The Legacy of Karen
Ross Crossley
Throughout her thirty
years of dedicated

and fellow employees.

played an important
role in the mentoring of
employee who is pursuing
continuing education in
a medically-related field
while demonstr ating the

A Pe rsonal Injur y Law Fir m
ALERT - NO-FAULT BENEFITS UNDER ATTACK
• If you have been injured in an auto
accident, New York State Law requires the
insurance carrier for the vehicle you were in
to cover your related medical expenses and
any lost wages (Insurance Law Section 5103).
• Recently, many insurance carriers are
attempting to avoid this legal duty by paying
biased doctors, often from outside the area,
to support them in cutting off these
important benefits.
CAMPBELL & SHELTON LLP has taken the following steps to protect our clients:
• We will send an investigator to any suspicious exams and videotape the physician.
• We will sue any insurance carrier who denies our clients their benefits without a valid
basis (we recently obtained a judgment against Allstate for a client’s unpaid benefits,
costs and interest).
For these and many other reasons, if you are injured in an automobile accident you
need experienced and capable legal representation as soon as possible.
