Eden, GA Personal Injury Law Firms & Lawyers

Your wife is responsible for the costs of her care. But you need to have someone identify all possible sources of coverage. It looks to me like when you say the other side had only 15k of coverage, that's their PIP coverage. That is a limited type of coverage for medical care. Under Oregon law they have to have at least $25,000 of liability coverage. So I sounds like the other side may be denying liability. You may also have underinsured coverage through your own policy, and of course health care coverage if you have that. You can speak to one of our lawyers for free.

Generally speaking, workplace injuries do not result in lawsuits, because they are handled within the framework established by worker's compensation statutes. Occasionally, however, there is a third-party (not the employer) that can be sued for negligence at the workplace. In that case, your question below would be appropriate. The answer depends where the accident occurred. In Oregon, the defendant would have to be over 50% liable to pay anything. In Washington, the plaintiff would indeed recover 1%.

Instead of writing long letters get yourself a worker comp lawyer and let him review your case. part of the problem is you kept on trucking when you should have had care. the insurance c o will likely have a response to your statement that they made no effort to reach you. But get a lawyers help. You are not equipped to do this yourself.
