Medical Bill Expenses

If you’ve been injured in an accident, there are a number of ways your medical bills will get paid. One is, of course, through your own insurance company. Another might be through some governmental agency or governmental aid program. Another might well be through what is commonly referred to as an LOP or letter of protection. The most important thing regarding the payment of these medical bills, is get an attorney and have that attorney assist you in navigating your way through making sure these bills get paid, or that you at least have an agreement with the medical provider.

Experts Investigating A Motorcycle Accident

It is critical to have qualified experts to establish both liability and damages in a motorcycle accident case. We’ve had cases where there have been four or five witnesses that have observed a motorcycle accident, and invariably two years, three years later when you’re taking their depositions, they have completely inconsistent versions of what happened even though they all witnessed the same exact crash. So it’s important to have qualified, reputable experts that can talk to a jury about liability issues and can reconstruct the accident. Also, in motorcycle accident cases, you’re typically dealing with death or at least with catastrophic injuries. When you represent a motorcycle accident victim who has had catastrophic injuries, it’s important to have qualified medical experts that cannot only talk about current injuries but also assess future needs and future medical care required to treat what are oftentimes catastrophic injuries.

Assault Litigation

Hi, I’m Julia McGrath, an attorney here at the Dolman Law Group. If you’ve been assaulted outside a bar or restaurant or a night club, people think, “What do I do? What do I need to do?” First things first, you need to contact law enforcement. There has to be a police report evidencing the injuries you sustained.

Steps to Successful Litigation

Next, it’s important to notify the manager of the establishment or anyone else in a position of authority. Not just notify them, but make them take down an incident report. Memorialize what’s happened to you in your story. Then ask for a copy of it, or write down the statement that you gave to that business. It’s also important to document the injuries that you sustained. Take photographs. Most of the time people have a camera on a their cell phone. If you don’t have your cell phone on you, ask to borrow one. If you have a phone that has video capability, absolutely utilize it and take videos of the scene of your injuries, of any witnesses in order to preserve the condition of where you were and what happened to you at the time that it happened. This is imperative evidence moving forward in order to succeed on your claim.

Just your damages are reduced by the amount that is determined to be your share of fault. It’s important in a pedestrian accident case that you have attorneys that know how to handle those cases because you are always going to be blamed in a pedestrian accident case for causing your injuries, and it’s important that you have reputable attorneys that have handled pedestrian accident cases to assess comparative fault issues in a pedestrian accident case.
