PIP Law Changes Affect $10,000 Coverage in an Auto Accident
Thank you for watching Minute with Mike, free legal advice answered by attorney Michael C. Blickensderfer every Wednesday at Noon.
Blick law Firm is a local Tampa Bay legal firm specializing in personal injury, criminal, bankruptcy and real estate law all across the state of Florida.
In recent Legislation news, the Personal Injury Protection (PIP) law was recently changed to ensure auto accident victims seek medical treatment quickly to qualify for full insurance coverage.
Florida’s PIP insurance law as adopted by House Bill 119 now requires those injured from an auto accident to seek medical treatment within 14 days of their injury.
If an accident victim does not seek treatment within the 14-day window, they will loose access to full PIP coverage.
The practical effect of these changes will be to limit most PIP claims to only $2,500 in benefits, as most auto accidents involve soft tissue cases not falling under the “emergency medical condition” definition. Everyone is required to obtain and pay for the $10,000 in PIP coverage, but the insurance companies will limit claims to $2,500, resulting in a windfall to the insurance companies and an injustice to the policy holder/ accident victim.
For further information regarding PIP Law changes in Florida please visit our website at www.blicklawfirm.com or call 813-931-0840.

Por qué contratar a un abogado de bienes raíces?
En el pasado, se pensaba que un agente inmobiliario era la única persona que se necesitaba para la venta de su propiedad. Una tercera persona, tan necesaria como el agente inmobiliario, es un abogado de bienes raíces. Mientras tu agente puede asistirte con la logística de venta/compra, junto con la negociación del precio y fecha del cierre, Michael Blickensderfer puede revisar cualquier oferta que usted haga o reciba y asegurarse que sus derechos y deberes sean protegidos.
Usted y Michael pueden discutir y llegar a un acuerdo con respecto a cuanto usted desea que el este envuelto en la transacción y los precios/cargos serán expuestos antes de cualquier decisión final.
Si compra una propiedad, Michael puede:
- Ayudarlo a entender el contrato de venta y compra, incluyendo como a usted le gustaría tomar titulo de la propiedad.
- Verificar que no haya deudas o problemas registrados contra la propiedad que impida el uso de ella.
- Preparar y registrar todos los documentos legales.
- Clarificar los términos de la hipoteca y trabajar con el banco, si es necesario modificarlos.
- Inspeccionar los ajustes, incluyendo los impuestos que se deben y costos de utilidad pagados, antes del cierre.
- Revisar e inspeccionar el cierre y los documentos que usted debe firmar.
- Manejar el seguro de titulo para protegerlo de pérdidas debido a problemas con el título de propiedad.
- Asegurarse que usted reciba una registración valida de su propiedad sujeto a las obligaciones que usted aceptó.
Si usted vende su casa, Michael puede:
- Revisar o preparar el contrato de venta y compra, incluyendo la negociación y términos.
- Preparar el titulo y poder, si es necesario.
- Trabajar con los asuntos/problemas del título y ayudar a corregirlos.
- Revisar e inspeccionar el cierre y todos los documentos que usted debe firmar.
- Arreglar la transferencia de depósitos de seguridad.
- Manejar los certificados de seguro, si es necesario.
Otros servicios reclaman que pueden hacer todo el trabajo legal por usted pero cuando se refiere a bienes raíces no es el momento de ahorrar algo de dinero o “hacerlo usted mismo”. Michael conoce todos los estándares que se deben llevar a cabo. Aunque muchos documentos de bienes raíces son similares, el acuerdo/contrato de venta y compra pueden variar de acuerdo al estado/lugar.
Aun más, algunas compañías de titulo y bancos requieren el uso de un abogado para asegurarse que el titulo este correcto, no haya obligaciones en contra de la propiedad y la transacción se complete.
Si usted está listo para hacer o aceptar una oferta de una propiedad llame a Blick Law Firm hoy y hable con uno de nuestros miembros del equipo de bienes raíces. Usted todavía puede firmar la oferta con la seguridad que Michael lo ayudara.
Tax Returns being used to file Bankruptcy
The Columbia University Mailman School of Public Health reports that more families have been using their tax rebates to file for bankruptcy.
In 2001, bankruptcies increased 2 percent after receiving rebates but increased 7 percent in 2008, according to research by Tal Gross, an assistant professor of health policy and management at the school.
Overall, Gross found bankruptcy filings fell by more than 50 percent between the two years, presumably due to the Bankruptcy Abuse Prevention and Consumer Protection Act passed in 2005. Legal fees for filing increased from an average of $921 to $1,477.
While some debate the new law was a good way to weed out unnecessary filings, Gross believes it made it more difficult for families in need to dig themselves out of their financial troubles.
Although bankruptcy has had a bit of a bad rep in the past, it may be the only option for people with medical debt. Attorney Michael Blickensderfer is knowledgeable in recent bankruptcy laws and may offer assistance as you face this hardship.
Although filing for bankruptcy remains on one’s credit history for up to 10 years, the credit score may go up as much as 100 points as shortly as a year later.
Call Blick Law Firm today to receive a free consultation regarding chapter 7 bankruptcy and how you can file and the procedures that go into filing.
Think quick, call Blick. 813-931-0840.

iPhone 4S violates laws on no texting while driving with new voice-activated assistance feature
Tampa- Apple’s iPhone 4S makes it possible to send text messages while driving, keeping both hands on the wheel.
How is this possible? New features for Apple iPhone makes it so the phone’s voice-activated personal assistant, nicknamed “Siri” can be used to dictate text messages without typing as well as read incoming texts aloud. Sounds perfect right?!
There is just one problem. Texting while driving is illegal in dozens of states. This new feature causes controversy if this is in violation of the law. Some states ban electronic communication while driving completely, while other states allow hand-free devises to be used behind the wheel.
Siri is not the first to offer voice-activated applications available to drivers. Other applications such as Vlingo and Sensory can be downloaded to cell phones for the same purpose. Ford and BMW also have designed speech-to-text systems for some of their newest vehicles.
The new technologies developing are designed to make texting while driving safer, so to speak. States need to re-evaluate their law banning texting while driving as more and more motorists adopt new technologies like Siri.
Lawmakers need to review whether or not hands-free devices sending messages is any less distracting to drivers than thumbing out texts from the road. What do you think?
According to the TBT, 34 states have banned texting while driving; nine states have banned the use of handheld phones while driving. Florida still has no such restrictions on either cellphone use or texting while driving.
Know the risks to texting while driving. For further information regarding texting while driving laws, please call Blick Law Firm to assist with your legal needs. 813-931-0840.
Do not text and drive.
