CONCORD, NH, August 18, 2012 (Press-News.org) A car accident can be physically, emotionally and financially devastating. If you were injured or a family member was killed in a car accident caused by the negligence of another driver, you're probably asking yourself questions like:
- How do I pay my medical expenses?
- How will I pay bills and other cost-of-living expenses if I can't work?
- Can I get help for the lingering physical and emotional impacts of my car accident?
- Did the driver responsible for the accident have adequate insurance?
- Who is accountable for having my car repaired or replaced?
- How do I know if an insurance company's offer is just?
An experienced car accident attorney can answer these questions for you and help you fight for the financial compensation you need for medical costs, lost wages, property damage, and pain and suffering. Working with a car accident attorney can relieve you of some of the stress that accompanies car accidents and allow you to focus on your recovery.
A good car accident attorney understands insurance company procedures and tactics that are employed to limit insurance claim payouts to car accident victims. Your car accident lawyer will devote the time to assess how your collision affected your life to ensure you receive adequate monetary compensation.
In the event that a family member suffered wrongful death in a car accident, working with a qualified attorney can be especially important for your family's financial security and peace of mind.
Attorneys who specialize in car accident injury and wrongful death cases often have extensive experience collaborating with investigators, collision reconstruction experts, doctors and other authorities necessary to establish a strong case to maximize your compensation. Working with the right car accident attorney can improve your chances for achieving fair compensation while easing some of the burden and confusion that come in the aftermath of a car accident.

Breast Augmentation is a Worldwide Phenomenon
2012-08-18
Breast augmentation is when breast implants are used to increase the size of a woman's breasts. This is sometimes called a "boob job." Breast augmentation is sometimes attributed to a patriarchal or media-centric American society, but the truth is that this procedure is a worldwide phenomenon, and that its roots go far deeper than a media-saturated 21st-century America.
Worldwide Phenomenon
The US is neither the country with the most breast augmentations (that's China) nor the country with the highest per-capita rate (that's Greece, where one procedure is ...
How Breast Implant Placement Affects Results
2012-08-18
Breast implants are placed behind your breasts to increase their size and often improve their shape as well.

The choice of one or the other breast implant placement option will affect your results.
Subglandular Placement
Subglandular placement is when the breast implant is placed directly behind the breast, on top of the pectoral muscle, so it's often called "over the muscle" placement.
Subglandular placement is good for giving more ...
Medical Malpractice Damage Caps
2012-08-18
It has been said that if there are not caps on the amount of money medical malpractice victims and their families can collect, then everybody will suffer - namely the healthcare professional and the hospital who were negligent. As a result, many states have passed medical malpractice damage caps. The goal of the caps is to lower premiums and medical malpractice insurance for the doctor under the guise that the patients will not have to pay an increased amount to their doctor. This is all tied up in something politicians have been arguing about called tort reform.

Nursing Home Abuse
2012-08-18
When your elder enters a nursing home, you and your loved one are entrusting a great deal of trust to the facility. As your loved one ages, the nursing home staff will be responsible for providing care and proper living conditions.
When nursing home staff violates this trust, the abuse can take many different forms. It may be difficult for you to recognize nursing home abuse, especially if your elder does not reach out to you for help. If you suspect nursing home abuse, you should not immediately dismiss your concerns. Even if the signs you are seeing are not covered ...
How Medical Malpractice Causes Birth Injuries
2012-08-18
Childbirth is a time where everyone marvels at a medical miracle. Unfortunately, bringing a child into the world is a complicated process where a number of things can go wrong. Although parents may worry about deliveries that involve complications, no parent wants to imagine that their child won't have a chance at a normal life due to a doctor's error.
Nevertheless, medical malpractice can (and does) occur during the birthing process. Malpractice is defined as negligence on the part of a doctor, nurse or other medical professional involved in the birth; essentially the ...
Study Suggests More Malpractice Claims Occurring with Outpatient Treatments
2012-08-18
When people think about medical malpractice claims, they commonly worry about surgical errors where tools are left inside the patient, wrong site procedures, or medical charts being lost or misinterpreted. Despite the specter of harmful mistakes within the hospital setting (i.e. inpatient procedures), a surprising number of medical malpractice claims arise from outpatient treatment.
A recent study by the Journal of the American Medical Association (JAMA) found that nearly half of the 10,739 malpractice claims paid in 2009 stemmed from outpatient treatments. Major injuries ...
The Different Definitions of "Disability"
2012-08-18
A recent case in the Seventh Circuit Court of Appeals -- Holmstrom v. Metropolitan Life Insurance Company -- could possibly change the landscape of disability claims brought under the Employee Retirement Income Security Act (ERISA).
Disputes involving insurance claims that fall under the purview of ERISA are decided by federal courts. Illnesses of the type developed by Holmstrom (hers was a painful nerve condition that caused severe pain in her right arm and hand) are often difficult for insurance adjusters to quantify since they show no outward signs of medical defect.

Pennsylvania Truck Accident Settlement May Be Largest in State History
2012-08-18
The extent of harm that drivers and passengers in other vehicles can suffer in truck accidents is due largely to the difference in mass between cars and semis. When the impact leads to catastrophic injuries or a wrongful death, the amount of damages can escalate quickly based on medical bills or a lifetime of lost income.
The Pennsylvania Record recently reported on a fatal truck accident case that settled for over $26.1 million, a figure that would make it one of the largest personal injury litigation settlements in state history. The case involved a semi owned by Great ...
California Assembly Passes Bill to Tackle Health Insurance Fraud
2012-08-18
In an effort to address the growing problem of health insurance fraud around the state, the California Assembly recently passed bill AB 2138, which will increase the amount given to agencies responsible for investigating bad faith disability claims and other types of insurance fraud. Under the measure, the amount paid by health and disability insurers to investigate fraud would increase from 10 cents per insured person to up to 20 cents per insured. The additional funding would allow district attorneys' offices around the state to investigate and prosecute insurance fraud ...
