In our practice, we regularly see clients who have been involved in car or truck accidents while occupying their employers' vehicle. Most people are confused about who is responsible for providing for their medical care and their rights of recovery. In some ways, it is analogous to having two separate claims running on parallel tracks, although the rights of recovery do not overlap. Many times choosing the best way to proceed is determined on a case-by-case basis. I'll point out some of the issues that must be considered.

I will assume for the purposes of this discussion that the other party was at fault in the accident. These accidents bring in to play the rights provided under Florida's Workers Compensation statute, Florida no-fault statute, as well as general principles of tort law which provides a right of recovery for damages against the party responsible for causing the accident. We'll only be discussing work comp and no-fault issues in this article.

When someone has been injured on the job, including injuries suffered in motor vehicle accidents occurring on the job, they have the rights provided for them under the worker's compensation statute. This article is not designed to explain all the rights existing under these various statutes. However, certain employers are required to provide Workers Compensation benefits to their employees. When these benefits are available, they generally provide coverage for medical care, as well as certain wage loss benefits, all of which are defined under the statute. An employee involved in the accident example we are considering would have the right to allow workers compensation to provide for their medical care, as well as any wage loss benefits they suffered if they were off work because of the injuries suffered in the accident. However, they are not required to use workers compensation.

One of the advantages of using workers compensation is that the total amount of medical care benefits are, potentially, far greater than what would be provided under the Florida no-fault statute. That is because the medical cost benefits are not capped in terms of what expenses may be incurred and they may be available over a much longer term of years in the most serious injury cases. In the less serious injury cases, these advantages must be weighed against some inherent disadvantages of using workers compensation. Those disadvantages include the fact that the workers compensation carrier has a right to control which doctors may treat the injured worker. No unauthorized treating physician is allowed to be reimbursed. Many workers find this to be a very frustrating disadvantage. Additionally, any medical expenses workers compensation pays must reimbursed to them from any settlement the injured worker receives from the responsible driver's insurance company. Many workers who've been involved in the workers compensation system for any length of time often express great frustration in how the system operates. For many of the most seriously injured clients however, there may be no practical alternative.

If the person in our example owns a motor vehicle insured with Florida's no-fault coverage, those no-fault benefits would be available to pay the medical expenses they incur from the accident. Our worker could choose to use no-fault benefits instead of work comp. No fault pays 80% of your medical expenses and/or 60% of wage loss up to a total of $10,000. It is generally not subject to a claim for reimbursement from the accident settlement. No preapproval for medical treatment need be obtained. There is no requirement that no-fault or workers compensation comp has priority over one another. It's generally up to the injured worker to decide which benefits they wish to pursue. Should our worker choose to treat under workers compensation, their no-fault benefits could be used as an offset against any right of reimbursement the workers compensation carrier may have from the settlement of their injury claim.

Of course, the circumstances of someone's specific accident, as well as the severity of their injury, are very important factors that they should discuss with their attorney before deciding whether they would be best served requesting workers compensation benefits or no-fault benefits to pay for their medical care and lost wages.

We've all done it. Maybe we're talking on our cell, punching out a text or searching our MP3 player for the right song. Maybe we're daydreaming, lost in thought or even relatively focused. We reach for the door and push, only to be stopped hard in our tracks. Confused, we pull on the handle to no avail. Most of us will push again. Then, usually in small lettering, we read, "please use other door." More often than not, the "other door" is directly adjacent, part of the French-door-styled ensemble popularly used as entrances.

Some of these doors don't even give us the courtesy of the "please use other door" sign. Sure, signage will instruct in two or three languages that we must pull or push. There's a blaring "open" sign or some poster about beer specials. There might even be business hours hanging from a suction cup on the inside, but, alas, nothing that tells us which door they want us to use. Experienced with doors, we usually figure it out. We find the unlocked door as easily as a trained rat finds the cheese in some cardboard maze, complete with scientists hovering over with white lab coats, clipboards and smug smirks.

What's amazing is these doors continually get built day after day with no obvious purpose. Sure, there are hinges and handles. They are doors and yet, for whatever reason, building owners want only one out of two possible ports to actually work as a door. It's as if they want to funnel their customers in like oil into an engine, careful not to spill a single drop.

Logically, architects and engineers would by now understand that the double door system is not very cost effective. The price of a door is much higher than the cost of a wall and, to top it off, the amount of energy loss through a door is astronomical in comparison to a solid, insulated wall. So the only possible explanation to this rash of locked doors is undoubtedly based in some experiment. Scientists are hiding behind hidden camera with white lab coats, clipboards and smug smirks. It's probably some sort of test to judge human patience or problem solving abilities. One thing's for sure, they laugh every time we're stopped in our tracks.

History is in the making as candidates duke their way to the finish line of the 2008 presidential elections and although all three contenders have the potential of setting some ground breaking "firsts," they will certainly have trouble catching up to the nation's record setting 27th president – the fattest in U.S. history.

