Many individuals do not know the answer to this question. Medical payments coverage, often referred to as med-pay, reimburses vehicle occupants for medical bills relating to injuries sustained in an accident, regardless of fault. It usually comes with coverage limits in such amounts as $1,000, $5,000 or $10,000.   Med-pay will reimburse for reasonable and necessary medical expenses up to the coverage limit for each person in the vehicle. For example, if there is applicable med-pay coverage and you and a passenger are involved in an accident and incur medical bills, you may each submit those bills for reimbursement under the med-pay provision.   This is extremely helpful to those with no health insurance, or carry health insurance with a high deductibles.

In Washington State a truck driver fell asleep, crossed the center line of a highway and collided with a car and a school bus.   The 22 year old driver of the car died from his injuries.   43 students riding in the school bus were taken to the hospital, treated and released.     One year ago, the same truck driver was cited for crossing the center line causing a collision with injuries in this same area.

If you or a loved one has suffered injuries from an accident involving a truck, it can become more complicated than a regular automobile collision.   The truck driver who was involved in the crash most likely does not own the truck he is driving, which means the truck is owned by a separate company who must be brought into the case as well. Call the attorneys at Ledbetter & Titsworth to help. (919) 460-9798 or click www.mynclawyer.com for more information.

North Carolina Bicycling Safety and Law

As the weather changes prime cycling season is upon us. North Carolina, like most states, considers a bicycle a vehicle, and cyclists as drivers of vehicles. The traffic laws and regulations that apply to cycling in North Carolina are important to bear in mind to ensure a safe and legal trip.

BICYCLES ON THE ROAD

Bicycles are permitted on all public roads except interstates. To ensure the safety of cyclists and motorists alike, only motor vehicles, those which are self-propelled, are permitted on interstates. A cyclist is to obey all traffic signals and signage, including stop and yield signs. Failure to observe these signs may result in a citation, just as one can receive in a motor vehicle.

Pokemon Go was released this summer and was an immediate hit. Created by Niantic, the augmented reality game allows players to “catch ‘em all” on their cellular or tablet. When players open the application (app) on their device and begin traveling, Pokemon appear on the map of their device, which players then search for and capture. While there is a warning at the opening of the Pokemon Go app cautioning players to remain alert to the conditions around them as they play, injuries have still been reported where players did not heed this warning and have been injured or caused injury to others.

COMMON INJURIES RELATED TO POKEMON GO 

Slip and Fall injuries are the most common among the injuries sustained while playing Pokemon Go. Players who have been more focused on cellular or tablet screens than their immediate surroundings have fallen in roads, into ditches, and other slip and fall type scenarios. Others have been injured falling from bicycles or skateboards. Bruises, scrapes, and cuts are the most common injuries of the game thus far. A few isolated reports have been made of auto accidents involving players driving while playing Pokemon Go. Although Pokemon Go will not operate at speeds in excess of 20 MPH, a motorcycle, truck, or car accident at this speed is still sufficient to cause severe and even life-threatening injury.
