Medical Bill Reductions Can Increase Client’s Personal Injury Recoveries
The Atlanta personal injury attorneys at The Griffin Law Firm, have been very successful in negotiating reductions on the medical expenses for our clients when appropriate. These reductions are often appropriate and much more likely if there is a small personal injury settlement due to weaknesses in the case. On cases where litigation is not a good option, we negotiate reductions in medical bills and negotiate reductions in subrogation claims to maximize our client’s recovery. Litigation is sometimes not a good option when there are weaknesses in the case such as pre-existing conditions, multiple prior personal injury claims, low property damage, gaps in medical treatment, disputes in liability (who is at fault), etc. The Atlanta personal injury lawyers at The Griffin Law Firm do our best to maximize our client’s net recoveries whenever possible. Many times this is accomplished by negotiate reductions in the medical bills for our client.
One of Attorney Richard Griffin's favorite examples involved a personal injury client who had medical expenses of approximately $400,000. The client was injured when a stolen car collided with her head on causing a fractured pelvis, broken hip, and other serious and permanent injuries. Unfortunately the criminal who stole the car did not have any automobile insurance and the liability automobile insurance for the car that was stolen did not cover the negligent driving of a criminal. The only insurance which covered the claim was a $25,000 Uninsured Motorist policy the client had. Atlanta personal injury attorney Richard Griffin was able to recover the $25000 policy limits and was able to negotiate a reduction on the $400,000 hospital lien down to $17,000. This was truly making the best out of a terrible situation. Attorney Richard Griffin's personal injury client was able to net thousands of dollars and have the $400,000 medical bill pain in full for only $17000. The Griffin Law Firm therefore able to save their client from having to go bankrupt which would have ruined their credit in addition to the $25,000 personal injury settlement.
