The most important job for the attorney to do is to be sure that you receive health care for your injuries and to maintain contact with the health care providers to understand the seriousness of the injury as well as the medical bills being incurred. Further, the lawyer will help process the medical bills and lost wages to be sure that they are paid under the statutory provisions of the “No Fault” law and will pursue payment of any overdue or reduced medical bills. As part of the service under the contingency fee agreement, the attorney will monitor the injured party’s health care and as soon as the injured person has reached their maximum medical plateau the attorney will be able to evaluate the case and make a demand on the “at fault” party’s insurance carrier. This process can take from several months to a year or two and the injured person must be aware that each claim is evaluated on an individual basis and that no two claims are exactly alike. Many different factors go into the evaluation of an injury claim and the attorney is in the best position from an experience level to know the value of the case and to keep the client informed of all matters concerning evaluation and settlement or trial.
