The Benefits Of Hiring A Personal Injury Lawyer After A Car Accident

“Hiring a personal auto accident lawyer can help you obtain a better settlement from the insurance company”, said Russell Rabichev, Marketing Director of Internet Marketing Company.

LOS ANGELES (PRWEB)
November 05, 2020

Policyholders who got injured in a car accident should consider hiring a personal injury claim attorney. This specialized attorney will help the policyholder to recover its money spent on repairing the damaged vehicle and on medical expenses.

The main reasons for hiring an attorney are the following:

Personal injury lawyers are aware of the usual claim’s worth. Policyholders that are trying to evaluate how much monetary compensation they deserve will find out that this is a challenging task to be done on your own. A personal injury claim attorney has many years of experience in dealing with injury settlement cases. Also, many lawyers have access to various private databases that contain the final settlements reached for different types of insurance claims.

The attorney understands the legal process. Auto accident lawyers are very knowledgeable about national and state transportation laws and have the ability to efficiently prepare and settle a case and have the know-how to handle greedy health care and insurance companies. The attorneys know what legal documents and forms need to be completed and will ensure that their customers make no mistake.

Higher chances of obtaining a better settlement. The insurance providers know that the persons that are not represented by an attorney are not familiar with the claim process and they will try to obtain the lowest settlement possible.

The lawyer can represent the policyholder in case of a trial. In case of a trial, there is the chance for the jury to vote in the policyholder’s favor and award him a higher settlement. Hiring a specialized lawyer can significantly increase that chance.

What Are The Top Car Insurance Policies That Drivers Should Buy

“Car insurance companies are offering different kinds of coverage that can help drivers in different scenarios.”, said Russell Rabichev, Marketing Director of Internet Marketing Company.

LOS ANGELES (PRWEB)
November 04, 2020

Car insurance is a necessity for drivers who own a vehicle and want to legally drive in the US. A car insurance plan can include several different kinds of coverage. There are many types of coverage that can protect drivers in different situations.

The most important types of coverage are the following:

Additional liability car insurance. In almost every state, liability insurance is mandatory. This policy is used to protect the other drivers on the road from the damage caused by an at-fault driver. Liability coverage has 2 parts: bodily injury liability and property damage liability. Bodily injury liability will pay for the medical expenses, pain, and suffering caused by an at-fault policyholder. Property damage liability provides coverage for the damage caused by a policyholder to other people’s property. Drivers should avoid buying the minimum liability insurance. Drivers should carry high enough liability coverage to protect their assets in case of an accident.

Collision insurance. This coverage will reimburse the policyholder for any damage sustained by their vehicles in a collision with a vehicle, tree, mailbox, lamp, or something else. Even if the policyholder is at-fault in the incident that damaged the vehicle, he/she will be reimbursed. Collision coverage is not required by state law, but drivers who own new and valuable cars should consider buying it.

Comprehensive auto insurance. Comprehensive coverage will be used to cover the cost to repair a vehicle that got damaged in incidents that are not related to a collision. There are many different scenarios where a vehicle can get damaged, or even destroyed. Events such as vandalism, riots, fires, floods, tornadoes, hailstones, storms, or falling objects can seriously damage a vehicle and in some cases, the vehicle is declared as a total loss. Comprehensive coverage will also pay if a car is stolen.

Personal injury protection. PIP insurance is required by law in some states. This coverage covers the medical costs of the policyholders and their passengers, regardless of who as at-fault in a car accident. Besides medical expenses, PIP insurance can cover lost wages, funeral expenses, in-home services, and child-care expenses.

Mississippi State Medical Association launches MHAX: Mississippi Health Access Exchange

JACKSON, Miss. (PRWEB)
November 04, 2020

The Mississippi State Medical Association (MSMA) has joined the KONZA Nationwide Network and established The Mississippi Health Access Exchange (MHAX), a physician-led statewide electronic Health Information Exchange.

“MSMA is excited to facilitate this physician-led effort with an HIE advisory council comprised of physician leaders,” said Dr. Claude Brunson, MSMA Executive Director. “This physician-led approach will aid in alleviating unnecessary burdens on both physicians and patients, through the sharing of clinical information at the point-of-care. We are confident that MHAX will drastically improve the sharing of clinical data and drive improvements in patient care, while supporting the independence of our member physicians in the newly emerging health care environment.”

Through this new HIE, clinicians in Mississippi will be able to share critical patient information at the point of care, supporting improved care quality and better patient health outcomes. Physicians and other clinicians can view patient data from participating providers securely and quickly and will no longer be dependent upon antiquated faxing.

Since KONZA connects hospitals, physician practices, and healthcare providers nationwide, participant clinicians and hospitals in Mississippi that participate in MHAX will have immediate access to patient data from large Mississippi health systems including The Franciscan Missionaries of Our Lady Health System, University of Mississippi Medical Center, Singing River Health System and Baptist Memorial Health Care, as well as patient data from other states in the KONZA network including neighboring Louisiana. Furthermore, participants can utilize KONZA’s analytics tools and services to aggregate near real time clinical data on their patients. Providers will be able to stratify high risk patients, identify 30- day readmission patterns, support opioid initiatives, send and receive alerts and better track quality measure performance. Lastly, MHAX provides a free personal health record to all Mississippi patients so they can access their own medical records.

“As one of the largest medical record exchange networks in the nation, KONZA is pleased to welcome the Mississippi Health Access eXchange (MHAX) to the KONZA Network. It is an honor to partner with Mississippi health care providers and the Mississippi State Medical Association. We look forward to supporting their mission of maintaining quality patient care in Mississippi,” said Laura McCrary, Ed.D, President and CEO of KONZA.
