Typically, the negligent medical providers' malpractice carrier will reimburse the client for all medical expenses related to the lawsuit. During the time in which the lawsuit is pending, the patient can provide their attorneys with copies of the bills they receive that are not covered by their health insurance. As your lawyers, we can also inform your medical providers that the bill will be paid for from any proceeds recovered from litigation or settlement. This is a way to prevent the patient from receiving notices from the provider about overdue bills or having the unpaid bills affect their credit. Of course, it is always recommended that the patient pay any bills if they are able, and to expect reimbursement for those out-of-pocket expenses from their settlement proceeds.

If the provider was negligent in the care or treatment being rendered and “breached the standard of care,” we must then prove that their negligence caused the permanent and severe injuries that resulted. As such, we must show that the patient was significantly harmed by the provider’s substandard conduct. This is oftentimes difficult to prove and that is why we employ top-notch medical experts from all over the country to assist in medical record review, literature searches, independent patient examinations, and in providing medical testimony based on their vast experience, knowledge and training.
