Many of you know of our remarkable history which is built around hard work, dedication, and trust. Serving a full array of business and personal legal needs including business transactions, business formation, estate planning, living trusts and wills, tax law, employment law, bankruptcy, and personal injury, the Law Offices of Young Wooldridge stands ready to help our clients when they are seeking the best in legal representation. Our attorneys are highly skilled within their respective legal disciplines and welcome the privilege of serving Tehachapi and its surrounding communities. We are excited to share aspects of the law and trends which we see on a daily basis in hopes of keeping your family, and businesses safe and protected. With that in mind, I would like to provide to you some trends in the fast changing legal climate that we see on a frequent basis. We are pleased to be of assistance and we hope this information will be helpful to you. Of course, if we can be of further assistance always feel free to contact our office at 661-327-9661 or visit our websites at YoungWooldridge.com or YWpersonalinjury.com. You may also contact our Investigator Frank Wooldridge at 661-496-2810 for service 24/7. Frequently we have clients come into our personal injury department who, because of no fault of their own have been involved in an auto accident where they or their passengers have been injured. Many times these same clients are under the mistaken impression that like themselves the person who was driving the car that hit them also had an insurance policy with sufficient liability coverage to cover medical expenses of the persons they collided with. The reality is that, 25% of drivers have only $15,000 in liability coverage, the state minimum, or are uninsured. This is rarely enough to cover our client’s medical bills. It is strongly suggested that you look at your own auto insurance declaration page and speak with your insurance agent to discuss if you have sufficient coverage for underinsured and uninsured motorists. While you’re at it we also recommend adding what is called medical payment or “med pay” to your policy. In the event of a collision where you are injured, med pay is like cash. So when bills come in from medical providers you will instantly have financial resources to respond. It may take time to resolve a personal injury lawsuit so the med pay comes in handy. This is a valuable investment at a minimal cost. As many of you may know, on July 13, 2015 California Governor Brown signed emergency legislation amending certain aspects of California’s Healthy Workplaces, Healthy Families Act of 2014, known as the California Paid Sick Leave Law. The amendments include calculation of pay, method of accrual and record keeping.
