Do you carry medical payments coverage as part of your automobile insurance policy?

Many individuals do not know the answer to this question. Medical payments coverage, often referred to as med-pay, reimburses vehicle occupants for medical bills relating to injuries sustained in an accident,  regardless of fault.   It usually comes with coverage limits in such amounts as $1,000, $5,000 or $10,000.    Med-pay will reimburse for reasonable and necessary medical expenses up to the coverage limit for each person in the vehicle.   For example, if there is applicable med-pay coverage and  you and a passenger are involved in an accident and incur medical bills, you may each submit those bills for reimbursement under the med-pay provision.    This is extremely helpful to those with no health insurance, or carry health insurance with a high deductibles.

Truck Driver falls asleep at the wheel causing fatal collission

In Washington State a truck driver fell asleep, crossed the center line of a  highway and collided with a car and a school bus. The 22 year old driver of the car died from his injuries. 43 students riding in the school bus were taken to the hospital, treated and released. One year ago, the same truck driver was cited  for crossing the center line causing a collision with injuries in this same area.

If you or a loved one has suffered injuries from an accident involving a truck, it can become more complicated than a regular automobile collision.    The truck driver who was involved in the crash most likely does not own the truck he is driving, which means the truck is owned by a separate company who must be brought into the case as well. Call the attorneys at Ledbetter & Titsworth to help. (919) 460-9798 or click www.mynclawyer.com for more information.

Car Accident & Crash Police Reports in North Carolina

When you or a loved one is involved in an auto accident resulting in death or injury, obtaining and understanding the accident report is extremely important. North Carolina auto accidents with property damage in excess of $1000, involving fatality or injury, or police seizure of a vehicle or vehicles require a North Carolina crash report be filled out by the responding officer. This report will include generalized information about the crash such as driver and owner information and road conditions, but may also include specialized information about contributing causes to the accident. If alcohol or drugs, reckless operation of a vehicle, texting while driving or other forms of distracted driving were involved in the accident, the crash report will list these and any other circumstances that may have contributed and were discovered in the investigation. Facts like these will be critical in determining who was at fault for the accident and proving your auto accident case.


The North Carolina crash report is compiled by the officer who responded to the crash, but may include added information from officers specializing in traffic investigations. North Carolina uses form DMV-349 for crash reports. The information listed on this form will be coded which makes reading and understanding a crash report form difficult for the average person. North Carolina Department of Motor Vehicles provides an instruction manual to assist in reading and understanding crash reports, but even with this assistance, it is still all but impossible for the layperson to comprehend. The experienced auto accident lawyers at Ledbetter & Titsworth are here to help. We understand North Carolina crash reports and how to use these in your auto accident case, we’ll be happy to help you understand what is on the crash report and what it all means.
