Marvel, CO Personal Injury Law Firms & Lawyers

You selected "Nebraska" as the State when you asked your Question. However, you mention "PIP" (Personal Injury Protection) and a settlement. Nebraska is a "fault" state and the vast majority of settlements would not involve a PIP settlement. As I do not believe Nebraska is involved in your Question and do not know what State is involved I cannot answer your Question as that could constitute the unauthorized practice of law. Attorneys can only offer legal advice in States they are licensed to practice in. If there is a Nebraska connection in your Question then you should re-ask it but make sure to include information about Nebraska is involved. Otherwise, you should re-ask your Question and select whatever State your settlement occurred in. DISCLAIMER: This response should be considered general in nature, for information purposes only and should be used only as a starting point for addressing legal questions and issues. It is based on the limited information provided and, in some instances, makes certain assumptions. It is intended only for cases involving Nebraska and Nebraska law and is not applicable to any other state or jurisdiction. The author does not warrant the accuracy or validity of the information contained within this response, and hereby disclaims any liability to any person for any loss or damage caused by errors or omissions. In addition, this response is not a substitute for professional legal advice and does not create an attorney-client relationship, nor should it be considered a solicitation for additional legal advice or legal representation. If you ignore this warning and convey confidential information in a private message or comment, there is no duty to keep that information confidential or forego representation adverse to your interests. You should seek the advice of a licensed attorney in the appropriate jurisdiction to fully discuss your case. You should be aware that there are Statute of Limitations (the deadline imposed by law within which you may bring a lawsuit) as well as other requirements and/or limitations that limit the time you have to file any potential claims you may have. This response may be considered advertising in some jurisdictions under any and all applicable laws and ethical rules. The listing of any area of practice that the author practices in does not indicate any certification or expertise therein, nor does it represent that the quality of legal services to be performed would be greater than the quality of legal services performed by other lawyers. It is merely an indication by the author of areas of law in which he practices. The determination of the need for legal services and the choice of a lawyer are extremely important decisions and should not be based solely upon advertisements or self-proclaimed expertise. Readers are urged to make their own independent investigation and evaluation of any lawyer being considered.

If you are at fault for the accident, then you are liable for all the damages caused by the accident - including the medical bills for care given to the other driver for all her injuries including future medical expenses.

There really is no law called "Slip and fall". It is a term we sometimes use for cases where people fall. You would have to prove that the doctors failure to prescribe or provide crutches was negligent.
