What Every Driver Should Know About Car Batteries
Article by Car X
An automotive battery is a large rechargeable battery that powers the electrical system of the modern vehicle. Often called standard flooded batteries by people in the know, they are responsible for starting, lighting, and ignition. Unfortunately, most car owners are not in the know. They believe that car batteries do not require regular maintenance. This is not entirely their fault. Because of their incredible durability and endurance, some major automotive brands offer maintenance-free car batteries. But as any mechanic will tell you, there is no such thing as a maintenance-free car battery. Yes, they may last for four or five years even if you ignore them. However, if you take proper care of them, they will likely last twice as long! Best of all, they won’t leave you stranded. When a motorist has a car battery that cannot be jump-started, it is commonly referred to as “dead.” These dead batteries are often the result of neglect. When drivers check the battery posts, cells, cables, and the alternator each year for signs of wear, it is far less likely that their batteries will go dead. More importantly, it is far less likely that they will have to pay a few hundred dollars to have their vehicles towed to the nearest garage. The good news is that mechanics can check your car battery very quickly. Advanced equipment lets them test the charging system of nearly any vehicle in a matter of minutes. The service charge for these annual checkups is often quite affordable. And if the battery must be replaced, Car-X Auto Service will more than likely have the new battery on hand.
We do not recommend that you change your car battery on your own. Yes, you might be able to save yourself a couple of bucks, but it is not nearly as easy as you might think. It’s not like changing the batteries of the remote control. Car batteries are big and heavy and they must be screwed, snapped, and plugged into place. Not to mention the fact that all batteries must be properly disposed of. They have sulfuric acid in them, so you cannot simply put them out with yesterday’s trash. It is best to let a trained mechanic do the job for you. They can replace the battery while you wait and they will properly dispose of the old one as well. More often than not, you will be back on the road in under an hour with a reasonable bill and a brand-new battery.

Did You Know that Motorcycle Laws Vary from State to State?
Article by Jonathon Blocker
What can be more frightening that being involved in a motorcycle accident? There are so many different things to worry about it can be dizzying. There is dealing with any injuries suffered and property damaged. If you were recently in a motorcycle accident, it is in your best interest to consult an accident attorney who specializes in motorcycle law.
How much help you need will undoubtedly vary from state to state. Half the states are no-fault states. This means, if you have the proper motorcycle insurance, your insurance company will cover your medical bills and other damages related to the accident regardless of fault. The rest of the states require you to prove who was at fault if you want to collect damages from the negligent party or their insurance company. In some states, the negligent party pays a percentage of damages depending on how much they were at fault.
It can get rather confusing in some states, especially Colorado. Many people from Colorado hire motorcycle accident injuries in Colorado. It is important to have an attorney who is experienced in dealing with cases of this nature and possesses the skills to either litigate the issue of fault, or to negotiate a motorcycle accident settlement in Colorado for you.
Beyond the damages done to your property or injuries sustained, the level of fault is probably the most important factor in determining how much motorcycle injury lawyer in Colorado can recover from your claim. In many instances, both you and the insurance company know through the circumstances surrounding the accident the level of fault in regards to both parties involved. A motorcycle accident law firm in Colorado will ask questions such as was the other party completely at fault; mostly at fault; or only slightly at fault?
If you are in a comparative fault situation, your motorcycle accident settlement in Colorado will be reduced by your percentage of fault. If you were only 5% at fault, your damages award will be reduced by 5%. Your financial recovery is not reduced by any amount if the motorcycle accident was clearly the fault of another party. This is a very important aspect in determining motorcycle accident claims in Colorado.
Each state has their own laws which apply specifically to motorcycles and accidents involving motorcycles. They can often vary greatly from state to state, as well, such as licensing requirements, the application of auto insurance to motorcycles, the requirement of motorcycle riders and passengers to wear helmets, and the way motorcycles can utilize traffic lanes. If you live in the state of Colorado it is important you speak with a motorcycle accident law firm in Colorado who is familiar with the law and how it might apply to your case.

How Do You Know Which Motorcycle Alarm System is Appropriate For Your bike?
