Personal
injury victims are often shocked to learn that a portion of their
personal injury recovery may have to be paid to their health
insurance company as reimbursement for accident related medical
charges that were paid by the health insurance company. The right of
a health insurance company to recover payments made for
accident-related health expenses is called the right of
“subrogation.”
Until
recently, the Texas “made whole” doctrine protected injury
victims by providing that they should get paid first and be “made
whole” before having to reimburse their health insurance companies.
After all, why should ...

legal decisions and ramifications available to an individual.

Though airbags sound a recent invention, their history goes as far back as 1951. The first patent of the airbag was applied for by the German Walter Linderer and American John Hedrik. Hedrik's patent was granted in 1953. It was not until the late 1980s that airbags became a standard feature when Chrysler began to incorporate them into its models. By the early 1990s most cars were being manufactured with airbags to protect the driver and, within a couple of years, this had been extended to the front passenger seat.
30 years ago, the first series-production car equipped with an airbag ...

exemptions for debtors. If property is exempt, it will not be subject
to the claims of creditors.
Under
new bankruptcy law, a debtor will be required to submit a schedule or
list of exempt property when they file the bankruptcy petition. The
schedule should ...

No
one plans on dramatic financial changes, but they happen. When
changes do arise to an individual in Chapter 13 bankruptcy, they
might be misled into believing there is no other option than sticking
to their schedule of set monthly payments. But they might be
surprised to find that Chapter 13 bankruptcy has a great deal of
flexibility. Before we discuss options, it is important to note that
payments are not something you want to ignore. You must make all of
your Chapter 13 payments in full and on time because if you do happen
to miss a payment, the trustee in charge of your case may drop or
