Ben F. Windham P.C., Clayton County Personal Injury Lawyer, exposes secrets of underinsured auto insurance in Georgia.

Clayton County, GA – November 25, 2020 —

The Georgia legislature has codified minimum requirements for motor vehicle liability insurance policies under O.C.G.A. § 33-7-11. Any automobile liability policy in this state must have not less than $25,000.00 dollars because of bodily injury to or death of one person in any one incident or $50,000.00 dollars because of bodily injury to or death of two or more persons in any one occurrence. In current economic times, $25,000.00 dollars is nowhere near enough insurance coverage for someone who is seriously injured in an automobile collision. Even minor collisions alone result in hospital visits for diagnostic testing and can result in more than $25,000.00 dollars in medical bills. This is not to mention that many injuries will put people out of work for some time, causing them to have a claim for lost wages.

It is very important due to the minimum required policy limits in this state that people have what is referred to as “uninsured” or sometimes “underinsured” motorist protection on their automobile insurance policy. While it is true that everyone should carry uninsured motorist protection, it is these types of policies that are the most unfair to insureds in the State of Georgia.

Until 2009, the secret of the insurance industry was that even if an insured paid for $25,000.00 dollars in uninsured/underinsured motorist coverage, they were only entitled to tap into that $25,000.00 dollars if the person that caused the collision in which they were injured had less than $25,000.00 dollars insurance coverage. In other words, if the person that hit you had $50,000.00 in insurance coverage and you had $25,000.00 in uninsured/underinsured insurance coverage, you would not be allowed to any portion of your $25,000.00 policy. This would be true even if your damages were in the many hundreds of thousands of dollars.

Finally, in 2008 the Georgia General Assembly, over and against the wishes of the powerful insurance lobby, decided to let the cat out of the bag and fix this dirty little secret. The new statute would read that everyone was entitled to their entire uninsured/underinsured motorist protection limits so long as their damages called for it. The insurance industry refers to this right to tap into your own insurance coverage as “added on uninsured motorist protection.” The new statute still allows insurance companies to wiggle out of honoring uninsured/underinsured motorist coverage so long as they have the insured execute an “opt-out” or “rejection” of the right to utilize the entire amount of the uninsured motorist protection limits. Never sign an “opt-out” of added on coverage document from your insurance carrier.

Another secret of the automobile insurance industry in the State of Georgia is that when you make a claim on your uninsured/underinsured motorist coverage, your insurance company hires lawyers to represent the person that caused the collision that hurt you and will try to defeat your claim to any of your own insurance. If the insurance company defends the person that caused your injuries in bad faith and you ultimately recover the entire amount of your uninsured/underinsured insurance limits, the penalties that await your insurance company are merely a slap on the wrist.

If your own insurance carrier evaluating your claim to uninsured / underinsured motorist coverage drags you through two years of litigation, then no matter what a jury awards you, you can only potentially recover a bad faith penalty of 25% of the limits of your uninsured/underinsured motorist protection and reasonable attorney’s fees. Should you get to that point and finally have a jury award you the limits of your uninsured/underinsured motorist protection, your insurance company will not voluntarily pay the penalty. They instead, fight and defend the second lawsuit that you must bring against the insurance company directly in order to prove they were acting in “bad faith.”

Another pitfall of uninsured automobile insurance in Georgia is that most folks don’t realize that you cannot say the word insurance or indirectly refer to the concept of insurance in any way at a personal injury trial seeking insurance proceeds. Georgia law allows insurance defense lawyers to defend their case in part by hoping that people on your jury will assume that you are suing the person that caused your injuries individually, creating guilt that should they award what is just and right they could financially ruin the person that was negligent.

A lot of insurance companies are putting in their policies that failure to file a claim and “formally” notify them within a reasonable time after an accident of your potential need to tap into your own uninsured/underinsured coverage will result in no coverage at all. I am seeing more and more large automobile insurance companies in Georgia completely refuse to honor any uninsured/underinsured claim by their customer when their customer fails to “formally” put them on notice of a potential claim within what they consider a reasonable time after the collision. The courts have little or no power to do anything other than side with the insurance companies based upon basic contract principles.

I hope this opens your eyes to many of the pitfalls that face Georgia consumers in making an uninsured / underinsured motorist claim on their own automobile insurance.

Behavioral Health Experts Respond to Mental health Calls Without Armed Police, Resurgence Behavioral Health highlights the benefits behind this approach in 2020

Orange County , United States – November 25, 2020 /MarketersMedia/ —

US cities are beginning to rethink who should be responsible for responding to mental-health crises. The first week of November, the city of New York announced a pilot program to be launched next year. A team of mental health experts will respond to 911 calls related to mental and substance-related problems and drug and alcohol problems instead of armed police. According to a recent report by the National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH), one in five New Yorkers has a mental illness.
Instead of ensuring that people with mental illness get the help they need, health care providers are by default reactionary to the person in crisis. In New York City, we must do everything we can to reach out to people when an emergency strikes, “Mayor Bill de Blasio said in a written statement.

