Accident Victims Protection
KENTUCKY...
A Kentucky House committee has approved a bill aimed at preventing health-care providers from soliciting auto accident victims within 30 days of being injured. The bill easily cleared the House Banking and Insurance Committee on Wednesday. The proposal would also apply to anyone soliciting accident victims on behalf of health-care professionals within 30 days of an accident. Violators would be guilty of a misdemeanor punishable by up to a year in jail. The legislation is House Bill 282.