Article by David Phantom
By way of all the competing modern advances or so called modern advances its hard to settle on which is best for your motorcycle protection. Motorcycle thieves now do not have to to start your bike to take it they have been picking them up and putting them in the backs of trucks rendering your motorcycle alarm system useless.
Now that you’ve seen basic motorcycle security systems you must see the new dog on the block! There is a newly patented motorcycle alarm system http://phantomtracking.com/product.aspx that includes something no other system does and thats motorcycle crash protection http://phantomtracking.com/crash-detection-technology.aspx using true GPS Satellite Technoolgies and its powerful!
The Lo-Jack motorcycle security system was introduced in 1984 and is centered on Loran-C Technology. To operate it requires that a law enforcement vehicle is equipped with a unique radio receiver to track the signal emitted by the Lo-Jack product. Lo-Jack works by emitting and FM based homing signal. A homing receiver shows the target only of the homing signal; it can’t determine the exact position. For instance the receiver is not able to tell if the homing device is 10 ft or a mile away.
Lo-Jack is also restricted to a a small number of counties in around 26 markets nationally. Lo-Jack is also restricted to whichever town in those areas that have their devices operational on the police vehicles.
Cycle Protect Cycle Protect is perhaps a a lot stronger motorcycle alarm system. It is a wireless data, GPS device. Physically the Cycle Protect is a little bigger than the Phantom Tracker System and requires outside antennas which can undoubtedly be found on the motorcycle. The location of the antennas makes them vulnerable to tampering and disabling by a thief.In the course of an alarm occurrence the Cycle Protect tool text messages a pre-designated cellular phone number. Next the owner must get to a computer with an internet connection, open the Cycle Protect site, enter passwords and then will be shown the position of the motorcycle. The owner then has to call the local police and ask them for help in finding the motorcycle. There is no call center to alert the owner and police of a theft even; nor is accident detection on hand for this product.
Scorpio Motorcycle Alarm The Scorpio products offering is a two-way FM motorcycle security system utilizing a miniature handheld receiver. It operates by the owner arming the motorcycle and after that if the motorcycle is moved the Scorpio alarm on the motorcycle transmits a radio signal to the transceiver which vibrates emitting a beeping blast. While Scorpio claims ranges up to 1 mile this is based on a clear line of sight. Trees, buildings, vehicles, elevation changes and other obstacles diminish useful range of the apparatus.There is no recovery element with this system; once the motorcycle is stolen the effective use of the device is done.
Traditional Wheel Locks, Fork Locks, and Chain Locks These products have been around as long as motorcycles have been around. They do offer some defense by immobilizing the motorcycle but they have confines to their effectiveness. Wheel locks that commonly connect to the front rotor of the motorcycle have received a lot of interest lately, nonetheless seeing as a significant number of motorcycles are taken by picking them up and putting them into a truck, wheel locks are useless in these cases. The same goes for fork locks which lock the front forks of the motorcycle into a turned position, picking up the motorcycle would render this ineffective as well.
Chain locks operate well in these conditions if the motorcycle is chained to a stationary object but stationary items are not always accessible in all areas.

Everything You Need to Know About Motorcycle Accident Cases
Article by Jason G Epstein
As a motorcycle accident lawyer, I have seen the devastating injuries that can be caused when a car hits a motorcyclist. Not only have I dealt with clients that have been injured in motorcycle accidents, I have been injured in a motorcycle accident myself. Having experienced the injuries and fear that come along with a high speed motorcycle accident, I understand the damages that are involved, and how important it is to find an attorney that makes you feel at ease. Injuries in motorcycle cases are usually pretty severe, but juries oftentimes have biases against motorcycle riders. Despite the fact that 80% of motorcycle accidents are caused by cars, this is a bias that we have to overcome when getting you the money that you deserve, which is exactly why you need an experienced motorcycle injury attorney.
