  • Med Pay/Pip Subrogation in All 50 States
    MATTHIESEN, WICKERT & LEHRER, S.C. Hartford, WI ❖ New Orleans, LA ❖ Orange County, CA ❖ Austin, TX ❖ Jacksonville, FL Phone: (800) 637-9176 [email protected] www.mwl-law.com MED PAY/PIP SUBROGATION IN ALL 50 STATES From 1971 to 1976, in an effort to hold down the cost of automobile insurance, 16 states enacted no-fault automobile insurance laws which featured two key components: (1) the compulsory purchase of first-party no-fault coverage for medical benefits and loss of income for drivers and passengers (usually referred to as Personal Injury Protection or PIP benefits); and (2) limited third-party tort liability of negligent drivers. Three other states enacted similar no-fault laws during this time period, without limiting tort liability. Instead of “Med Pay” or “PIP”, some states use other terms, such as “Basic Reparation Benefits”, but the concept is the same. The no-fault experiment has received mixed reviews over the past 30 years. There have been no states since 1976 who have adopted no-fault and several states have completely repealed their no-fault laws. Advocates of no-fault argue that it reduces litigation costs and payment for non-economic (pain and suffering, etc.) damages, and provides faster payment for losses. Opponents argue that no-fault unfairly benefits negligent drivers and point to statistics which show that rather than decreasing insurance premiums, it increases premiums. While PIP benefits are usually associated with “no-fault” automobile insurance, Med Pay benefits usually are not. Although subrogation of these two types of auto insurance benefits has become big business, there is still significant misunderstanding and confusion as to these two types of benefits, and when and under what circumstances they can be subrogated.

  • Magwitch's Revenge on Society in Great Expectations
    Magwitch’s Revenge on Society in Great Expectations Kyoko Yamamoto Introduction By the light of torches, we saw the black Hulk lying out a little way from the mud of the shore, like a wicked Noah’s ark. Cribbed and barred and moored by massive rusty chains, the prison-ship seemed in my young eyes to be ironed like the prisoners (Chapter 5, p.34). The sight of the Hulk is one of the most impressive scenes in Great Expectations. Magwitch, a convict, who was destined to meet Pip at the churchyard, was dragged back by a surgeon and solders to the hulk floating on the Thames. Pip and Joe kept a close watch on it. Magwitch spent some days in his hulk and then was sent to New South Wales as a convict sentenced to life transportation. He decided to work hard and make Pip a gentleman in return for the kindness offered to him by this little boy. He devoted himself to hard work at New South Wales, and eventually made a fortune. Magwitch’s life is full of enigma. We do not know much about how he went through the hardships in the hulk and at NSW. What were his difficulties to make money? And again, could it be possible that a convict transported for life to Australia might succeed in life and come back to his homeland? To make the matter more complicated, he, with his money, wants to make Pip a gentleman, a mere apprentice to a blacksmith, partly as a kind of revenge on society which has continuously looked down upon a wretched convict.

  • Great Expectations: Pip's Moral Journey As a Message for America
    Great Expectations: Pip’s Moral Journey as a Message for America “We spent as much money as we could, and got as little for it as people could make up their minds to give us. There was a gay fiction among us that we were constantly enjoying ourselves, and a skeleton truth that we never did” (340). When Charles Dickens penned these words to describe Pip’s mindset in Great Expectations, he couldn’t have known how they would apply to the world in 2009. But the ideals put forth in Great Expectations are just as poignant and relevant in the midst of the American economic crisis as they were in the 19th century. Pip’s moral journey, from his “great expectations” to his downfall and the reshaping of his values, mirror America’s realization that our own “great expectations” were also based on misguided notions and falsities. Just like Pip, we were so intent on achieving our American Dreams—our “great expectations—that we became completely self-centered and lost sight of what was truly important. Even in today’s radically different social climate, Pip’s story presents a valuable message—that genuine relationships and compassion, not self-indulgence and social status, provide the path to true happiness. Pip’s desire to attain gentility so that he can impress Estella mirrors the recent American path toward self-centeredness and a sense of entitlement. Dickens portrays Pip as motivated by shame, by a desire to impress Estella, even during their first meeting, when Pip cries after she criticizes him as “coarse and common.” Dickens illustrates Pip’s shame of his own commonness and simplicity when he writes: “ …My coarse hands and my common boots…had never troubled me before, but they troubled me now, as vulgar appendages.
