A few years ago I was shopping in a large chain store when I slipped in some linseed oil that had been spilled on the floor. I ended up seriously injuring my right shoulder and I eventually needed surgery...

My husband and I were in a serious car accident in which the other driver crossed into our lane and hit us head on. My husband broke his back and I hurt my shoulder so bad that I needed surgery. The first lawyer we hired told us our case was only worth a small amount of money...

I came from my home in the United Kingdom to work at a children’s summer camp in northern New Hampshire. Not long after I arrived, I was bitten in the face by a large Akita dog.

Several years ago I was rear-ended while driving and suffered a back injury. The back injury got worse and worse and eventually I was unable to continue working as a landscape architect. Needless to say I was very concerned about my future...

- Rick Kelley
As painful as my injuries and rehabilitation were, I truly did not consider them to be part of the nightmare, because they were, after all, accidents. The actual nightmares were delivered through the callous indifference of insurance companies and the sheer insanity of the Workers Compensation system.

Answers to Your Injury Questions

Q: I was injured in a car accident and it was the other driver's fault. They didn't have insurance...what can I do?

It is likely that your own insurance policy will provide benefits. Many people don't realize that many car insurance policies have uninsured motorist coverage, also known as UM coverage. This coverage is required in both New Hampshire and Vermont. Your insurance company should cover your expenses, including all medical expenses and lost wages. However, they are still an insurance company and they may attempt to deny you coverage. If that happens, you may file a claim against your own insurance company. Typically, a claim against your insurance company takes the form of a "bad faith" claim. This claim asserts they acted unreasonably in their claims offer, or their denial of your claim for benefits.
