Some drivers don't have insurance. Yes, even in states where motorists are required to carry a minimum collision policy - it happens. And if you're reading this, you may be one of the unlucky many to be hit by an uninsured driver. Not so good for you.

But don't worry, you're not completely without recourse. If you've been hit by an uninsured driver or an underinsured driver, you may still be able to get your insurance company or the other party to pay your bills. But to get to that point, you've got to do the following:

A former Florida man who had his penis amputated is suing for medical malpractice.

Enrique Milla claims he went to doctors for elective penile implant surgery. The procedure was to correct his erectile dysfunction, NBC Miami reports. But it took a turn for the worse and his penis was removed. He accuses the anesthesiologist, Dr. Laurentiu Boeru, of failing to postpone the surgery.

So how and why did his penis end up getting cut off?

New York City has agreed to pay Michael Warren and his wife Evelyn $360,000 to settle accusations of police brutality and wrongful arrest. The couple, both civil rights attorneys, alleged they were assaulted when they tried to help a man they say was being beaten by police officers.

The settlement was announced on Monday, just hours before the civil trial was set to begin. Jonathan Moore, a Manhattan injury attorney specializing in governmental misconduct, represented the couple. He believes the settlement represents an "acknowledgement of misconduct."

Did you buy a pair of Skechers Shape-up toning shoes? If so, get ready for a refund.

The shoe company has agreed to a settlement with the Federal Trade Commission, which accused the company of making false claims about its Resistance Runner, Toners and Tone-up shoes. The company claimed, with the help of Kim Kardashian, that wearing the convex-soled shoes would help people lose weight and strengthen muscles better than normal fitness shoes.

They don't. And for that, consumers will get a nice chunk of the $40 million Skechers settlement.

If your city is being forced to make cutbacks, it may be choosing to cut back on your safety. And as evidenced by the number of tree fall injuries in recent years, New York City, it seems, is doing just that.

In the last 10 years, there have been 10 lawsuits in New York City stemming from fallen trees. A detailed look at the city's budget shows a decrease in the number of man hours spent inspecting, repairing and pruning city trees.

This situation isn't unique to the Big Apple. There have been other recent tree fall injuries in Florida and Oregon.

When Washington resident Mica Craig headed to the Clarkston Walmart on Friday, he was only looking to pick up some mulch for his medical marijuana growing business. Unfortunately, he also ended up leaving with a rattlesnake bite.

The 47-year-old was out in the parking lot garden center when he came upon the Walmart rattlesnake, according to KIRO radio. He bent down to pick up a stick, but when that stick bit his hand, he realized it was a snake. He then started "screaming bloody murder."

The Banzai Splash inflatable slide is being recalled after reports of severe injuries and one death. Lawsuits are likely, as the federal agency that oversees recalls points to an alleged defect.

The inflatable slide recall affects 21,000 Banzai Splash slides, which were made by Manley Toys and sold nationwide at Walmart and Toys "R" Us between January 2005 and June 2009, according to the Consumer Product Safety Commission.

When the inflatable slide is hooked up to a garden hose, it becomes a water slide that's meant to propel users into an in-ground swimming pool. But the slide can deflate, and has caused very serious injuries, the CPSC said in its recall alert.

Crew members on a Princess Cruise Lines ship violated maritime law by failing to rescue three stranded fishermen -- two of whom later died at sea, a lawsuit by the surviving fisherman claims.

Adrian Vasquez, 18, of Panama, is suing Princess Cruise Lines for negligence, along with intentional or reckless omission by its crew, UK's The Guardian reports.

Sightseers on board a Princess cruise spotted the three stranded fishermen frantically waving for help and alerted Princess crew members, Vazquez's lawsuit asserts. But the cruise ship did not stop, nor did the crew take any action to help, the suit claims.

What would you do if you were jailed for your twin's crime? Sue? That's what Mitch Torbett of Signal Mountain, Tenn. is doing. And he probably won't win.

Torbett was recently arrested while applying for a local construction permit. When authorities ran his driver's license, they realized he had a federal warrant out for his arrest. He tried to explain that the warrant was really for his identical twin brother, Mike, who has been dead for two years.

He spent 36 hours in jail until the FBI cleared things up.

Just days after opening arguments, the families of two tourists killed in the 2010 Philadelphia Ride the Ducks boat crash have agreed to settle their wrongful death suit for $15 million. The Ride the Ducks settlement also includes $2 million to be split between 18 other people who were injured.

The monies will be paid by Ride the Ducks and K-Sea Transportation Partners, which is responsible for the barge that struck the tourist boat. K-Sea's first mate had been on his cell phone and laptop during the crash and was unable to see the duck boat, which had been improperly stopped in the middle of the river.
