As a parent, you want to encourage your child to ride a bike. It provides a great physical activity that gets your child outside and enjoying the sunshine. Unfortunately, bike riding—especially bike riding in the street—is not without its hazards. In Pasco County, where New Port Richey is located, 434 bike accidents took place during the last three years, leaving 413 injured and 12 dead. If your child is hit by a motor vehicle while riding a bike, do you know how to respond? Can a child be at fault? Is the driver of the car automatically considered responsible for your child’s injuries? (click on this article to learn more)

TwitterFacebookGoogle+LinkedinPrintEmail In 2007, CNN investigative reporters did an expose on how insurance companies handle “minor” accident claims, revealing exactly how it affects consumers. In this article, we are revisiting that report to reveal how it affects our clients. Th
Matthew A. Dolman's insight:
insurance companies adopt a strategy of “take it or leave it” for the payouts they offer. In many of thesecases, the offered amount doesn’t even cover a fraction of the victims’ expenses. The insurance company knows that customers are so relieved to get at least something, that they’ll take the offer. This is not how this process should work. After all, most of us have insurance so that in the event of an accident, we don’t have to worry about going bankrupt over the medical bills and lost wages.

Matthew A. Dolman's insight:
Getting into an auto accident with a prior existing injury can be stressful and puzzling experience. Insurance companies will claim that your new alleged injuries are just an aggravation of your pre-existing injury. Many clients who need to use personal injury lawyers have a history of some prior injury or pre-existing medical condition such as prior back and neck pain, head injury or other general aches and pains. When the new accident happens, it may reactivate some of these pains but more often, if the accident is serious enough, the new injuries are only acquired because of the crash. However, the insurance company will use the information about your prior condition against you. (click on this article to learn more)

Matthew A. Dolman's insight:
A neck injury can lead to serious impairments, injuries and in some cases, death. This is because the neck contains part of the spinal cord, the bundle of nerves responsible for facilitating voluntary and involuntary signals from the brain to other parts of the body. This system is known as the nervous system. Injuries to the nervous system can result in paralysis, paresis, and other life-altering conditions. Neck injuries are not always spinal cord injuries, though. In many cases, an individual can suffer from a herniated disc in his or her neck, stiffness, soreness, and tearing of the muscles or ligaments in the neck.

Matthew A. Dolman's insight:
The experience of a car accident is a frightening one, whether it is a small fender bender or a serious crash. Adrenaline and shock tend to take over in the moments after an accident and your sensible reasoning can become clouded. Even if you’re not in pain immediately following the accident, you should seek medical attention right away. Take a deep breath and know the differences between seeking medical care from an emergency room or urgent care center following a car accident.

So how serious is drowsy driving? According to a study conducted by the AAA Foundation for Traffic Safety, tired drivers have cause around 21% of fatal crashes. Statistics can sometimes be misleading. They apply to the variables of the test, not necessarily the entire world, they change constantly, and they can never be 100% accurate. The cool thing about them, though, is that they give us an idea of what could beclose to the real numbers. That means that 1 in 5 crashes involve a sleepy vehicle operator. That seems like a pretty big deal to me! Driving under the influence is somewhere around 2 in 5 crashes.Texting while driving is the same as drowsy driving, accounting for 1 in 5 crashes as well.

Matthew A. Dolman's insight:
When it comes to recovering for losses caused by someone else’s negligence, this question is often asked with little patience. Put quite bluntly, victims of negligence often times just want a straightforward answer; a ballpark estimate to what they could be looking to receive in terms of monetary compensation for their personal injuries caused by the alleged liable party.

How Uber’s Accident Insurance Works
Drivers use their personal vehicles and are not always on the clock: If the driver is not logged into the Uber app and available to accept rides, then only the driver’s personal insurance is in play in the case of an Uber accident lawsuit.
If a driver is logged into the app but hasn’t accepted a ride from a fare-paying customer, then Uber’s insurance offers no collision coverage. However, it does offer an additional liability coverage for third parties (others involved in the accident) of a maximum of $50,000 per injury (up to $100,0000), as well as a maximum of $25,000 for property damage, for damages that exceed the capacity of the driver’s personal insurance.
Only if the driver is actually transporting a customer does the full $1 million of collision and liability coverage provided by Uber kick in for the following purposes:
