What is a Letter of Protection or Medical Bills Lien?

Image
 If you have sustained the unfortunately circumstances of having been in an accident, you may have medical bills. After you receive medical services, they will usually send you a bill for the services. These medical bills can be astronomical. One of my clients have medical bills upwards of $90,000.00. As a car accident lawyer, I routinely guide clients through the process. Most of the time I can contact your local medical provider and request a letter of protection or lien on your car accident case. As an Attorney, if a Doctor sends me a lien and the case settles, as per Bar rules I am required to satisfy the balance with the provider before disbursement to my client. Sometimes this entails negotiating with the provider on the amount of the bill. Occasionally, I am able to negotiate amount of bills with the doctor. I have seen as much as a %80 decrease in medical bills due to negotiations. Though I am not always able to obtain this sort of decrease in medical billing it is usually ...

Lawn Mower vs. 60 miles per hour car

Image
 Earlier this year I secured a bodily injury settlement of $35,000.00 for a client that had been struck by a vehicle while on his lawn mower. My client was riding his lawn mower when a small sedan hit him going approximately 60 mph. Fortunately, he survived and that is the true success story with this case. The small sedan driver had bodily injury policy limits of $10,000.00. In other words all of the insurance money available from the insurance coverage the driver had was $10,000.00. In Florida the minimum coverage, which is what most drivers have their, is $10,000.00. My client however, had $300,000.00 in UM policy limits. A UM policy is an Underinsured/Uninsured motorist policy that essentially kicks in if you get into an accident with someone that does not have enough coverage or any coverage. UM polices are highly advised as they provide additional protection in the event of an accident. My client had huge medical bills in the amount of $60,000.00 plus. Most of his medical bil...

Premises liability claims can entail numerous scenarios that in injury. Perhaps the most common premises liability claim is the well known " slip and fall " claim. This is when a property owner neglects to maintain a safe place for patrons of their business.

For example, some states have even gone into the various elements of each claim creating case law that depicts requirements of the amount of time a slippery substance must be on the floor before the reasonably prudent person standard has been satisfied. Another premises liability claim may entail a property owner negligently maintaining there property. For example when a property owner ...

Image
 On Tuesday, December 8, 2020 there was one confirmed fatality in a trucking accident. The incident occurred in Pittsylvania County, Virginia. I am a Trucking Accident Attorney, if you have been in a accident you should call me for your free consultation. A sedan collided with a semi-truck which caused as fire to start. There is currently no indication from the authorities as to whom is at-fault for the accident. When a passenger sedan impacts a semi-truck there is no match, the sedan will most likely be destroyed every time. This is because of the massive force that a semi-truck carries when it is moving.

Uber, Lyft and Ridesharing Apps Car Accident Claims

Image
 I represent clients who have been in auto accidents while using ridesharing apps like Uber and Lyft. Each car accident case is different. Every case requires its own evaluation, diligent investigation and review. To that end, when a potential client calls me for a free consultation I use my experience, legal knowledge and detailed oriented approach to evaluate every claim as a car accident lawyer. When a client is in a vehicle accident usually one of the first things I do as an Attorney is check to see what insurance policies are applicable. Generally, I get the letter of representation and insurance policy request letter out the same day that the client signs up with me. This is important because for the most part the insurance company should be interacting with me as a lawyer and my client needs to know how much coverage is available for their claim. I have had more then one client that wanted to seek more medical treatment because of accident related injuries however could not ...

What is a Underinsured/Uninsured Motorist Policy Insurance Claim?

Image
 What is commonly referred to as the UM policy, is also known as the Underinsured/uninsured motorist policy. The UM policy is an insurance policy you can purchase yourself. It is insurance coverage that is used in the event another person causes an auto accident and is not insured or is underinsured. The UM Policy can also be triggered if you become the victim of a hit and run accident. Hit and Run UM Claim: One case I represented a client that was the victim of a road rage hit and run. My client was heading home from work one day when another motorist pulled up beside him while on the highway. The other driver became angry providing the middle finger to my client and clearly shouting obscenities. This went on down the highway until my client pulled off the highway on an exit towards his home. The belligerent motorist proceeded to follow my client to the next stoplight where he gently rear-ended my clients vehicle. At this point, the insurance policies become in effect. As the othe...

Emergency Landing in Virginia

Image
Yesterday, an airplane made an emergency landing in South Boston, Virginia. The news cited a fuel pump problem. I fly Cessna 172's where the fuel tanks are above the engine in the high wing, so a fuel pump is not entirely necessary. As a pilot myself, I understand that this sort of emergency is planned and trained for routinely. In order to obtain your pilots license you have to practice emergency landings. Part of the pilots practical test is for the Designated Pilot Examiner to pull the power from the engine while you are flying along and see how you react. The engine out checklist is usually right next to the pilot in the cockpit. The pilot in South Boston Virginia landed the airplane on 501 a wide street. On the Emergency Checklist for engine outs is to first establish best glide speed then pick a place to land. Following those two pre-requisites, we then go into engine restart procedures. Best glide speed is essentially the speed that the airplane will get the most distance ac...

How the flight controls affect An Airplane 737 MAX

Image
  As a general matter whenever an airplane accident occurs the presumption is the pilot did something wrong. Quite often, this is correct. However, not always as with the case of the 737 Max. The flight accident investigators determined that the airplane angle of attack indicator. As determined from the black box(which is usually red). The pilots attempted to fight the assist however, it was more powerful then the pilots physical strength. One of the first checks we do as a pilot at engine start is check to make sure we can over power the autopilot. However, if this isn't even on the check list or not realistic or not trained for then as a pilot you don't know what you don't know. The Flight Controls: In the planes that I currently train in there is a auto pilot release button. Essentially, if the autopilot is engaged, the pilot hits the button and auto pilot disengages. This is important because the autopilot can put you in a pitch or flight direction that is not good. The...

Pedestrian Wrongful Death Case

Image
 A pedestrian is someone traveling by foot. This is typically thought of as a person walking along a sidewalk or jogging. I have represented the families of deceased loved ones whom were killed in pedestrian car accidents. One of my clients family member was walking across the street when a car traveling approximately 55 miles per hour struck him and killed him. He was declared dead on arrival at the hospital. In the United States, a pedestrian typically always has the right of way. This is an important assertion because, as I am sure you can imagine, it would be chaos in the streets if a pedestrian did not always have the right of way. When a vehicle strikes a defenseless pedestrian the impact usually results in serious injury. Pedestrian Fatalities in the Commonwealth ranged from 78 to 121 per year from 2013 to 2016. Some preventative measures that can be taken by pedestrians are: Wearing reflective gear at night. Using sidewalks especially when they are available. Staying to th...
