4th QUARTER 2002 NEWS

2002 CHILD RESTRAINT/SEATBELT LAW UPDATE

Beginning January 1, 2002, the existing version of Vehicle Code Section 27360 (Child Passenger Restraints: Requirements) was repealed. The previous requirement of 4 years old and 40 pounds has been updated. Under the new law, any child who is under 6 years of age and weighs under 60 pounds is required to be secured in a child passenger restraint system. If the child is at least 6 years of age and weighs 60 or more pounds, that child is not required to be secured in a child passenger restraint system. It is still recommended that children under 12 years of age remain in the backseat. The new law was expanded to include children who have outgrown traditional child safety seats, yet are still not big enough to properly fit in a shoulder/lap seat belt. These "in between" children are now required to be secured in either a traditional child safety seat or a booster seat, which essentially raises the child up to better accommodate a shoulder/lap seat belt.

DAIMLER-CHRYSLER SEATBELT BUCKLE DEFECTIVE

The Gen 3 seatbelt buckle, installed in approximately 14 million Daimler-Chrysler vehicles since 1993 is reported defective. A lawsuit filed in 2000 alleges that the buckle unlatches during accidents and fails to secure infant car seats properly. The suit asks for compensation to car owners for inconvenience and for the replacement and recall of all Gen 3 seatbelt buckles in Chrysler, Dodge and Jeep vehicles.


VEHICLE WRECKS

Consultwebs.com does not provide legal advice.  Our goal is to provide resources for consumers and attorneys.  You should consult with a lawyer for legal advice that applies to your situation and location.

Automobile / car accidents and truck wrecks cause untold suffering in our country.  The physical pain and injuries, the property loss as vehicles are damaged, the costly repair or replacement and the loss of income are distressing.  For many individuals, they are a part of their future as they struggle with disabilities, pain and loss of transportation.  Vehicle accidents are generally covered under a complex umbrella of interrelating laws designed to prevent harm or compensate a person or property for harm.   These are call Personal Injury Law and Tort Laws.  Torts occur through unreasonable negligence, malicious intention or strict liability.

Medical bills such as doctor, hospital or physical therapy bills can be overwhelming. Accidents involving licensed, motorized vehicles, including cars, trucks, motorcycles, mopeds, snowmobiles, planes, boats, etc., may entitle victims of these accidents to legal compensation for these and loss of income and pain and suffering endured as a result.

Dangerous intersections, poorly designed and maintained roads, crossing traffic lanes, turning vehicles, impaired, unlicensed or drunken drivers, obscured vision due to weather conditions  or improper highway design, faulty automobile equipment such as tires or airbags, worn or damaged roadway markings or other unsafe driving conditions lead to and contribute to accidents and collisions. 

If an insurance company assigned a lawyer to defend you, but at the same time, reserves the right to question whether they will provide full coverage, there is potential for a conflict of interest. It is usually wise to hire your own attorney to evaluate the situation and ensure that your interests are protected.  Initial consultations are often free.  Legal advice can save you time, trouble and money and can allow you to be compensated for your misfortune.

Vehicle Wrecks FAQs

What should I do immediately following a car accident?

Who is liable for paying for my physical injuries as well as any personal property damage?

Who is responsible for an accident involving my vehicle and a city street pothole?

Should I take the settlement my insurance company is offering me?

What issues will I face in making a claim for my injuries sustained in an auto accident?

What if I cannot afford to pay my medical bills?

When will my personal injury claim be resolved?

What is a permanent injury?

Am I at fault if I rear-end another vehicle?

I did not feel pain at the scene and refused medical treatment. Now, a few days later I am in pain. What should I do?


What should I do immediately following a car accident?
Remain calm and wait for paramedics to arrive on the scene. If you are not severely injured, collect all pertinent information from the other drivers - driver’s license numbers, address, telephone numbers, insurance card information, etc. Keep a daily journal beginning with the date of the accident to document all physical and mental injuries, as well as document your view of the accident.

BACK UP

Who is liable for paying for my physical injuries as well as any personal property damage?
The driver(s) who caused the accident’s liability insurance pays for your car damage and personal injuries. If you are at fault for the accident, your liability insurance will pay the other driver(s) for property damage and personal injuries up to your policy's limits.

BACK UP

Who is responsible for an accident involving my vehicle and a city street pothole?
Responsibility for damage caused by improper maintenance or repair of roads and highways generally lies with the government agency responsible for the upkeep of such roadways. If it were a pothole on a city street, the city would be responsible, etc.

BACK UP

Should I take the settlement my insurance company is offering me?
You should not take any settlements offered by an insurance company without first speaking with an experienced lawyer. Insurance companies typically offer a minimal amount of money in return for your signature stating that you will not sue them. Never take an insurance check without first consulting an attorney.

BACK UP

What issues will I face in making a claim for my injuries sustained in an auto accident?
The three categories of issues that typically arise in a tort claim after an automobile accident are:
• Liability – who is at fault and to what degree
• Damages – injuries or losses that were caused by the accident
• Insurance Coverage – what the insurance company will pay for after an accident
A claim for injuries usually is based upon carelessness or negligence. In worse case scenarios, it involves an intentional or reckless act.

BACK UP

What if I cannot afford to pay my medical bills?
If you suffer injuries from a car accident, you will likely have medical bills from physicians, hospitals, physical therapists, and other health care providers. You are primarily responsible for paying your bills, regardless of the cause of your injuries. The at-fault person's liability insurance carrier is responsible for paying you reasonable compensation for damages incurred, which includes medical bills, but the insurance carrier is not responsible for paying your doctors, hospitals, and other providers. Sometimes the amount the insurance company is willing to pay is far less than the actual amount you owe.

BACK UP

When will my personal injury claim be resolved?
Personal injury claims can be resolved in a matter of a few weeks or months. However, they can take up to several years depending on the complexity of the case. It is best to speak with an experienced personal injury attorney about your specific case.

BACK UP

What is a permanent injury?
A permanent injury is an injury that will be with you for the rest of your life or for some period beyond the settlement of the claim. In most cases, the injured party is entitled to compensation from the at-fault party or their insurance company for all medical bills incurred to date and into the future for all injuries caused by the accident.

BACK UP

Am I at fault if I rear-end another vehicle?
Usually, yes. Massachusetts’s law states that you must maintain a safe distance to be able to stop safely if a car stops in front of you.

BACK UP

I did not feel pain at the scene and refused medical treatment. Now, a few days later I am in pain. What should I do?
You should immediately consult your medical provider regarding any pain, discomfort or possible injuries from a car accident, even if you think they may be only minor injuries. Even if you did not complain of injuries at the scene of the car accident, you may be entitled to payment of your medical bills, compensation for pain and suffering, lost wages, loss of earnings capacity, and emotional distress due to personal injuries. You should consult an experienced Massachusetts car accident attorney to discuss whether you need representation on your claim.