Places like Resurgence Behavioral Health offers full-service residential alcohol and drug rehab programs within a safe and comfortable healing environment. It has several inpatient facilities across Orange County, specifically in Costa Mesa, Fountain Valley, Huntington Beach, and Fullerton Hills.

The new pilot program, which will take effect in February, will instead include training city hospitals to train mental health experts on behavioral problems. This was preceded by a wave of worldwide protests calling for an end to racism and police brutality. More than half of all people shot by police have experienced some form of a mental health crisis, New York Police Chief Bill Bratton recently told Insider. There were riots over black people, many of whom had mental health problems at their deaths.

If there is a mental health emergency related to a gun, NYPD officers can work with behavioral health professionals, the city said. These could include mental illness, depression, substance abuse, suicide attempts, or even suicide attempts.

The pilot program aims to improve the treatment of situations that affect behavior and provide people with the treatment they need. Crisis intervention teams were also trained, the city said in its statement.

Expanding the role of emergency mental health services means that people with urgent behavioral health needs can quickly receive appropriate and practical help from trained health professionals, Dr. Dave A. Chokshi said in a written statement.

The New York pilot program was inspired by a similar study in Eugene, Oregon, hailed as a successful model for addressing mental health crises. A behavioral medics team from the city’s Crisis Help on the Streets program took over social services – making calls from there. When the behavioral health professionals arrived on the scene, they called the officers because they believed law enforcement could handle the emergency.

Similar models have been introduced in other cities such as Los Angeles, New York City, and Chicago. Kenney, who teaches a course for NYPD officers who want to advance their training, told insiders that most police officers know they’re not good – suited to dealing with mental health problems or drug use. It’s not about removing police from the area, it’s also a question of what they are going to do instead.

Please contact or call them at 888-700-5053 to design an addiction treatment plan custom to your unique addiction and personal needs.

They accept most PPO insurances and also offer payment plans for cash patients.

Live on Kickstarter, the Baha Wooden Space Jigsaw Wall Puzzle Glows at Night.

Also available is a specially designed sticker to be applied to the back of the completed puzzle which then allows it to be mounted to the wall. Enthusiasts can then show off their complete space work while adding a touch of space travel to their homes and offices. There is also a glow-in-the dark edition which makes for a magical viewing experience when the lights go out.

Jigsaw Wall Space Picture is available in a 54-piece animated playful edition for younger kids, while the adult variant displays a more realistic theme and features 300-pieces. Each version is available in 3 different sizes – small (16.54” x 11.69”), medium (23.39” x 16.54”) and large (33.11” x 23.39”). If the campaign hits stretch goals, additional perks will unlock including a new 2XL size, a new space puzzle design, an ultra-gen puzzle design and an aroma puzzle.

“Our puzzle helps adults and kids to develop themselves from different sides. It helps to improve vision, concentration and attentiveness. People become more relaxed and collected with the daily use of our puzzle. Moreover, our puzzle cheers up and illuminated at night by creating a special charm atmosphere,” adds Marketing Director Mikhail Prakapovich. “You can also use it like an educational astronomy game for kids.

About Us: In the past, purchasing gifts felt like a chore, just off the shelf, with no shelf life, literally. It simply didn’t express the uniqueness of the recipient. Additionally, because the gifts weren’t unique, as soon as that wrapping paper came off, tossed in the trash, so were the good feelings gone and forgotten, along with the items themselves. I set out to correct this. I created a company to make gift giving simple yet expressive. Meaningful and special for you and your loved ones. To that end, we have curated an exclusive selection of one of a kind, designed in-house gifts, ensuring everlasting memories. Not merely a gift, but an experience!

Nevada has seen record rates of unemployment in 2020. Laborer’s Union Local 169 supports Nevada’s community by donating $12,500 to local charities to help put food on the tables of those in need.

Reno, Nevada, United States – November 25, 2020 /MarketersMedia/ —

Laborers Union Local 169 donated $12,500 in grocery store gift cards to seven local nonprofits in northern Nevada to support the local community in this time of need.

The seven nonprofits that received the donations are: Reno Initiative for Shelter and Equality, Food Bank of Northern Nevada, Catholic Charities of Northern Nevada, American Legion, Disabled American Veterans, Veterans of Foreign Wars, and Vietnam Veterans of America.

