Letter of Protection

If you have been in an accident or suffered some type of injury, you have enough to worry about without wondering how you will pay for medical care. Unfortunately, the damage caused by an accident can lead to financial complications as well as medical complications. Many insurance carriers expect the victim of an accident to pay for medical care and then submit medical bills for reimbursement along with the records of any other expenses related to the accident. Medical care providers also expect payment up front. This arrangement becomes especially problematic if treatment extends over several months or years. This means a patient can be expected to pay hundreds or thousands of dollars for medical care before receiving any compensation for the accident. However, if you have been injured in an accident and you have a legal claim against the person who caused the accident, your lawyer can take steps to pursue your claim and ensure that your medical bills are paid.
