When you get into a car accident, if there are injuries you have two separate claims. One for property damage relating to the claim; and one for bodily injury. As far as bodily injury is concerned the insurance company does not pay for care as you go they pay once typically at the end of your treatment. They should be issuing payment to you so long as their are no medical liens as it relates to your care. If there is a medical lien the medical provider has a possible right to the money...

They want you to resign so they have an arguement not to pay you weekly checks through workers comp. You should contact a Georgia workers compensation attorney prior to any further dealings with your employer.

The responses previously given to you by the other attorneys are accurate and good. You should make sure you were not specifically excluded from your mother's policy. Sometimes insurance companies have a way of tell you things which may not exactly be the truth. Start with the policy! As far as license suspension that has to be done by the Georgia Department of Driver services. The Department of Driver Services can suspend you license if you are charged with certain serious traffic...

Unfortunately, there are several questions that would require further information from you. It appears you had a fall, was the fall at work, while working? That piece of information could be critical in determining if you could have your workers compensation benefits reinstated. If the fall was not related to an on the job injury you will likely have a difficult time getting your benefits reinstated. Another thing to look at was the full duty release, who released you and why they...

Unfortunately insurance companies take a hard stance on the dollar amount that they allow for a rental car. Once the insurance company decides the vehicle is a total loss, they immediately stop paying for the rental car. Therefore if you are not actively looking for another vehicle, you could be personally paying rental cost beyond the time the insurance company determines your vehicle is not repairable. You have a duty to mitigate your damages, that means you have a duty to not run up...

As is mentioned above you have two separate claims, one for workers compensation and one for personal injury. There are benefits to setting up both claims, and as Mr. Ferguson says having workers compensation treat you and pay for your medical care, and then once you have completed care going forward with the personal injury claim. If you structure it properly you can have little out of pocket expenses yet receive the medical care you need to get you back on the road. Good luck.
You should contact your automobile insurance carrier and see if you have theft insurance coverage. You will also want to make a police report if you have not done so. The property owner does not have to guarantee your safety or that your property will not be stolen.
Your daughter should put her insurance on notice. Coverage would be like a rental car unless she has special policy excluding her from driving another vehicle. Out of an abundance of caution she should notify them and set up a claim. They should also provide counsel if she is sued.
It does not sound like you need an attorney at this point. Your insurance is required to protect and defend up to your insurance policy should matters change. In order to maintain that protection you should notify your insurance company. If no one is hurt, there likely will not be a negligence claim. Time will only tell if they file a claim against you.
Your question depends on insurance or assets and damages, if the lady did not have insurance and does not have assets the question will revolve around the surgical center. Was she instructed to not drive? Did the surgical center do the surgery and not tell her she needed someone to driver her, and let her operate her vehicle? If this is the case there may be some liability on their part. If not, they may not bear any responsibility. Also, you mentioned a herniated disc, is it...