There has been an increase in 74% in motorcycle registration over the last decade, and along with it, an increase in motorcycle accident fatalities. There were over 2,300 motorcycle accidents in Washington State last year, and 66 of them resulted in the death of someone on the motorcycle. Surprisingly, the majority of these accidents happen in good weather conditions. Around 80% of all motorcycle accidents happened during the nicer months between April and September – likely because more people ride their bikes in good weather rather than bad. As I witnessed firsthand during my motorcycle accident, there is sometimes nothing one can do to avoid being hit by a negligent car driver. There are, however, some steps you can take to lower the risk of riding a motorcycle. You’ve heard it a million times before if you ride a motorcycle, but wearing a helmet does significantly reduce the risk of death and serious head injury in case of an accident. It is certainly not full-proof, but everyone who rides a motorcycle should wear one. Along with wearing a helmet, it is essential to ride at safe speeds. Car drivers are not always on the lookout for motorcycles, so if you are whizzing by them at unsafe speeds, there is an increased chance of them turning right into you. It is also very important to prepare yourself for the danger of the road by attending motorcycle training classes. Going above and beyond the normal requirement for getting your license can go a long way to making you a safer driver.
Unfortunately, even if you are a very safe motorcyclist, there is still a chance that you may be hit by a negligent driver. If this happens and you sustain an injury as a result of the accident, you should seek out the services of an experienced motorcycle accident lawyer. Motorcycle accident cases are different than normal auto accident cases, so when you search for an attorney, make sure they are not only experienced in fighting insurance companies on the behalf of injured victims, but also understand the nuances of motorcycle accidents. It is also essential that your attorney is not afraid to take a case to court. Insurance companies know that winning these types of cases in court is made more difficult by jury biases, so their strategy is usually to get people to settle for a very little amount of money. The attorney in motorcycle accident cases needs to make it clear to the insurance company that they are not afraid to take it all the way to court. Accepting low settlements is unacceptable, so make sure you choose an attorney who is willing to put a lot of time and effort into your case.
If you have been in a motorcycle accident, the only way to know how much your case is worth is to speak with an experienced personal injury lawyer. Each case is unique, but luckily most injury lawyers, including myself, offer free initial consultations to give you the advice you need to properly pursue your motorcycle injury case.

FIVE THINGS TO KNOW AFTER A MICHIGAN TRUCK ACCIDENT
Posted: Oct 26, 2009 |Comments: 0

]]>
Many Michigan drivers assume the state laws and compensation for injuries, wage loss, etc., are the same whether you are involved in an accident with a car or commercial truck. Yet there are distinct differences between the two and understanding them is key to protecting yourself if you have been in a truck crash. Unique issues such as different insurance policies, the independent status of truck drivers and the location of trucking companies can all drastically impact an insurance claim and a truck accident case.
Immediately following a commercial truck accident, there are several important steps that Michigan truck accident attorneys recommend. The most time-sensitive tips on dealing with insurance, medical issues and claims in Michigan have been summarized below:
1. Even if it’s a minor accident, contact local police, seek medical attention if needed and document the Michigan truck accident.
At the scene of a Michigan truck accident, the victim should contact the nearest police department and immediately seek medical attention for all injuries. Be sure to report and document any minor pain that may seem less important at the time compared to more serious injuries. Significant injuries are often masked early on, making it difficult to link them to the truck accident if they are not documented.
In Michigan, it’s crucial to obtain contact information for any passengers and witnesses involved in the truck accident. This information will be extremely important if it becomes necessary to hire a Michigan truck accident lawyer, because all too often, the truck driver who caused the accident will change his story along the way. Furthermore, if witness information is not preserved at the scene, or if it’s missing from the police investigation, it becomes much more difficult for an attorney to prove negligence.
2. Notify your auto insurance company immediately.
After the truck accident, auto insurance companies must be notified. In Michigan, there’s a strict, one-year time limit to notify your own insurance company of a truck accident, and to file an application to receive compensation for your medical bills and other benefits.
Filing an application for benefits form with your insurance company is essential for protecting your no-fault rights in Michigan, even if your injuries from a truck accident do not seem severe. The form is required to receive five important benefits: medical expenses related to the auto accident, wage loss for the first three years following the accident, household replacement services (chores/help with children), payment for mileage to and from medical appointments and attendant care (nursing services). Use the form available through your auto insurance company. Please be as accurate and complete as possible, and include all of your injuries and impairments.
