Ty Wilson Law Podcast

We are contacted often by people who have been injured and they find out that the at-fault driver either has minimum coverage ($25,000.00) or no coverage.  When the injuries are serious and valued either over the coverage at-fault party has, then what can you do?

You should contact your auto insurance and see if you have UM coverage.  UM coverage stands for uninsured motorist or underinsured motorist coverage.  It is add on coverage that you must either select to include in your auto insurance coverage or you must select that you do not want UM coverage. 

UM coverage is critical if the other driver has no insurance or not enough.  Often times the insurance companies will not let you purchase more UM coverage than liability coverage, but they will let you purchase the same amount.  Is it expensive? No, not relatively speaking.  You see you can not stop the teenager from texting and driving into your and your family, nor can you stop the drunk from drinking and driving.  But you can do everything in your power to make sure you have enough insurance coverage so you are not hurt twice, once physically and once financially. 

If you have questions about Georgia personal injury claims you would like discussed on this podcast, contact us either by phone or text at 912-233-1100.  Stay safe, Ty.

When you are injured on the job, you need to find medical care quickly.  In a perfect world, your employer will properly direct you to a posted panel of physicians (aka list of doctors) you can review and select a doctor to seek treatment from.  However, more and more we are seeing that the panel is not posted and in fact often times there is no panel that the employee/injured worker is aware of.  The panel is in a drawer somewhere.   So much for being posted.  However, lately, we see the courts think this is ok and still allow the Employer control of medical care. 

Medical care is critical, if you are injured on the job, you need to let your supervisor/boss know and request medical care.  If you have questions you would like answered shoot us a text or give us a call at 912-233-1100. 

Stay safe.

Probably one of the more common questions we get from potential new clients.  Listen and find out the various factors that go into valuing a personal injury claim.  There are many moving parts and any attorney who can provide you value is an attorney you want to run away from.  If they will provide you value, they will say anything to have you sign a contract with them to represent you.  Be Informed, Be Aware Be Prepared. 

If you have any questions you would like to discuss, please contact us by either calling or texting us at 912-233-1100.  Stay safe, Ty.

There is a great deal of confusion about workers' compensation claims and personal injury claims.  My office often gets calls where an injured worker has been hurt at work and it was due to something everyone knew about a wobbly ladder or equipment that needs to be fixed and they typically very upset when they get hurt. 

The first thing they typically ask is can I file a lawsuit against my Employer since he knew of the dangerous condition and did nothing about it.  Well as you will find out in this episode the Georgia Legislature has created what is called the Exclusive remedy rule which requires an injured worker who is not hurt by a third party meaning was hurt by his Employer's negligence or a co-workers' negligence, must file their claim through the Georgia workers' compensation system.

While not great, news you need to know what you can and cannot do.  What questions do you have, send them to us at 912-233-1100 or text them to us.  Stay Safe, Ty

At various points in a workers' compensation claim, the Employer/Insurer may ask if you would like to settle your claim.  What does that mean and more important is that a good idea?  Well, it really depends on where your claim is as far as medical care?  Are you getting medical care, is the doctor about to return you to work? Are you receiving income benefits, if so how long are you likely to receive income benefits?  Do you need surgery?  Do you want the surgery that is being ordered?  These are just a couple of questions that may be going through your mind.  If you settle what do you give up and what to do get?  All good questions and all questions that are fact and case-specific.  If you have specific questions you would like to discuss, feel free to contact our office.  We hope you find this information helpful and come listen to our other podcasts.  Stay Safe, Ty
