Today, it feels like you cannot go anywhere without hearing about Coronavirus. It is certainly filling everyone’s thoughts each day. There is so much that remains unknown, but during these times of doubt, the health and safety of our community is the top priority.
However, for some individuals, reality of the virus has already set in. Day after day, we watch the numbers of individuals being diagnosed with Coronavirus rapidly increase. Many families are also having to deal with death of loved ones as a result of this illness. Dr. Anthony Fauci, NIAID Director, recently revealed that between 100,000 and 240,000 of our fellow American’s could die from COVID-19.
A car accident can happen in just the blink of an eye, and the first thing many people want to do is see a doctor for his or her injuries. But, who is going to cover your medical treatment?
Over 140 million individuals in the United States receive health insurance benefits through Medicare or Medicaid. If you receive this type of coverage, it may be used to cover your hospitals bills after an auto accident. However, there is a catch.
For hundreds of millions of people around the world, Coronavirus has us on lockdown, wearing masks, maintaining social distance and self- diagnosing every odd pain, sniffle and sneeze. Most of us want to bust out of this governmentally ordered self-quarantine faster than a politician’s promise that help is over the next horizon!
Coronavirus is on everyone’s mind, and rightfully so. In this time of uncertainty, the safety and well-being of our clients, staff, friends, and community at large is our top priority. However, life goes on for us at the Cardone Law Firm. We are getting calls, emails and texts from folks who have been involved in accidents and need our help.
Yesterday, I received a call from a prospective client, Jeffrey, who complained about injuries he suffered in a slip and fall. These cases can be extremely difficult for attorneys in Louisiana to obtain a recovery for you. Louisiana Law is crafted to favor shop owners, restaurants, retailers, supermarkets, hotels and other retail establishments.
On Saturday, October 12th, a devastating collapse occurred at the New Orleans’ Hard Rock Hotel, leaving three of the on-site construction workers dead.
In addition, 30 others were injured as the top floors of the building crumbled down in the midst of construction. Amid the chaos, two of the three deceased still remain unrecovered within the rubble of the disaster.
We handled this case for over 5 years, and needless to say, these two clients held a very special place in our heart, and they always will. We can truly say, God matched two great people together and it was a pleasure getting to know them both. A good attorney will learn everything they can about their clients. Their passions, their fears, their background – who they are. We did just that to put together this video story which was presented to the Defendants 1 month before trial.
This video story will take you on a journey with our clients. It’s a hard journey, and there is still a long road to go. We were able to successfully settle this case 3 days before trial. While we were ready to go, we were able to secure a fair and reasonable settlement which would provide for our clients’ future needs.
Auto accidents involving ridesharing companies like Uber and Lyft are unique because of the changing landscape of the laws that regulate such businesses. Under current company policies, drivers should be covered as long as they are logged into the app. Likewise, passengers should be covered too. The legal grey area, however, is when someone is on their way to pick up a client. In these cases, the victim of a crash will have to go through the driver’s personal insurance before reaching the rideshare company. In some other cases, injured passengers have to fight against the driver, the driver’s insurance, or even the driver’s contractor to receive fair compensation. So you just got into a Rideshare accident and you want to know what to do next? Let us explain what you need to know.
Do rideshare companies have their own insurance policies?