If a truck accident victim fails to adhere to this one-year deadline on time, he/she can lose this important coverage. There is also a three-year time limit to file a lawsuit against the negligent driver’s truck insurance company. In addition to the above deadlines, many Michigan auto insurance policies pose even more strict notification requirements, such as 30 days notice for hit-and-run truck crashes.
3. Retain an experienced Michigan truck accident lawyer quickly.
Trucking companies are required by federal and state law to keep records of safety inspections and drivers’ hours. Because bad equipment and driver fatigue cause many truck accidents, these records could prove liability against the trucking company. But after a certain period of time, trucking companies by law can dispose of pre-trip inspection documents and log books. That’s one important way that a truck crash is very different from a car crash. It is imperative that an experienced Michigan truck accident lawyer be retained as soon as possible before important records are intentionally (and legally) destroyed.
4. Check your Michigan auto insurance policy for uncoordinated benefits.
It’s important to quickly review your Michigan auto insurance policy and any additional contractual coverage you might have. There can be some common pitfalls and loopholes posed by some typical auto insurance policies. For example, some people have lost thousands of dollars because they did not understand the interplay between health insurance plans, managed care plans and retirement plans. Most policies are coordinated, meaning that if you have existing health insurance in the event of a truck accident, your health insurance pays first and your auto insurance pays the remaining balance. With uncoordinated coverage, truck accident victims may be entitled to receive a “double dip recovery” under the policy.
5. Never sign a release or give statement to a Michigan insurance claims adjuster.
Since it’s common for trucking companies to send defense attorneys, investigators and insurance adjusters immediately to the accident scene to lessen the company’s liability, do not speak with them or sign anything. Otherwise, you could unknowingly relinquish your rights or put your truck accident case in jeopardy. Never give statements to any Michigan truck accident claims adjuster and never sign a release or allow the adjuster to look at the auto damage – without speaking to your truck accident attorney first. Simply tell the adjuster that you need to review the paperwork with your attorney and will get back to them with your response.
Too many people rush into signing adjusters’ documents without having the language reviewed by a Michigan truck accident lawyer. Therefore, they may lose their right to sue the negligent truck driver and the trucking company for accident-related injuries. Claims adjusters often try to get recorded statements early, aiming to minimize the accident victim’s pain and injuries for later use in court. Even limited property damage releases can contain unrelated language releasing all personal injuries suffered from a car accident.
Michigan auto and truck accident liability is different from all other states. Damages recoverable from a Michigan truck injury accident will include claims through the victim’s own auto insurance company. If the truck driver was determined to be at fault, claims against the negligent driver’s insurance involves pain and suffering damages and excess economic damages beyond Michigan’s No Fault maximums. All auto insurance policies sold in Michigan include some limited coverage for vehicle damage (mini-tort) and property damage.
Additional information, tips and important advice about successfully handling truck accident cases can be found throughout the Michigan Truck Accident Legal Resource Center. Every truck accident case in Michigan is unique and most often, very challenging. There is never a down side to contacting a Michigan truck accident attorney for a free review of your circumstances.

Who is going to pay your bills? What about your job, the kids, the house, the car? So many things to think about, so much room for potential stress and when you are stress the body takes more time to recover because your central programming system (your brain) is under pressure.

Personal Injury Attorney Tips – Choose an Ideal Attorney to Represent Your Personal Injury Case
Accidents occur definitely without warning, hence the term accident. If you knew it was going to happen, you would either be psychic or you are up to no good. Regardless, an accident catches us off guard and sometimes can cost us a lot of time, money and strength (physical or emotional). The situation is even worse when someone else caused the accident and we end up paying the price.

Dump Truck Design 101: What Do I Need to Know to Buy a Dump Truck?

Article Source: http://www.articlesbase.com/ – Dump Truck Design 101: What Do I Need to Know to Buy a Dump Truck?
A dump truck can be defined as a vehicle used for the transportation of different types of loose materials such as sand, gravel, dirt, etc. The dump truck is typically equipped with a hydraulically operated dump bed with a hinged back. If you are locally or on the internet looking for a dump trucks sale, you might be surprised by the sheer number of types, configurations, and sizes that are available for purchase. So before heading out to buy a dump truck, it is important to determine what design will best suit your work requirements.
