How much is my case worth?
The monetary value of each case is dependent on a variety of factors including the severity of the injuries sustained, the medical treatment received and the severity of the residual injuries and disability. Because each case is unique, we are unable to provide an accurate estimate of a case value without reviewing the particular circumstances of your accident and injury.
How long will my case take?
The length of time for each individual case is dependent on a variety of factors including the severity of the injuries sustained, the availability of medical treatment, and the insurance carrier involved. Because each case is unique, we are unable to provide an accurate estimate of time without reviewing the particular circumstances of your injury.
Who pays the medical bills when I am injured?
In a work related accident, the employer’s workers’ compensation insurance company is responsible for all medical bills incurred for treatment related to the accident. The injured worker has no responsibility to pay any of the medical bills properly incurred for treatment. The cost for your medical treatment is not deducted from your eventual settlement.
In a personal injury accident, the reasonable value of medical bills will be paid by the responsible party at the conclusion of the case. If you have private medical insurance, it is important to seek immediate medical attention through your personal doctor. If you are uninsured, we have a network of physicians who are willing to provide medical treatment on a lien – that is that the physician will provide treatment to you yet defer receiving payment until the conclusion of your case.
