When you’re selecting your auto insurance it’s important to understand your different coverage options. In general, you’ll have Med Pay and Personal Injury Protection (PIP) options. These forms of insurance pay for immediate and necessary medical services in the event a car crash results in injuries. In order to take care of medical issues promptly, insurance companies pay for their own client’s expenses. To understand what coverage is right for you, we’ll discuss the differences between Med Pay and Personal Injury and what’s required of you as a Maryland resident.

No matter how you feel after an auto collision, you need to get a medical evaluation from a doctor. You may think that you’re uninjured or feel like everything is okay, but this doesn’t mean you’re completely healthy. It’s common for car accident injuries to have delayed symptoms, meaning they take a while for you to feel or notice.

You may be wondering how this can happen. During a collision, your body fills with adrenaline. The shock of what happened blocks the symptoms of the injuries, leading you to believe that you’re unharmed. But even if you’re able to walk away from an accident, you may find yourself in incredible pain the next day when you wake up. Symptoms could take a few days or sometimes weeks to present themselves.

Our state sees its fair share of car accidents. Because of that, there are a number of laws in place to handle collisions and protect crash victims. In general, a crash needs to be reported if someone sustained injuries, the vehicles cannot be moved, one of the drivers seems to be intoxicated, one of the drivers does not have a license, the wreck was a hit-and-run, or if the accident damaged public property.

There are multiple codes that establish the car accident reporting guidelines, how you can make a post-accident report to the Motor Vehicle Administration (MVA), and how to report an accident involving a domestic animal.

Health care is one of the most complicated matters to U.S. citizens. There are many different healthcare options, and people often may not know how exactly their plan works outside of using it to cover their usual prescriptions and doctor check-ups. However, when a serious injury happens from an accident such as a car collision, the victim’s hospital bills can be substantial.

If you’re in the process of filing a car accident injury lawsuit, knowing the laws in place to help those with healthcare plans may help you understand your case better. Let’s take a look at what protects some health care plans, what those protections do, and how they apply to certain situations regarding health insurance.

If you’ve filed a personal injury claim after suffering catastrophic injuries, you may be eligible for compensation from the negligent party that caused your injuries. Calculating that compensation can be difficult if your future cost of care or future lost wages need to be taken into consideration. This is where the concept of present value comes into play.

In order to understand the concept of present value of future losses, you first need to understand how compensation works for personal injury claims. The legal term for compensation is damages. In a typical personal injury case, damages are separated into economic and noneconomic categories.

Economic damages refer to the monetary expenses related to your injury. These can be calculated exactly and there is no limit to the types of claims that can be made or the amount a person can be awarded. The most common types of economic damages include loss of earning, loss of future earnings, medical expenses, cost of future medical care, costs associated with canceled plans, and household expenses.

After a serious car accident you weren’t at fault for, you’re likely left with injuries that will need care. Since you weren’t responsible for the accident, insurance will cover your medical costs. However, you may find later that you’re being asked to pay some of those costs back. Subrogation of health insurers is a complex matter and you should have a professional at your side when this matter arises.

If you’ve been the victim of an accident and are pursuing legal action, you and your lawyer will discuss the concept of negligence. In order to receive compensation for your injuries and losses, you’ll need to prove that the other party caused your accident and that it should have been prevented. No matter how you sustained your injuries, whether it was in an automobile accident, the result of a physician’s error, or because a business owner did not maintain their property, negligence is a factor that needs to be proven. In some instances, when additional recklessness caused the accident, gross negligence may be a factor you and your lawyer discuss.

You or a loved one could sustain terrible injuries, and sometimes negligence results in death. In some cases, gross negligence may have occurred.