When choosing a dump truck for your business, it is important to know that these trucks come in various designs depending on its particular application. You need to take into consideration if the design is suitable for your work requirements. Dump trucks are categorized based on bed types and style of dumping as well as the number of axles, the terrain for which it is better suited, the design of the body frame, and most importantly its capacity.
In this article, for those of you looking for dump trucks sale in order to purchase a dump truck, let’s look at some of the different types of dump truck designs to determine which type is suitable for your business.
Standard Dump Truck
The standard dump truck design is a truck frame mounted with an open box bed that can be raised via a hydraulic pump located between the cab and the dump body; the tailgate on the end is typically hinged. The standard dump truck is single bodied with one front axle and one or more rear axles, either powered or unpowered. The short wheelbase of the standard dump truck makes the truck more maneuverable than other dump truck types with higher capacity. It is ideally suited for road driving with a good variable capacity.
Transfer Dump Truck
A transfer dump truck is basically a standard dump truck that pulls a separate trailer which can also be loaded. When the main dump box is empty, the secondary trailer will roll onto the empty main dump box to dump its load, thereby maximizing payload capacity without sacrificing maneuverability.
Superdump Truck
To solve the payload restriction in some states, the superdump truck is equipped with a trailing axle. The trailing axle is retractable and is used only when the payload is over the maximum payload limit. The trailing axle is designed to carry the extra weight of the payload, distributing the weight to a much wider ground area in order to meet the load limit.
Semi Trailer End Dump Truck
The semi end dump is a tractor-trailer combination where the trailer has the hydraulic hoist. It is advantageous because of its large capacity as well as its ability to rapidly unload. The disadvantage is that it can be unstable when the dumping location is uneven as well as difficult to back up.
Semi Trailer Bottom Dump Truck
The semi trailer bottom dump truck is similar to the end dump truck in basic design. The trailer differs by having a clam-shell-type dump gate in the belly of the trailer. This gives this dump truck the ability to lay down material in a linear row. In addition, this version is maneuverable in reverse. The disadvantage is that it is limited as to the type of spreading activity that it can perform.
Semi Trailer Side Dump Truck
This dump truck is also a tractor-trailer design with the trailer equipped to allow the dump body to tilt onto its side and spill the material being carried to either the right or left side. It is much more immune to tipping over when dumping unlike the semi end dump which is very prone to tipping over. The side dump can tip over if the dumping is stopped prematurely.
Articulated Dump Truck (ADT)
Standard dump trucks and trailer dump trucks with their rigid frames joining the cab and the dump body into basically one unit are great for most paved road driving applications. On uneven and rough terrain conditions, the weight of the payload can cause undue strain and fatigue on the frame. Such work conditions are better handled by an articulated dump truck. An ADT has a hinge between the cab and the dump box yet, unlike the semi trailer truck designs, the cab is a permanent fixture and not a separate vehicle.
As you can see, the design of the various types of dump trucks greatly affects the truck’s ability to function in different hauling and dumping situations. Being familiar with the different designs is imperative if looking for a dump trucks sale to purchase a dump truck, especially in an unstable economy. Study the different types, do your homework, and select the best dump truck for your business!

