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.
