Auto Insurance - Update Virginia has increased coverages
Automobile Injuries
I have handled tractor-trailer cases, automobile rollover cases, jack-knifed cases, and passenger injury cases, also called single-car accidents. Sadly, serious injuries can result when the driver of a vehicle loses control or drives off the road and collides with an object, and the passenger is seriously injured or killed. I have experience helping uninsured or underinsured people recover compensation for serious high-speed collision issues with heavy vehicles like tow trucks smashing into automobiles can be complete. It is important to take into consideration the special circumstances involved with large trucks like dump trucks or concrete trucks Impact dynamics with head-on collisions typically have more severe injuries with long recovery time periods.
Tractor Trailer Collisions
I have handled cases involving large truck or tractor-trailer collisions. The good news is that the insurance coverage is set by federal DOT law. I have handled a case where a tractor-trailer driver was distracted and/or tired and was on his phone when he ran into the rear of a vehicle and stopped at a red traffic light. Also, I have helped an injured person in a “wheel-off” case, also referred to as a wheel run-off, losing tires/axle tandem tractor-trailer case. It is important to understand the forces involved in a big truck accident and the Department of Transportation Safety Regulations that govern truck drivers and their companies. For example, We investigate a jack-knife case to determine a safety violation impacting forces and causing of injuries.
Long-Term Disability
I have helped persons who had long-term disability policies (non- ERISA and ERISA) who received denial letters when trying to obtain their monthly payments or a settlement. It is common to be denied coverage by your insurance company for physical and mental conditions such as gout, PTSD, spinal disorders, and arthritis.
Worker's Compensation
General Information on Workers Comp in Missouri: - https://labor.mo.gov/dwc
Generally, The Missouri Division of Workers' Compensation administers the programs, providing services to all stakeholders, including workers who have been injured on the job or been exposed to occupational disease arising out of and in the course of employment. The Division makes sure that an injured worker receives benefits that he/she is entitled to under the Missouri Workers' Compensation Law. The Division's Administrative Law Judges have the authority to approve settlements or issue awards after a hearing related to an injured worker's entitlement to permanent benefits allowed by Missouri law.
More general legal information is available by accessing https://labor.mo.gov/DWC/Division Units, and for injured persons – general information on the process, deadlines, etc. is available at https://labor.mo.gov/injured-workers.
Virginia: - https://workcomp.virginia.gov/
If you are injured, you can access the injured worker’s page and review what rights and legal benefits you have. If you are injured, you should seek legal information about who is considered an employee and what injuries are covered by the Virginia Workers' Compensation Act.
You should file a claim form, but first, you should report to your supervisor/HR person what was injured so they can have enough information to be on notice of the details of your injuries and when/where they happened. Your legal deadline is generally "no later than two years after the accident.” When your health issues are caused by a disease from work, it's more complex, but you will also have a deadline for filing a claim if you are diagnosed with a work-related disease.
General Deadlines: - 30 Days notice to your employer. This can be done in writing or by email; keep your proof of notice and get a receipt that they are aware of in writing. Your employer is obligated to file a report of the accident or disease with the Commission within ten days. So make sure you do this ASAP. Certain benefits and/or your claim can be negatively impacted if you don't—see failure to report your injury: Va. Code § 65.2-600 for more information. If you have witnesses, please keep their information and contact information if needed. You can file your claim in several ways: in person at the local VWCC office, by mail, fax, or by WEBFILE (online filing). Online is a convenient way to set up your claim, but you should consider seeking legal counsel first.