(ArticlesBase SC #2742803)
Article Source: http://www.articlesbase.com/ – What You Need To Know If You Or A Loved One Was Involved In An Illinois Trucking Accident Or Auto Accident
I. ILLINOIS TRUCKING ACCIDENT Motor vehicle accidents caused by large trucks (over 10,000 pounds) and buses involved in interstate or intrastate commerce are not your typical personal injury case. Large trucks and buses are bigger and heavier, and are known to cause catastrophic personal injuries and/or fatalities. Both Illinois and federal law heavily regulate the industry. Often drivers and/or trucking/bus companies violate Illinois and federal regulations causing collisions. If you or a loved one were injured in a collision caused by a large truck or bus you will need an experienced Chicago trucking accident lawyer or Chicago trucking accident attorney to represent your interests against an industry that is well prepared. You and/or your loved one will need an experienced Chicago trucking accident attorney or Chicago trucking accident lawyer experienced in the governing Illinois and federal law to immediately start gathering evidence to prove the negligence of the driver and the busing/trucking company. Due to the known probability of death or catastrophic personal injury in large truck or bus accidents, most trucking/bus companies carry better insurance. Since the insurance company has a greater exposure for damages resulting from injuries or fatalities from bus or large truck accidents, they have aggressive Chicago trucking accident attorneys or Chicago trucking accident lawyers on call to immediately start limiting the liability of the trucking/bus company and/or the value of the claim. The insurance company’s Chicago trucking accident attorney or Chicago trucking accident lawyer will attempt to take your statement or the statement of your loved one and try to commit you or your loved one to their version of the facts. The insurance company’s Chicago trucking accident attorney or Chicago trucking lawyer will immediately attempt to take the statements of any witnesses to the collision to try and commit them to their version of the facts. You will need the assistance of a competent Chicago truck accident attorney or Chicago truck accident lawyer even more since the insurance company has aggressive Chicago trucking accident attorneys or Chicago trucking accident lawyers immediately involved within hours after the accident working to eliminate the liability of the driver and the bus or trucking company and/or significantly reduce the value of you or your loved one’s claim. A competent Chicago truck accident lawyer or Chicago truck accident attorney will immediately file a lawsuit against the driver and the bus/trucking company to prevent the trucking/bus company and/or insurance company from legally disposing of evidence necessary to prove their negligence in causing the collision. You and your loved one are at a distinct disadvantage because most of the evidence necessary to build a good claim against the driver of the trucking/bus companies are in their possession and control. Most large trucks and buses engaged in interstate and/or intrastate commerce have a “black box” similar to airplanes called an electronic control module. This black box records important evidence such as engine speed, brake application, throttle position, hard stops, and vehicle speed immediately before, at the time of, or immediately following a collision. If you or your loved one do not timely hire a competent Chicago truck accident attorney or Chicago truck accident lawyer to protect your interests, evidence in the “black box” will be lost because the data storage is limited. When the truck or bus is operated following the accident, new data is written over old data in a continuous loop. Truck drivers are required by law to keep logs. However, the driver and the trucking company are only required to keep these logs for 6 months. You need a competent Chicago truck accident attorney or Chicago truck accident lawyer to file suit as soon as possible to prevent the driver and trucking company from legally destroying the logs. These logs can be used to prove negligence in causing the collision. Additionally, in conjunction with other evidence your Chicago truck accident attorney or Chicago truck accident lawyer may be able to prove that the driver, with the blessing of the trucking company, falsified the logs. Your Chicago truck accident attorney or Chicago truck accident lawyer may even be able to use this evidence to establish that the trucking company acted willfully and wantonly in causing the collision justifying punitive damages. The insurance company’s Chicago truck accident attorney or Chicago truck accident lawyer may try to get you or your loved one to settle the claim immediately after the accident. You should know that insurance company’s Chicago truck accident attorney or Chicago truck accident lawyer are skilled at saving the insurance company as much money as possible by settling claims for much less than they are worth. The insurance company’s Chicago trucking accident attorney or Chicago trucking accident lawyer know every excuse for paying less than full value. If you sign the release drafted by the insurance company’s Chicago trucking accident attorney or Chicago trucking accident lawyer and it turns out that the amount you or your loved one settled for is not enough to compensate for all the damages sustained, you will not be able to file any lawsuit against the responsible parties and the insurance company to make up the short fall. You or your loved one should never settle a claim without having it reviewed by your own competent Chicago trucking accident attorney or Chicago trucking accident lawyer to be sure that you are getting full and fair compensation. There is a high probability that the insurance company’s Chicago truck accident attorney or Chicago truck accident lawyer will attempt to obtain video surveillance of you or your loved one following the collision to try and reduce the value of your claim. The insurance company’s Chicago truck accident attorney