WHAT IF THE INSURANCE COMPANY WANTS ME TO SETTLE?

It's recommended that you do not settle your case before a thorough evaluation by our office. If you settle before your injury is fully diagnosed and treated, you will be responsible for any medical bills you incur in the future.
Our office will work directly with insurance companies to assure that your claim will be effectively documented during your treatment.
  We also bill the insurance directly to help reduce the burden on your part.  It is important that you do not cash any checks that the insurance sends to your home.  In many cases, this will release them from any further liability in your care and you will be personally responsible for your medical bills.  If the insurance company is rushing you to settle then they are trying to reduce their liabilities and may leave you with all the bills.  This could ruin your credit if you have medical bills that are unpaid.  In these cases we can help you find a reputable attorney to help protect you from the insurance companies.