Eloy Jara, President of Laborers Union Local 169, stated, “We at Local 169 know many families are struggling to put food on the table right now, and we want to help the local community meet this basic need. That’s why we decided to help with this donation totaling $12,500. We hope this provides food to those needing it most at this critical time.”

With Nevada’s unemployment rate peaking at a record high of 30.1% this year according to U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, many charities are reporting greater demand for services.

“These seven nonprofits are pillars in our northern Nevada community,” Jara said. “We’re happy to ensure we get this financial assistance in the hands of those that need it most. Together we can make a difference. United we stand.”

Reno Initiative for Shelter and Equality (RISE) received 100 Raley’s gift cards of $25. RISE serves some of the most vulnerable in the Reno/Sparks area at Our Place, a women and family shelter. It houses 114 women, 25 families, and 18 seniors who would otherwise be homeless.

“Many of the families we will be welcoming in have either been living at the Reno Events Center (due to the COVID-19 pandemic), or have been living either in their cars or outside,” Benjamin Castro, Executive Director of RISE, said. “This will be their first time experiencing some privacy and access to their own fridge for months. Having the ability to fill it with their own food is a comfort that so many of us take for granted. We hope it will give them a sense of normalcy and belonging.”

Castro said, “on behalf of the RISE Team and the unsheltered families we serve, we sincerely thank our brothers and sisters from Local 169 for their support. Their contribution means they understand the value of community and that there is no future without us all.”

Jocelyn Lantrip, Food Bank of Northern Nevada spokesperson, accepted the $2,500 donation of Raley’s gift cards on behalf of the charity. The need for emergency food within northern Nevada has drastically increased from the 18.2 million meals the Food Bank distributed during the 2018-2019 fiscal year.

Lantrip explained, “Before the COVID-19 crisis, we were serving 91,000 people every month, and half of them are children and seniors. The numbers have risen significantly.”

“This donation is so important to families in our area,” she said. “Many have suddenly lost their income and they are struggling to pay any of their bills, including food for their table.”

The Food Bank serves people who live within the organization’s 90,000 square mile service area, including northern Nevada and some counties on the eastern slope of the Sierra Nevada in California.

Lantrip said, “We are so grateful for partners like (Local 169), because we simply could not do this work alone. This help will change lives.”

Catholic Charities of Northern Nevada (CCNN) also received $2,500 in donated gift cards.

CCNN Chief Development Officer Jennifer Hill said “through our Resource Hub and Food Pantry, these gift cards will help our clients extend their grocery budget. Most of our clients receive food stamp benefits, which are designed to cover the cost of groceries for three weeks. The food boxes they pick up from us are intended to cover the fourth week of the month.”

“With grocery prices on the rise, now is a wonderful time to be able to give our clients this extra benefit to help stretch their food budget and keep food on the table for their family,” Hill said.

Local 169 presented $5,000 in donations to four veterans’ organizations: the State Commanders of the American Legion, Disabled American Veterans, Veterans of Foreign Wars (VFW) and Vietnam Veterans of America. Each of the four veteran organizations received $1,250 worth of grocery store gift cards.

Nevada State Council President Lee Jackson accepted the donation on behalf of Vietnam Veterans of America (VVA).

“When passing out the gift cards to veterans at the Silver Spring food bank, several were in tears,” Jackson said. “That $25 gift card goes a long way and means a lot to our vets.”

Jackson stated, “Vietnam Veterans of America is greatly appreciative of Local 169’s generosity and through that generosity, we were able to help a number of veterans, in particular seniors and those that lost their jobs.”

Tony Yarbrough, VFW Commander of the Department of Nevada, said the this donation came when funds were greatly needed.

“Our fundraising efforts during the pandemic have been cut off, while the needs of those in our communities have dramatically increased,” Yarbrough said. “Our local food banks, and other available services are strained as they serve as many as possible. The kind and unexpected donation from Local 169 could not have come at a better time. Your warmhearted giving is both timely and appreciated.

Department Commander Jim Stewart of The American Legion Department of Nevada said this donation went to needy veterans who need food to feed their families.

“The impact will be huge to our needy veterans, young and old,” he said. “Many people do not realize that we have a lot of young veterans with families that are in need, not just our elderly veterans.”

Frank Greenwood of Disabled American Veterans (DAV) Department of Nevada, said, “DAV provides outreach to veterans to ensure they have the support they need, and with this donation our chapter was able to help several veterans and homeless veterans.”

Local 169 represents more than 1,200 workers in northern Nevada, primarily in construction, and is a member of LIUNA — the Laborers’ International Union of North America — a powerhouse of 12 million workers producing 5 percent of the USA’s economic output.
