours', and the insurance company is holding back a certain amount to pay your employer back, and to pay your medical expenses, if your own insurance company paid for your treatment.
I don't know any of this to be a fact, but it could be an explanation.

if there's no intervention out there from some unpaid provider, it almost has to be some tax issue, Lynn.
let us know what the supervisor says.

Don't cash the check as in a lot of instances that will count as you accepting the terms of the settlement.
Fight fire, save lives, laugh in the face of danger.

As others have suggested, ask to speak to a supervisor and request an explanation of the 20% haircut on the settlement. If there are no liens to satisfy, it's likely a tax issue.
It's possible that they are taking the position that you are 20% at fault for the accident, some carriers often take aggressive positions on liability regardless of whether there is any evidence to support the position. However, in that instance you would expect the adjuster to articulate that in settlement negotiations, not after a settlement amount has been reached, so I find that scenario to be unlikely.
Let us know what you learn from a supervisor Lynn, and make sure to give 'em all the hell they want plus some.
