Do Uber Cars Carry PIP Insurance for Car Accidents?
Personal Injury Protection (PIP) insurance can be a big benefit after an Uber car accident.
Several states have No-Fault laws. Just look at this map:
Each states’ No-fault laws are different. For example, in Florida, if you qualify for Personal Injury Protection (PIP), it could pay up to $10,000 of medical bills and lost wages. And got forbid someone dies in the crash, PIP pays a $5,000 death benefit.
If you’re in an Uber accident, you may be entitled to Personal Injury Protection (PIP) insurance. However, if you’re hurt as a passenger in an Uber vehicle in Florida, Uber won’t give you Personal Injury Protection (PIP) benefits. This is true regardless of whether you live in Florida or are an out of state resident who is injured in a Florida car accident.
If an Uber hits a pedestrian, Uber’s PIP won’t cover the pedestrian unless the Uber driver’s app was on but he wasn’t engaged in a ride.
How Much is a Scar Worth in an Accident Case?
How much is scar worth in a personal injury case?
I answer this question in this article. I’ll share some of my settlements (with amounts) for scar cases. You’ll see photos of the actual scar. This will help you get a better idea of what it looked like.
You’ll get to learn how the scar specifically affected the settlement amount.
I won’t stop there.
As an added bonus, I’ll also share some settlements where the injury was discolored skin.
Can I sue for a scar?
Yes, if someone was careless and caused your scar. This means that aren’t entitled to a penny for pain and suffering if you were 100% at fault for causing the accident.
Some states have car accident laws that require the scar to meet certain requirements in order for you to get money for pain and suffering. For example, in Florida, in many car accident cases, you need a permanent and significant scar in order to get compensation for pain and suffering associated with it. However, that law does not apply in every car accident case. A car accident lawyer knows the standard that you’ll need to meet to get a payout for scar.
But don’t be to worried about that standard. Car insurance companies may still offer compensation for pain and suffering even for small scar. In a moment, you’ll see this from my settlements below.
If you have a bad scar, it is worth more than if the scar is small.
Is there a calculator that can tell you how much compensation you’ll get for a scar?
No. Sure there are personal injury settlement calculators on the internet. Believe it or not, I just linked to one that I created.
However, there is not a calculator that can tell you how much a scar is worth. The reason is that a scars are very different. A scar could be very small (and thin), or it could be big and wide.
People put a significance on scars because scars tell us a story. Generally speaking, scars on a woman are worth more than on a man. This is because scars on a man can be associated with being tough. Some men consider it an honor to have a scar.

[Read more…]Why Taking Ambulance to Hospital Increases Full Settlement Value
If you are transported by ambulance to the hospital following an accident, it increases the full value of your personal injury claim.
But don’t take my word for it.
Just look at my biggest personal injury settlements. In the 7 out of my top 10 settlements, the injured person took an ambulance to the hospital. In one case, I got a $300,000 settlement for a broken leg from a car accident. My client took an ambulance to the hospital. That is one of my many settlements for people who were hurt in Florida while visiting from another state.
However, I’ve also had some great results even though the injured person did not take an ambulance to the hospital.
