Workers’ compensation claims cover injuries that are work-related and occurred while on the job and prevent a worker from resuming his / her job duties for a period of time, typically 10 days or more.
Criminal defense cases cover both criminal suits — charges brought by the government to punish an individual for an act classified as a crime — and civil suits — claims brought by individuals or organizations as a dispute over rights and duties.
You can make an injury claim under your own insurance for uninsured motorist benefits. In Nebraska, it is mandatory that every auto insurance policy include uninsured and underinsured motorist coverage (UM/UIM). You can review the declarations page of your auto insurance policy to see a summary what coverages you currently have; however, the minimum requirement for uninsured motorist coverage in Nebraska is $25,000 per person and $50,000 per accident. Furthermore, uninsured motorist coverage applies regardless of whether or not your vehicle was involved in the accident. If you have been injured in an accident and the other driver who caused the accident was driving without liability insurance, speak with a personal injury lawyer to discuss your options and find out what coverages may be available.
The short answer is, it depends. Whether the liability insurance carrier will cover all of your medical expenses depends on a number of factors, including whether or not the insurance company accepts liability and whether there is any dispute as to causation of injuries. Potential dispute as to your medical expenses is just one more reason you want all of your medical expenses to be processed through health insurance. Contrary to what many healthcare providers will tell you, it’s in your best interests for all medical bills to be submitted to your health insurance. Submitting your bills to health insurance allows you to take advantage of the contractual rates your insurance carrier has negotiated with your healthcare providers. It also assures that your bills will get paid on time.
