Did You Know? The Importance of Uninsured/Underinsured Motorist Benefits
In our law practice, I have found that one of the biggest mistakes our clients make is by choosing to purchase the lowest coverage offered to them for uninsured and underinsured motorist benefits. Most people never expect to be involved in an automobile accident, let alone be injured due to the negligence of someone who was either driving uninsured or with very limited liability coverage. To make matters worse, many insurance agents try to beat a competing agent’s price quote and never explain to you the real reason why their coverage is so inexpensive. As a result of this lack of communication, we find that our clients frequently purchase inferior insurance coverage.
Did You Know? Mileage Reimbursement in Workers’ Compensation Cases
As a great many of our clients are presently involved in ongoing Workers’ Compensation claims, it is very important that the various benefits and entitlements are understood and actively pursued.
A great example of one such benefit is mileage reimbursement for travel back and forth from visits to medical providers. In a Maryland Workers’ Compensation claim, injured workers are entitled to be reimbursed at the rate of $0.485 (forty eight point five cents).
