Family members could get settlement if relative is killed in Florida

It is something that no one ever wants to imagine. The death of a loved one. But if a family member is killed in an accident in Florida, it is important to know the law.

There is no guarantee that a survivor receives money if his or her parent (or child) is killed in an accident caused by someone else.  An insurance company that is defending the at fault person or company does not have to settle a wrongful death case.  The insurance company may want to take the case to trial if they feel that they can win.  Read more

Florida injured accident victims should use caution when paying their health insurer from the settlement

 

Sometimes injured accident victims may be required to repay their health insurance company from their settlement. Don’t reimburse your health insurance company from your personal injury settlement until you are sure that you understand your health insurance contract completely. The health insurance subrogation adjuster is not on your side. You could be giving away money that you may not be obligated to pay.

Florida car owners should buy uninsured motorist insurance

Buy as much uninsured motorist insurance as you can afford. It pays for your medical bills, lost wages, pain & suffering, etc. you if another vehicle causes your accident and that vehicle is uninsured/underinsured (doesn’t have any or enough bodily injury insurance to pay for your medical bills/lost wages). Florida doesn’t require an owner of a car to have any bodily injury insurance. Every day I speak with injured accident victims who are surprised when they find out that the at fault car was uninsured and they are stuck with medical bills.

My fiance will soon become a Florida registered mental health counselor intern

I am excited that my fiance had decided to pursue her dream and become a Florida licensed mental health counselor. She has a Masters degree in school counseling which she obtained in California. She was a school/intervention counselor in California. She should complete a psychopathology course at F.I.U. in late June and shortly thereafter, get approved to be a registered mental health counselor intern (sometime in late June or early July). She can then share space with a mental health professional and begin helping new patients (for a fee) in a private practice. Although she cannot see patients in a private setting now, I have created a website for her so that I can quickly add marketing information to it  after she becomes a registered counselor intern. Until then, the website will contain general information about licensed mental health counselors and therapy.

Is Findlaw’s lawyer directory selling links in violation of Google’s guidelines?

I think an attorney that buys a listing in the FindLaw Lawyer Directory and has their listing link to the attorney’s website may cause their site to be negatively impacted in the search results. This is because Google’s guidelines do not allow a website to sell links that pass PageRank.  I do not recommend that, if an attorney pays to be listed in Findlaw’s lawyer directory, attorneys include a link to their site in the directory. Google says: Read more
