WHAT IS NEW WITH THE TULLY FAMILY:
Well there is some advantage to working in a hospital…Katie Tully our future PhD Doctor in Psychology got the Covid vaccine early because of the work she does inside a New York hospital! Way to go Katie!
PRIVATE INVESTIGATORS AND HOW INSURANCE COMPANIES USE THEM:
Insurance companies will use any tactic available to them in order to minimize the value of your case. In addition to searching your social media posts, insurance companies have hired private investigators to follow some clients around as they go about their day to see whether their injuries are legitimate or not. Legally the insurance company doesn’t have to tell you they are surveilling you either, until they spring it on you at your deposition! Insurance companies are not on your side in accident cases.
HOW TO STOP THE RUNNING OF THE STATUTE OF LIMITATIONS IN YOUR CASE:
Is there a way to stop the running of the statute of limitations in your case, other than filing a Complaint in Civil Action? Yes, and it is called a Writ of Summons. What this does is simply sue the wrongdoer by name but it does not go into any of the specific allegations that a Complaint does. It is designed to make a simple 2 page filing available to the public to preserve the statute of limitations. Call us for details on this. We can help you if your accident is near the statute date.
YOUR DOCTOR AND HOW THEY CAN HELP YOUR CASE:
In many cases the doctors treating you for your accident related injuries can make or break your case. The reason is insurance companies like to argue that your injuries weren’t caused by the accident, or aren’t as serious as claimed. Your treating doctor is crucial because they can write a narrative report describing your course of treatment for your injuries. When you doctor says your injuries are from the accident, it really helps your case.
KEEPING YOUR NEW YEARS RESOLUTION:
We are one month into 2021 and I hope everyone is sticking with their New Years Resolution! Whether your goal is to lose weight, eat healthier, or keep a positive attitude, the most important thing is not to be too hard on yourself. If you slip up there is no need to beat yourself up, just get back on the horse!
THE VACCINE IS ON THE WAY:
No matter what your position is on masks, or the response to the pandemic in general, the good news is that there is light at the end of the tunnel! Please make sure to get the vaccine when it becomes available.
SUCCESSFUL NFL SEASON:
Although it wasn’t the same without having the fans in the stands every Sunday, it really is remarkable the NFL season went as smoothly as it did. We hope the Super Bowl is a great game (even without the Steelers). LOL Where would we be without Steelers football this year?