Between Senator Barack Obama's hope to be the first black president and Senator Hillary Clinton's attempt to be the first female president, American voters are biting their nails in anticipation of the upcoming November elections. The two democratic front-runners aren't the only candidates with a potential record-setting agenda. Senator John McCain, the republican contender, could just as easily end up in the captain's chair at the oval office. He certainly wouldn't be the first rich white guy in the driver's seat, but his wife would go down in history as the first first lady with a criminal record for her involvement with pain killers, theft and fraud.

Although potential candidates are poised to set symbolic trend-setting records, they may have trouble committing as many "firsts" as William Howard Taft. At 332 pounds, he overcame the stigma that, even in 1909, came with being overweight. Growing up in Ohio, he was often chastised for his size. His nickname in high school was "Big Lub." He overcame the societal pressure and went onto become president in 1913.

Taft only served one term as president but his list of "firsts" is seemingly endless. While in office, he was the first and only president to get stuck in a White House bathtub. Later, he was the first president to install extra large bathtubs in the White House. He was the first and only president to serve as Chief Justice of the Supreme Court. He was the first president to throw the first baseball of the season. He was the first president to own a car. He was the first president to be considered a pacifist for his strong beliefs in world peace and his funeral was the first to be broadcast on radio. The list goes on. He even has some "lasts." Taft was the last president to have facial hair and, because he loved fresh milk so much, he was the last president to keep a cow on the White House lawn.

Everybody knows Peter Griffin and Homer Simpson have a lot in common, ranging from their unyielding appetites, round bellies and, above all, incompetence. In fact, sometimes the list of detailed similarities borders on the absurd. Besides arguing about which show is better, rival fans have long debated on which program is stealing scripts and ideas. Given that Homer was born first, it's hard to deny he's the original fat, dumb dad. However, there is a vast difference between Homer of the past and Homer of the present. It seems these two have fused together, meeting the demands of the nation. Here are three absurd similarities:

1.) Same Work History: Although Homer Simpson has always managed to hold onto his position as Safety Inspector of Sector 7-G at the Springfield Nuclear Power Plant, he has also had a long history of money making schemes and temporary jobs that go beyond his shift at the radiation factory. Peter also has a spotty history of money making schemes and odd jobs but, of his many positions at the Happy-Go-Lucky Toy Factory, his most consistent was his title as Safety Inspector.

2.) Nearly the Same IQ: Sure, everybody knows Homer and Peter are dolts but not everyone realizes their IQ's are nearly equal. Arguably Peter is dumber than Homer because Homer actually has an IQ score where as, according to doctors, Peter is immeasurably stupid. When doctors tried to rate Peter's intelligence, they discovered he was lower than the chart allows. He was designated "Petarded." Homer is inherently stupid thanks to the "Simpson Gene," but other factors, including ceaseless head trauma and exposure to radiation, are a major component. In fact, Homer's low intelligence is mostly due to a crayon lodged in his frontal lobe (reducing his IQ by 50 points). The reality is both Peter and Homer hover around brain dead. The fact that their cartoon hearts continue to pump is amazing.

3.) Names Arguably Rooted in Fiction: In human history, Homer is an ancient Greek epic poet that may have written the Iliad and the Odyssey. Many modern scholars, however, are skeptical that the poet ever actually existed and, through scrupulous research, it has become evident that the two famous poems were actually handed down through the ages via verbal lore. The Apostle Peter, also known as Saint Peter, not only broke bread with Jesus, but also went on to establish churches and spread the word of God – a story that has been handed down for over 2,000 years. Like the allegedly fictitious poet named Homer, many modern scholars argue that religion is fiction.

Drew Carey, the famous stand-up comedian turned actor and game show host, proposed to his fiancé back in October of 2007 and now, eight months later, fans are still waiting for a set wedding date – a wedding seemingly made for a the fat performer.

Carey, who has worked his way up through the celebrity ranks since retiring from the Marines more than two decades ago, has been getting overwhelmingly positive reviews after taking Bob Barker's post on the Price is Right and the show, despite being a dinosaur in television years, has managed to climb in ratings. Now, with his post as host locked down, fans ask: "Will Drew Carey and Nicole Jaracz finally tie the knot this summer?"

Carey, who is deemed overweight and obese by some critic circles, has managed to fend off the societal stigma against fat people while at the same time gaining a reputation for his ability to mow through giant dinner portions. That insatiable appetite may meet its match with his bride-to-be. Jaracz has said, "the fastest way to a man's heart is through his stomach." Coincidently, she is a trained and practiced chef who recently graduated from culinary school. Friends close to the couple have said the young cook thinks Carey is a dream come true and she finds him irresistibly handsome. She has long thought that fat is beautiful.

There has been much speculation on the two lovebirds and their unreleased wedding plans, as 50-year-old Carey, who has worked in both movies and television, grows in fame. One thing is for certain, say insiders, the food served at the reception will be "out of this world" and the cake will be "unbelievably good." In a statement regarding the engagement, publicist Christina Papadopoulos wrote, "It will be the first marriage for both. No date for a wedding has been set yet. They are both very happy and excited about their future together."
