If you are injured by another party’s negligence, the fact that the liable party has insurance coverage does not guarantee the policy limits will be enough to fully cover your losses. Your personal injury claim may exceed the allowable coverage, and leave you wondering how you are going to pay your remaining medical bills and lost wages.
Many states require all drivers to carry minimum auto insurance policy limits that include compensation for lost wages in the event that a collision-related injury puts you out of work for a substantial period of time. Being involved in an auto accident means that you may be suffering not only physically and psychologically, but financially as well.
Medical malpractice occurs when a healthcare provider behaves negligently and causes a preventable injury or illness to a patient. Medical negligence consists of failing to meet the standard of care expected of them, which can be committed by any healthcare provider, such as doctors, surgeons, anesthesiologists, nurses, pharmacists, hospitals, etc.
Nursing home abuse and neglect occur at a shockingly high rate. If you suspect your loved one or someone you know is in immediate danger, call 911. Otherwise, notify the facility’s administration, as they must check into reported abuse instances and make changes.
All car accidents are traumatic and often lead to severe injuries, but if a government vehicle is involved, it can bring its own set of unique complications. In most accidents, you can file a claim against the other driver’s insurance company.
Car accidents often result in severe injuries, but sometimes they are not immediately noticeable. Delayed pain can be serious for both your health and your right to compensation. That’s why getting examined after a collision is critical, even if you think you are injury-free.
