Injured While Committing A Crime? Insurance May Not Pay

Health insurance is meant to provide funds for people who are hurt in accidents, but what if those accidents occur during the commission of a crime?

Atlanta-based physician and medical journalist Dr. Ford Vox joined Rose Scott and Denis O’Hayer on “A Closer Look” to help make sense of this insurance situation and whether it’s even legal.
