No matter what kind of accident or injury, Arthur Law Firm has a 10-step proven process to help you.
1. Injury Occurs
During the first step when the injury occurs, emergency services will respond and medical treatment will begin. If possible, witnesses should be contacted and photos obtained.
2. Follow Through with Medical Treatment
After your injury, follow through with all recommended medical treatment, document all symptoms during the healing process, and get referrals to specialists if necessary.
3. Property Damage Claim Resolved
In this stage you will contact insurance adjusters about the claim, secure estimates for repair, and secure a rental vehicle. Continue to document the process and costs.
4. Medical Bills Addressed
Determine whether to process bills through medical insurance, auto insurance, or Medicare/Medicaid. You will be responsible for all accruing medical bills until determined otherwise. If necessary, issue Promise to Pay letters.
5. Completion of Medical Treatment
You will finish your treatment and recover from your injuries. By taking the time to heal before submitting your claim, you will be able to determine what your true injuries and damages are. If you attempt to settle too soon, you may find other injuries arise that you will not be able to seek additional compensation for.
6. Order Medical Bills and Records
This is the step where you make sure your attorney has access to all your medical records, medical bills, and lost wage information. When you release all this information to your attorney, your attorney can analyze, review, and follow up on all the information, which is necessary to put together a proposed settlement.
7. Demand Letter for Settlement
Your attorney will put together a demand letter with the total compensation you are seeking. Your attorney will calculate all the damages incurred, including your medical bills, the severity of your injuries, any future care needs, and the amount of missed wages. Pain and suffering can also be calculated into this amount.
8. Lien Resolution
After your claim is settled, various entities will need to be reimbursed. Subrogation is the legal principle that requires reimbursement for anyone who paid medical bills or other benefits on your behalf. If your health insurance paid for your medical treatment and you receive a settlement that includes medical bills, you will reimburse your insurance company. Your attorney will help you through the subrogation claims.
9. Settle or File Suit
The process of settling your claim or filing your suit can take several months, depending on your injuries and the complexity of your case. It’s important to be within the Statute of Limitations (2 years in Ohio), and your attorney can help you negotiate your settlement, or, if necessary, file the suit to collect damages.
10. Case Resolved
When your settlement is resolved, either through negotiation or a ruling in court, you will receive damages. You will receive an amount, and then distribution will be made to your attorneys and any lien holders.
