After a car accident can I get paid wages while I’m out of work?

The answer isn’t as simple as one may hope it would, sometimes yes and sometimes no. It depends on several factors one of which is whether or not you were covered under workers’ compensation at the time of the injury and did the accident occur within the scope of your employment. Also if not covered under workers’ compensation then do you have a short term disability policy that covers you?

Big brother is watching in Siouxland - Traffic Cameras, Cha-ching!

There is so much to report on that I can already sense that it’s going to be a very busy week. The first news item is happening in Sioux City, Iowa. City officials spent $2 million installing 26 traffic cameras at the busiest intersections around the city. This should make the lawyers and judges happy because when it comes to car accidents a picture is worth a thousand words. Sweet!

Once Again I’m Defending My Client Old Man Winter

To put this case in perspective I need ask only one question. Can road conditions, including snow and ice, really cause a car accident? A few years ago I blogged about Iowa news reports blaming Old Man Winter for causing accidents; which by-the-way on behalf of my client we emphatically deny! Back then I thought we’d won this case, but apparently not because once again my client is being libeled. Today I’m here once again to defend OMW.

What is the minimum insurance coverage I need for a tractor trailer in the USA?

What Primary Liability limit does a semi-truck need to operate on the highways and roads of America? Tractor Trailers require a limit of $1,000,000 for operation; all other vehicles require coverage amounts according to the laws in their base state. See the Truckers Insurance Group’s FAQ’s and eHow’s discussion of Semi-Truck Insurance. The amount of coverage you need along with the types of loads you carry and the driver’s own record will dictate the premium.

FAQs

Car-Truck-Cycle Damage Q&A's

Am I liable to pay for a new car if the other driver's insurance is demanding it? I was in an a fender bender. I was the uninsured driver. Their car had only minor scratches and my car took the brunt of it and my bumper and whose got all jacked up and had other mechanical issues. Now the other party's insurance is coming after me for the price of a brand new car. What do I do?

Am I obligated to pay for the fees resulting from an auto accident? I hit and dented a guardrail four years ago. The highway department said they replaced it two years ago but it looks exactly the same after my accident. Do I have a case so that the state will drop the fee and pay for my legal fees?

Who is responsible for the accident if we hired a company to transport a consultant? We were hired by a private company to transport their IT consultant. A vehicle from us was accidentally smashed by a truck and my pick up vehicle is a total wreck. One passenger is dead. Now I want to know who will pay for the hospitalization of the driver? Is it the company who hired us? Or the owner of the pick up vehicle?
