In this radio show segment, Colleen Quinn addresses the topic of automobile liability, including the comparison of Virginia’s contributory negligence (fault) system versus the comparative negligence systems of the majority of states. Colleen also explains the concept of “maximum medical improvement (MMI)” as well as “uninsured motorist insurance coverage” and “negligent entrustment” (when the keys to a vehicle are given to someone that the giver knows will be a dangerous driver). Answers to prevalent automobile liability questions are provided in this segment, as Colleen explains why motorists should be cautious about signing releases following an accident, how worker’s compensation factors into the recovery equation, how liens can effect the amount recovered, how contingent fee contracts with attorneys work, and what information should be brought into Colleen’s office when the injured party decides to come in for their free auto case consultation at Locke & Quinn.
