A common question lawyers receive from potential clients is whether the client should accept an offer made by the defendant’s insurance company shortly after an accident. Insurance companies commonly attempt to encourage an early settlement of some claims by offering a relatively nominal settlement. There are some considerations that consumers should be aware of before simply accepting such an offer from an insurance company.

A common question lawyers receive from potential clients is whether the client should accept an offer made by the defendant’s insurance company shortly after an accident. Insurance companies commonly attempt to encourage an early settlement of some claims by offering a relatively nominal settlement, such as $1000 or $1500. It is not my intent, nor am I able, to give anyone advice about whether they should accept an offer from an insurance company and settle their claim. There are, however, some considerations that consumers should be aware of before simply accepting such an offer from an insurance company.

The number of victims suffering from mesothelioma cancer and asbestosis in Australia is continually rising and within the next several years experts anticipate that number to increase.

The purpose of uninsured motorist coverage is to compensate the insured for all of the elements of damage they would have been entitled to receive from the person causing the accident, but who carried no bodily injury insurance, or very low limits of coverage. Of this list of damage items, the only ones which would be covered by health insurance or Medicare would be “covered” medical expenses.

This is a very common question that we encounter in our practice. I’ve even heard of insurance agents who expressed the opinion that people do not need uninsured motorist coverage on their auto policy if they have health insurance or Medicare. The reasoning seems to be that following an accident their medical bills would be covered. Unfortunately, this reasoning fails to take into consideration all of the other benefits available from uninsured motorist coverage to someone who’s been seriously injured in an auto accident or to the estate of someone who has been killed.

This article describes how someone’s property is distributed under the intestacy laws of Pennsylvania should they die without a valid Will.

There’s an old adage that a person either devises his own plan in life or ends up as part of someone else’s. Because 50%-60% of the population never executes a Will, the majority of us will allow our state legislature to determine who is most deserving of our money, belongings, and real estate when we die. Why do otherwise intelligent people who work and save their whole lives fail to plan for the inevitable? Are we that trusting, that apathetic, that fearful, that cheap?
