MEDICAL REDUCTIONS
We will submit requests for reductions on outstanding medical balances. Reductions must be completed prior to the release of settlement funds.
*Timeframes may vary based on providers' response time.
SETTLEMENT
We will contact you to schedule a time for you to come into the office to review your settlement statement, sign any necessary paperwork, and pick up your check. We look forward to seeing you.
WHAT ABOUT MY CAR?
ONCE the insurance company has accepted responsibility (liability), the adjuster will reach out to the vehicle owner directly to discuss rental and repairs or payout for the value of the vehicle.
*TIMEFRAMES MAY VARY
INVESTIGATION
During the investigation phase, our office will be:
1. Gathering evidence such as police reports, witness statements, video footage, etc. 2. Notifying all insurance companies of representation and obtaining coverage details. 3. Obtaining insurance decision regarding responsibility for the accident (liability). *The length of the liability investigation varies depending on the facts of the accident and cooperation of involved parties and witnesses.

MISSED MEDICAL APPOINTMENT?
• Repeatedly missing appointments will negatively affect the outcome of your case. • Solution: Reschedule appointment and inform case manager/attorney. • Transportation issues? Inform case manager/attorney as soon as possible.
INVESTIGATION
During the investigation phase, our office will be:
1. Gathering evidence such as police reports, witness statements, video footage, etc. 2. Notifying all insurance companies of representation and obtaining coverage details. 3. Obtaining insurance decision regarding liability and coverage.
DEMAND
With the medical records and bills that have been received, we will prepare a demand letter that describes the facts of the accident and your injuries, treatment, pain and suffering, and loss of wages (if applicable). We will ask the insurance company to pay out a certain amount in compensation for your claim in the demand letter.
Please be advised that the at-fault insurance carrier is allowed 30 days upon receipt to review and respond, whereas the under/uninsured insurance carrier is allowed 60 days upon receipt to review and respond.
IMPORTANCE OF MEDICAL TREATMENT
Not only is receiving treatment the right thing to do for your health, but if you do not obtain treatment for some time following your accident, the insurance adjuster and jury will assume that you are not hurt. Thus, if you are still experiencing pain, it is imperative you receive consistent care.
RECORDS RETRIEVAL
At this time, we are gathering your entire medical records and bills from all providers. This process can take anywhere from *30-90 days.
*Timeframes may vary based upon providers' processing time.
