Injured at 1 job, they don't carry workers comp insurance but are paying medical bills but won't let me work with my medical restrictions. I have a second job that i can work with my medical restrictions. Are there repercussions for working my second job either for me or my second employer?
answered on Jan 14, 2019

But, you should be extremely careful so that you do not aggravate your injury, which the defense will use to argue they should not have to be responsible for treatment after that... View More

I’ve said since day one, the accident was my fault, she was not seriously injured, yet she chooses to get a lawyer and go on with this nonsense,... View More

If your insurance carrier was presented a "Stowers" demand for an amount within your policy limits and they failed to respond before the deadline, then the claimant can still proceed forward to try to get a verdict in excess of the policy limits. That would be one reason they set a trail... View More
is there some other way to figure out the identity of that driver and bring them to justice?
answered on Nov 26, 2018

Identifying the driver who ran into you would provide you a potential remedy other than your own UM/UIM coverage. If you are significantly injured, you might be able to also... View More

All of these people/entities are potential defendants depending on the facts. Additionally, depending on the... View More
