Raymond Zukaitis was a physician practicing medicine in Douglas County, Nebraska. Aetna issued a policy of professional liabilit

y insurance to Zukaitis through its agent, the Ed Larsen Insurance Agency. The policy covered the period from August 31, 2006, through August of the following year. On August 7, 2008, Dr. Zukaitis received a written notification of a claim for malpractice that occurred on September 27, 2006. Dr. Zukaitis notified the Ed Larsen Insurance Agency immediately and forwarded the written claim to them. The claim was then mistakenly referred to St. Paul Fire and Marine Insurance Company, the company that currently insured Dr. Zukaitis. Apparently without notice to Dr. Zukaitis, the agency contract between Larsen and Aetna had been canceled on August 1, 2007, and St. Paul had replaced Aetna as the insurancecarrier. However, when St. Paul discovered it was not the carrier on the date of the alleged wrongdoing, it notified Aetna and withdrew from Dr. Zukaitis's defense. Aetna also refused to represent Dr. Zukaitis, contending that it was relieved of its obligations to Dr. Z because he had not notified Aetna immediately of the claim. Dr. Z then secured his own attorney to defend against the malpractice claim and brought an action against Aetna to recover attorneys' fees and other expenses incurred in the defense. Should Dr. Z recover? Explain.

Answer: The physician is being sued. Insurance company should provide an attorney. If the doctor is negligent, insurance company should pay (that's why we have premiums). Dr. Z is sued, goes to agency, and notifies the agency. The agency doesn't notify Aetna in right amount of time, and also notifies the wrong company. Aetna doesn't have a liability because they were not notified in a timely manner. Larson is agent to Aetna. A principal's notice to agent=notice to principal. That's the same as notifying Aetna according to its claims procedure. This is not Dr.Z's problem. Aetna is wrong in denying coverage, and Dr.Z will succeed and not have to pay.

In your own words, answer the following questions about the amendment process.
Tatiana [17]

Answer: in our country, any proposal to amend the Constitution is idle because it’s effectively impossible….The Founders made the amendment process difficult because they wanted to lock in the political deals that made ratification of the Constitution possible. Moreover, they recognized that, for a government to function well, the ground rules should be stable. But they also understood that the people will need to change those ground rules as new challenges and problems surface with the passage of time….But the Founders blundered. They made passing an amendment too hard….In setting the bar so high, the Framers didn’t foresee that as the country became more populous and diverse, it would become harder for people to reach the near-consensus required for change.”

gayaneshka [121]

Answer:

Subscription to the "Journal of Taxation" for a tax attorney

Explanation:

Dues and subscriptions are professional expenses. They are tax-deductible subject to the 2% Adjusted Gross Income.

Professional subscriptions refer to any fees that the person may have to pay to get his business or profession registered with a "governing body" for which a license is required.

One cannot claim tax back on professional fees and subscriptions.

Subscription to the "Journal of Taxation" for a tax attorney is deductible as dues, subscriptions, or publications.

As a member of LGBTQ+, I am constantly fighting this *cracks knuckles* here we go, bigots >:3

~

As a member of the LGBTQ+ community, it is my job and duty to say that we endure too much. Some of us have never come out in fear of rejection. Some of us have been murdered or r*aped due to us revealing our true identities. Many people have the support of parents, family, and friends. And just as many,<em> possibly even more</em>, do not. Some people may not go out with their partners in fear of being assaulted, slurred at, or having a Bible thrown at them. This is is not, never was, and never will be a choice. So just <em>why?</em> Why hate on those like you? Why hate on those who have quotidian lives just like you; people who have families just like you, people who need to shower, and eat and drink just like you?

If you believe in basic human rights, in people not being attacked by acquaintances, join me and many others in the fight for LGBTQ+ rights.

sorry if it's too short; I spent <em>a lot</em> of time on this. just pls give credit UwU and may I have Brainliest? thank you :)

How can interest groups shape legislation?
DanielleElmas [232]

Answer:

If you mean by political parties then legislation will be made according to their beliefs.

Explanation:

For example, Democrats tend to be more liberal in their pieces of legislation like the Affordable Care Act passed under Obama's administration which focused on expanding healthcare. Whereas, Republicans tend to be more conservative like favoring tax breaks for the citizens of America. If this helps please rank Brainliest. Thank you!