or Chicago truck accident attorney will also perform an ISO search (vast pool of past insurance claims compiled by participating insurance companies) on you or your loved to significantly reduce the value of your claim. Hopefully you now have some idea about what you and your loved one are up against in a collision involving a large truck or bus. It is very important that you immediately hire a competent Chicago truck accident attorney or Chicago truck accident lawyer to investigate the accident, preserve the evidence to prove the negligence of the driver and bus/trucking company, and obtain full and fair compensation. II. ILLINOIS AUTO ACCIDENTS If you or your loved one have been involved in an auto accident you should consult with a Chicago personal injury lawyer as soon as possible to represent your interests against the responsible parties and all insurance companies. However there are several things that you should know to prevent both the insurance companies and certain medical providers from taking advantage of your loss: 1. You are responsible for all medical expenses you incur for treatment of your injuries caused in an auto accident even if it is somebody else’s fault. The person that caused the auto accident and their insurance company are not obligated to pay for your medical expenses unless you obtain a judgment against that party in a court of law. Since your medical providers want to be paid you should provide them with your health insurance information and/or the necessary information for Medicare if applicable. Your health insurance company and/or Medicare will be paid for those medical expenses paid when you claim settles or goes to judgment. 2. Be careful of some hospital administrators because they will try to take advantage of the fact that you or your loved one was injured in an auto accident. There are greedy administrators may not want to file a claim with your health insurance company or Medicare because they will get dimes on the dollar under their contract with your health insurance provider or Medicare. It is best that you or your loved one demand they file claims with the health insurer or Medicare or else you or your loved one could be responsible for the full medical bill that would otherwise have been covered by health insurance or Medicare. This is especially important since it liability of the person that caused the accident may not be clear. 3. Do not provide your medical providers with the name of your own auto insurance company because they may try to take advantage of you by taking all of your medical pay benefits under your own auto insurance policy. You may have medical pay benefits under your own auto insurance policy that can be used to pay any set-offs or medical expenses not covered by your health insurance. Some greedy healthcare administrators will try to get the limits of your medical pay benefits before submitting the medical expenses to your health insurance company so they can get more than money than they agreed to accept under the contract with your health insurance carrier. 4. Do not give any statements to the insurance company. The insurance company has Chicago auto accident attorneys or Chicago auto accident lawyers who will try to get you or your loved one to answer questions you don’t understand or admit to something you do not fully understand to eliminate the liability of the person that caused the accident or significantly reduce the value of your claim. 5. Have a friend or family member take pictures as soon as possible of the damage done to the vehicles. Without photographs showing the severity of the damage done to the vehicles, the insurance company will have its Chicago auto accident attorneys or Chicago auto accident lawyers claim there was a minimal impact between the vehicle and you or your loved one could not have been injured to the extent claimed. 6. Have a friend or family member take photographs of you or your loved one’s injuries as soon as possible after the accident and throughout the course of rehabilitation. It is significantly harder for the insurance company’s Chicago auto accident attorney or Chicago auto accident lawyer to contest photographic evidence of your injuries. 7. Get the names, addresses, and phone numbers of any witnesses to the accident. If you are too injured and if it’s is possible have a loved one, friend, or other witness get you the names, addresses, and phone numbers of the all witnesses to the accident. Sometimes the investigating police officer is busy and does not get the names, addresses, and phone numbers of all the witnesses. 8. You should go to traffic court if the person that caused the accident got a ticket. If the person that caused the accident sees you in traffic court they may plead guilty to the traffic ticket. A guilty plea to the traffic ticket could be used against the person that caused the accident. However, if the person that caused your accident pleads not guilty and is found guilty it cannot be used against them in a later civil suit. 9. Do not sign any releases allowing the insurance company or their Chicago auto accident attorney or Chicago auto accident lawyer to get copies of your medical records. 10. Do not settle your personal injury claim without having it reviewed by a Chicago personal injury lawyer, Chicago auto accident attorney, or Chicago auto accident attorney. The insurance company and its Chicago auto accident attorney or Chicago auto accident lawyer are in business to make profits by saving the insurance company as much money as possible by settling claims for less than they are worth. If you sign a release drafted by the insurance company’s Chicago auto accident attorney or Chicago auto accident lawyer settling your claim and you later discover that the settlement is not enough to cover al your damages you are forever barred from coming back and seeking the difference. It is in your best interest to meet with an experienced Chicago personal injury Lawyer as soon as possible following any auto accident so that steps can be taken to immediately investigate your claim and protect your interests.
