Medical Bills Defendant issued payment to for treatment through January 2017. The majority of Plaintiff’s claim for medical payment has already been paid. Wage Loss Five days prior to the accident, Mr. Brown sought treatment at Henry Ford for back pain. During his treatment, Mr. Brown noted that the back pain caused him to miss work. Mr. Brown was already missing work as the result of his pre-existing chronic back pain. Mr. Brown used the motor vehicle accident as an opportunity to take a few months off work. Mr. Brown returned to work on April 6, 2016. See Exhibit C. Replacement Services Mr. Brown claims that his ex-girlfriend Alicia Thomas provided replacement services despite the fact that Mr. Brown was in a relationship with former …show more content…
Brown was able to return to work in April of 2016 but yet claims to have still required replacement services. Mr. Brown works in a physical demanding job, if he were to return to work, he would likely be able to do his own laundry and cook his own food. This is another example of Mr. Brown’s dishonest behavior. UTILIZATION REVIEW BY DR. RIUTTA Dr. Riutta (Exhibit G) Dr. Riutta issued an opinion that Mr. Brown may have sustained cervical and thoracic strains, which were self-limiting conditions. Dr. Riutta believed that six weeks of physical therapy would be appropriate, but no treatment beyond that point was indicated. Dr. Riutta noted that the six-week time period is supported by Mr. Brown’s urinalysis done six weeks after the accident showing that Mr. Brown was no longer taking prescription medications by that time. No other treatment was indicated, especially the MRI studies. Dr. Riutta believes that the right shoulder SLAP tear is unrelated to this MVA. Dr. Riutta also felt that Mr. Brown may have needed assistance with heavy household chores such as heavy lifting, heavy yard work, and trash removal for a six week period after the accident, and likely for only two to three days per week. Dr. Riutta saw no need for attendant care. Mr. Brown should have been at pre-accident status as of 12/13/15.
On the morning of the 17th of May 2005, Nola Walker was involved in a two vehicle motor accident. She had just dropped her son off at his new job, when she ignored a give way sign at an intersection. When the ambulance arrived the officers, Nucifora and Blake, recall Walker being “able to converse” and “orientated”. Blake conducted multiple assessments and did her vital signs twice. The results deemed Walker to be within normal ranges, with the only noticeable trauma involving superficial skin injuries on the left hand, an abrasion over the right clavicle which was assumed to be a seatbelt injury. Ms Walker denied she was ever in pain. Nucifora mentioned on several occasions that it would be best to take Walker to the hospital to be further

Richard Arzu underwent a surgical procedure to correct a condition he was born with; known as dwarfism. He became paralyzed from the waist down as a result of the operation. Through legal representatives, Richard was awarded a substantial structured settlement from his malpractice action against the hospital that performed the said surgical procedure.

Imagine, if you can, an income drop from thirty thousand a year to less than ten thousand a year. This is calls for a colossal change in the way a person lives. What to sacrifice and what to consider as essential, becomes the main point of decision-making. The catalyst of this injury grew from pushing the body past the limit of physical readiness. This injury started a journey that is still in progress. Decisions, even small ones can bring about unexpected results. Look at how some decisions affected others and the results that came from them.
In order to critically assess the approach of the courts in allowing damages for pure economic loss in cases of negligence. One must first outline what pure economic loss is and what it consists off. Pure economic loss can be defined as financial loss or damage to one party caused by another party due to their negligence however the negligent act that is carried out is ‘purely’ economic and has no relation to any physical damage caused to any person or property. Numerous cases illustrate pure economic loss and losses that are deemed to be ‘purely economic’ are demonstrated under the Accidents Act 1976.
The current patient may be experiencing a range of traumatic injuries after his accident, the injuries that the paramedic will focus on are those that are most life threatening.

Where compensation takes the form of a monetary award, it adequately satisfies the plaintiff for any financial harm caused . For example...
Job costing involves usage of situations where every job is done cost differently, consumers specifications play a bigger picture in this case. Direct and indirect costs are encountered. It is believed that job costing has lots of costs accrued from the production to the consumers (REEVE, J. M., WARREN, C. S., & DUCHAC, J. E. 2012). This involves labor, running of machines, and all the individuals who are involved in the production of a product from raw to the final product, indirect costs are applied in this order. Job costing order is best showcased in a manufacturing company, let’s take coca cola company, company specialized in beverages manufacturing and distribution, usually customers have no say in the final products of this company, but as the trends for consumption of a certain flavor, according to their statistics they will conform with the demands. The special requirements, like name branding on the bottles of the beverages, customization of the containers have had a significant impact in the consumption of coca cola products (Weygandt, J. J., Kieso, D. E., & Kimmel, P. D. 2010).
What if one had to work long hours, with countless hours of no sleep, a stress level that was skyrocketing, earning money that could barely support a family? There is a woman approximately the age of forty working full time at a restaurant. Her hands were wrinkled from washing dishes in bleach water. A few white hairs have grown under her thick, black hair. Dark bags are under her eyes, which seems as though she does not get much sleep. This is how the average low working employees suffer! Many people are stuck in this crisis. Behind this woman the truth has not yet been seen, but these truths will soon be revealed. The forty year old woman comes home with a backache and eventually when her conditions get worse she would have to go see a doctor. However, there is one problem: she does not have medical insurance and she cannot afford to go see a doctor when she is already behind with her bills and rent. She has enough stress at home and she works hard to make ends meet, but it is not enough. Low wage jobs negatively affect the physical and psychological state of the working poor.
