New Auto Insurance Law Signed Into Law
Gov. Scott signed into law a new auto insurance that will drastically reduce how much of your medical bills will be paid by under your PIP coverage. You will pay for $10,000 worth of coverage but your insurance will likely only pay $2,500 of your bills. You must get treatment within 14 days of the accident or nothing will be paid. A herniated disc injury, like Dwight Howard’s which required surgery, may leave you with thousands of dollars of medical bills as your responsibility. The worst part is that your insurance payments will not go down but you will have less insurance. Maybe in 2014, premiums will be reduced but only maybe. This law goes into effect on July 1, 2012. You need to make sure you have health insurance coverage or you will likely have some large medical bills hanging over your head if you get hurt in an auto accident after July 1.

What To Do When Your Employer Wont Report Your Accident
When your employer says that they wont call and report your injury to the insurance, you should call the Employee Assistance Office at 1-800-342-1741 and ask them to help you. They will report the acccident to the right insurance company and will help you get your claim started. Your employer may not want to report it thinking that the insurance premiums may go up or your superviser may lose a bonus. Your health is too important to let them get away with it and they will deny that you ever reported it and you may lose your case, so don’t wait to call the State or call us for help.

Unrestrained Teenager Dies in Car Wreck
Another Central Florida teenager was ejected from her car and died. She was a passenger in the back seat at the time of the accident. The belted driver survived. We urge everyone to wear your seatbelt at all times and wear it correctly! Seat belts do work. A trooper once told me that he had never unbuckled a dead person from a car crash. Not wearing your seatbelt can lower the amount you can recover for your injuries. If you have questions about your legal rights, call us at Wieland, Hilado & DeLattre, P.A. 407-841-7699 or visit us at WhenJusticeMatters.com

Florida’s Driving an Texting Law?
What law? Florida has not passed a law banning texting and driving. Why not? We have seen a drastic increase in senseless car accidents (rear-end collisions, running red lights) due to people who never applied their brakes. Why? Because of the need to read that all important text or E-mail. We all need to realize the dangers of distracted driving. We want Central Florida to be a safer place. If you have been injured in a accident or suffered an on the job injury or need help with your Social Security claim call us for a free consultation. 407-841-7699
Tractor Trailor Crash On I-4 At Fairbanks Curve
The deadliest curve in Orlando is stii not fixed. One week after the DOT spent thousands of dollars carving grooves in the road another tractor trailer crashes on the Westbound side. The grooves may help drain water but they don’t improve traction. Why don’t they straighten out the curve? Well, it might be that some well connected people live in the way. We don’t want to disturb College Park! If this were Parramore, it would have been straightened out and fixuse years ago. If you are involved in a trucking accident, have a work related injury or a Social Security problem, call us for a free consultation. Wieland, Hilado & DeLattre. 407-841-7699.
No Traffic Tickets For Police Chief
Davie, Florida police chief was found to be at fault when his police cruiser hit a child bicyclist. Yet, he was not given a ticket. Why? Are they never wrong or do they just protect their own? Read the full story. http://www.orlandosentinel.com/fl-davie-chief-accident-20120322,0,153891.story?track=osiphoneapp. We represented a young man on his way to get a haircut and was killed when his car was struck during an improper police chase. The Orlando Police Department has never admitted they were wrong and have never apologized to the family for contributing to their son’s death. They refuse to admit they did anything wrong. No officer was charged with anything and no officer was disciplined. OPD did it’s own investigation of it’s own police officers. Isn’t this the fox watching the hen house? Why doesn’t an independent review board review matters like these with the ability to issue citations and discipline officers? Because they don’t want an independent review. Call us if you have a case like this for a free consultation. Wieland, Hilado DeLattre. 407-841-7699
