Does my employer have to continue my health care coverage when I'm on pregnancy leave?

The Schlehr Law Firm

During your pregnancy, your employer must continue your healthcare coverage when you are taking twelve weeks of leave under the Federal Family and Medical Leave Act or the California Family Rights Act. During this time, you may have to pay the employee contribution just as you would if you were actively employed in the workplace. But your employer needs to continue your group health coverage and pay the employers portion of your health benefits. My name is Sarah Schlehr of the Schlehr Law Firm. I work to protect California employees from discrimination and harassment in the workplace.

Are my medical bills covered after a motorcycle accident in NY?

Proner & Proner

After a motorcycle accident in New York state, your medical bills will not be covered under your motorcycle insurance because motorcycles were excluded from the no-fault coverage under section 5102 of the Insurance Bill in 1972 and again in 1977. Motorcycles were excluded from no-fault, so your medical bills will only be covered under your personal health insurance initially, and from the party at fault ultimately at the end of the claim when it's settled either with an insurance company or in front of a jury. I'm Mitchell Proner. If you're looking for an experienced, skilled attorney to represent you or a loved one in New York, contact me today.

What happens in a car accident with an uninsured driver?

Proner & Proner

If you're involved in a car accident and the other vehicle is uninsured, by law in New York State you're required to have uninsured motorist coverage. In addition if the other vehicle had less insurance than you had,you're entitled to make a claim through what's called SUM coverage - Supplemental uninsured motorist coverage. So my advice is to purchase as much SUM coverage as you can afford, because that's the coverage that's going to protect you if the other vehicle is insured or underinsured. I'm Mitchell Proner, if you're looking for an experienced, skilled attorney to represent you or a loved one in New York, contact me today.

Are lost wages covered after a motorcycle accident in NY?

Proner & Proner

After a motorcycle accident in New York, lost wages are not covered under the motorcycle's insurance policy because motorcycles were excluded from the no fault law. Consequently, lost wages will ultimately be realized by the party at fault through their insurance carrier, but that's going to be at the end of the claim, not at the onset. So, if you have lost wages after a motorcycle accident, you can either get that money for your lost wages through either your employer's disability policy, or in the alternative, if the accident happened while you were working, you are entitled to lost wages through a workman's comp claim. I'm Mitchell Proner. If you are looking for an experienced, skilled attorney to represent you or a loved one in New York, contact me today.

What types of injuries are covered by workers' compensation?

Kantrovitz & Associates, P.C.

Worker's Compensation covers injuries or accidents that arise in the course of your employment. Many of them are very obvious. You know, I bent down and I lifted something up awkwardly, and I had an acute injury to my back or my neck. And the ones that become far more difficult and where people really don't understand their coverage are the repetitive type injuries, that - the types of injuries that happen over time, that my job requires me to lift heavy things day in and day out; and over time my body breaks down where I can't do the functions of my job. People unfortunately don't know that that is exactly what Worker's Compensation covers, that they feel it has to be some specific acute identifiable event. And that's not what the statute requires. My name is attorney Stephen (sp?) Kantrovitz of Kantrovitz & Associates. For the past 20 years we have been representing individuals in the greater Boston area in worker's Compensation, personal injury and Social Security disability claims.

What's the #1 misconception people have about dog bite injuries?

Mazow & McCullough

The number one misconception in the state of Massachusetts involving dog bite attacks is who's going to pay the claim, who's going to compensate you for your injuries and often times there is no insurance coverage available. Either the specific owner did not involve the insurance company or fill out the documents on their insurance application involving the dog or notifying the insurance company that they owned the dog; that may allow the insurance company to deny the claim. At the end of the day you may be left pursuing the owner of the dog personally to compensate you for your injuries. My name's Kevin McCullough with the law offices of Mazow and McCullough. If you've been injured you need legal assistance, you have questions you deserve answers to those questions and you deserve the best. Call our offices.
