National Insurance Company Denies Disability Benefits, Blames Covid-19
|
|
|
Last Friday, the Law Offices of Scott Warmuth received a notification letter from a large, national insurance company denying our workers' compensation client temporary disability (TD) benefits because of the Covid-19 pandemic. The insurance company is arguing that our client's modified work duty is no longer valid because the company is not currently in operation and is therefore not eligible for any TD benefits. This assertion by the insurance company is outrageous.

Less Freeway Traffic Means Fewer Crashes, but Increased Serious Injury Risk
|
|
|
One of the most surreal aspects of the Safer at Home restrictions is the freeway traffic, or lack thereof. With schools and many non-essential businesses closed and larger corporate businesses encouraging work from home, it hasn’t been uncommon to see completely green traffic maps across Southern California, even during typical rush hours. Because freeway traffic is mostly flowing unimpeded, the average speed of traffic is increased. If a collision does occur, it will most likely happen at a higher speed, potentially resulting in a more severe crash and higher risk of serious injury.

What is a Statute of Limitations?
|
|
|
One topic many clients have questions about is something called the ‘statute of limitations’. The phrase is most widely known in relation to criminal offenses. TV shows such as Law and Order or Cold Case may discuss statutes of limitations regarding whether or not an old crime is possible to prosecute. Statutes of limitations, however, apply to more than just criminal cases.
