Self-driving cars exist and the way they operate advances every day, which is hard to keep up with, especially when you’re not a tech guru. These self-driving cars, otherwise known as autonomous vehicles, have varying degrees of human intervention while driving. Most still have a person physically behind the wheel, but the car is able to steer, accelerate, and brake by itself. More advanced autonomous vehicles can even interpret their surroundings and navigate without the driver.

Most of the time after a car accident, you’ll be dealing with your insurance company. You’ll need to review your policy, determine if the other person’s policy can pay for any of your damages, and calculate what you believe you’re owed for your damages—which could involve medical bills, lost wages, pain and suffering, and more.

Unfortunately, insurance policies are complex and it’s not uncommon for drivers to be unaware of aspects of their policy and what their rights or obligations are. Adjusters may try to take advantage of that to reduce what their company pays out. But what happens if the adjuster makes an error? Let’s take a look at how you know if your insurance company made a mistake with your claim after an accident.

Medical malpractice lawsuits are notoriously complex and challenging. Injured patients, however, should receive the compensation they need for medical bills, lost wages, pain and suffering, and other damages when a doctor’s negligence results in their injuries. Unfortunately, justice for med mal lawsuits isn’t always served. According to the National Center for Biotechnology Information (NCBI), only 50% of trials in cases with strong evidence of medical negligence result in an award for the plaintiff.
