To survive summary judgment, a no-fault insurance benefits plaintiff must establish a medical connection between her injuries and the alleged cause of those injuries, the North Dakota Supreme Court has ruled. The plaintiff was in an automobile accident but did not request medical assistance at that time. One month later, she sought medical care, reporting back pain and "pain all over.
Medication expenses already account for approximately $3.26 billion of the total medical costs associated with auto accidents each year, according to a recent study by the National Highway Traffic and Safety Administration. For auto no-fault insurers this means steps must be taken to contain costs without compromising care for their insureds. Here are the four key strategies to contain costs: 1. Work with a national network of pharmacies. 2. Offer mail order programs to insureds. 3. Establish an effective utilization review process. 4. Partner with a pharmacy benefits manager (PBM). While many auto no-fault insurance companies partner with a PBM to minimize the impact of rising drug costs, they also realize administrative and insured satisfaction benefits. By working with a PBM that off...

UNEMPLOYMENT insurance benefits are paid out of a trust fund. This fund needs to be built up during good times in order to weather a recession when the fund pays out more than it takes in. Right now it will go insolvent in 2015 without the looming recession. We need to make the changes suggested below, or we are going to be in a crisis. Unemployment insurance benefits are paid to workers who lose their jobs through no fault of their own, but who are still able to work and are still looking for work. The payment of unemployment insurance benefits does two good things. First, the individual worker has some involuntary "savings" income to tide him or her over until the next job. Second, and equally important, during recessions when many workers are laid off, the laid off workers' receipt o...

The state Assembly early Friday approved a plan passed previously by the Senate to increase employers' unemployment insurance taxes through at least 2013. The measure, devised by an administrative advisory council representing both management and labor interests, would require employers to pay unemployment insurance taxes on more of their employees' wages. It's aimed at shoring up the state's fund for insurance benefits to workers who lose their jobs through no fault of their own.
YOU ARE in the car of another who is driving and an accident occurs involving the car, what are your rights? Under the law of New York State, No-Fault, also called Personal Injury Protection (PIP), prompt payment by the driver's automobile insurance company is required regardless of which driver(s) may have been at fault or whether there was any negligence in the car accident. Payments are made for actual economic losses (meaning medical expenses, lost earnings, and other reasonable and necessary expenses related to injuries sustained), up to $50,000 per person ("basic No-Fault coverage"). This law applies both to a drivers, passengers and pedestrians involved in car accidents. Thus as a passenger you are covered by No-Fault. How can a lawyer be of use in the No-Fault system?

LANSING, Mich., Sept. 8, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- The Michigan Chamber of Commerce today released a study showing significant reforms are needed to protect Michigan's valued no-fault automobile insurance system from collapse and keep premiums competitive with other states. The Chamber-sponsored study determined that no-fault reforms are needed to prevent a cost crisis that could destroy Michigan's no- fault system. The study identified four primary recommendations for reform: 1) place upper limits on no-fault benefits; 2) allow consumers to choose the level of benefits they receive; 3) enact cost controls for medical and long-term care through a fee schedule similar to that used for systems such as worker's compensation; and 4) introduce a coordinated response to claims fraud.
