A mother says she’s “horrified” after the body of her 19-year-old daughter was found inside an Illinois hotel’s walk-in freezer — a day after she apparently walked into it drunk, according

Sounds incredible. Civil damages may be sought against the hotel, but it will take a lot of investigation to find out how this happened on her own. The hotel will be able to use the woman’s intoxication as a defense.
If there is one thing you can do to help protect the value of your automobile injury case, then do not delay.
Do not put off going to the emergency room or prompt care at the time of your collision.
Make sure that you schedule your doctor appointment as soon as possible.
Tell your doctor about all your problems and how they are related to the motor vehicle collision.
Do not neglect to schedule follow up appointments.
Make sure that you follow doctor orders.
Remember to explain how you are feeling. Do not exaggerate, but do not under report your pain either. It does no good to tell the doctor you are fine, if you are hurting.
Describe how you are limited as a result of your injuries.
The insurance company is closely reviewing your records to use them against you, and will take things out of context that sound innocent or might not seem a big deal to you.

Family members may sue at fault driver for wrongful death. Most likely in situation like this not much insurance to cover damages. Mother’s insurance may have some coverage for underinsured claim. Sad situation all around.
I have had several calls recently from people injured an automobile collision.
They are similar in that the insurance company for the at fault driver makes a settlement offer soon after the date of injury.
You must understand that when you settle your case and sign a release there will be no more money paid from the insurance company.
This is the situation even if you have some future medical treatment related to the automobile collision.
The reason the insurance company is attempting to pay you money quickly after the collision is to reduce its exposure to any future medical bills.
You must make sure that you done treating before you settle your case.
In auto injury cases medical bills must be paid from the settlement proceeds.
This means that all treatment must be completed and taken into account from the damages paid to you.
It is nice to have money quickly after the accident, however it is not a nice feeling to have some needed medical treatment that must be paid out of your own pocket.
