Get Your Medical Bills to Your Lawyer

Medical Bills, Medical Bills, Medical Bills

Make Sure You Keep Your Lawyer Informed

 

November 22, 2006

 

            Personal injury accident victims are often unaware that their ambulance trip and visit to the local trauma center can result in receiving medical bills from several different entities.  It is common that the local fire and rescue squad will bill you and that you will also receive medical bills from the hospital and the specialist doctors who examined or consulted on your case.  Emergency physicians charge for their services and radiologists bill for reading the X-rays, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), CT Scans.   In more serious cases, anesthesiologists, orthopedists, neurologists, neurosurgeons, cosmetic/reconstructive surgeons or even other specialists like vascular surgeons, cardiologists or others may also have performed services. 

             When you receive medical bills, whether it is from the initial ambulance ride all the way to the time you are released from treatment, please make sure that you alert your personal injury lawyer and send him or her the bills.   At Kelley & Lehan law firm, we itemize those bills and order the medical records that were created as a part of the treatment.   This is an important process to begin the documentation of the injuries, damages and losses that form the basis of your eligibility to receive compensation from the insurance company that is responsible for paying the settlement or verdict for the person or company that is responsible for causing your injuries.    But, if you don't share your medical bills with your lawyer, you may not receive full and fair settlement payment for your losses.
