Does my employer have to continue my health care coverage when I'm on pregnancy leave?

During your pregnancy, your employer must continue your healthcare coverage when you are taking twelve weeks of leave under the Federal Family and Medical Leave Act or the California Family Rights Act. During this time, you may have to pay the employee contribution just as you would if you were actively employed in the workplace. But your employer needs to continue your group health coverage and pay the employers portion of your health benefits. My name is Sarah Schlehr of the Schlehr Law Firm. I work to protect California employees from discrimination and harassment in the workplace.

What is medical malpractice?

Medical malpractice is when a health care provider deviates from the standard of care in his community and as a result of that deviation of standard care, the patient is injured. In the same way that an automobile accident, we call the person who called that action negligent, we call in medicine, if the doctor is negligent, we call that medical malpractice.

Why are birth injury awards so large?

Birth injury claims are very large because the injuries come about through a birth injury, are catastrophic and generally will involve millions of dollars for their childs medical care and simply cost of living to take care of their child through their childs life.

Are brain injuries obvious after a car accident?

Obviously, when somebody sustains a fractured skull or has a craniotomy where they have to open up your head immediately after an accident, the individual knows that they had a brain injury after an accident and its no mystery to any of the health care providers. On the other hand often times there's a close head injury, without any bleeding, which may or may not present itself initially at the hospital, but ultimately can provide for long term permanent suffering and its only if a skilled attorney gets the individual the type of neuropsychological testing that they need, that these injuries are fully diagnosed and a skilled attorney can get you fair compensation for this type of injury. I'm Mitchell Proner. If you are looking for an experienced skilled attorney to represent you or a loved one in New York, contact me today.

What should I do first after a motorcycle accident in New York?

The first thing you want to do after a motorcycle accident in New York, or anywhere in the United States, is do a quick body check. From your toes to the top of your head, "Do I feel anything? Is anything bothering me? Is anything tingling? Is anything hurting? Am I in pain anywhere?" And if you feel any symptoms, you want somebody to contact an ambulance and go to a hospital and get yourself checked out. Even though you might be concerned about the cost of that ambulance ride and the cost of that hospital visit, it's more important to get your health taken care than to worry about what happens to your bike afterwards. Then, immediately after that, if you sustained injuries, contact an attorney so that attorney can get to work on safeguarding any evidence and doing what they can to make sure that you get as much money as possible as quickly as possible. I'm Mitchell Proner. If you are looking for an experienced, skilled attorney to represent you or a loved one in New York, contact me today.
