Before submitting a demand to the insurance company, your attorney should send you the list of medical expense bills he or she has and request that you cross-check it with the record of expenses you have. By matching each medical bill with each medical visit, you can verify that your attorney has received copies of every bill you received.

Before Mailing a Settlement Request, Your Orange Park Personal Injury Attorney Should Make Contact With All Your Medical Providers

One of the final steps your attorney should perform before mailing the insurance company a settlement request is to telephone each medical provider in order to determine if any undocumented medical bills are outstanding. Your attorney will want to determine:
If all bills have been completely paid;
If they have not, what bills are still outstanding?; and
If the bills in question have been included in the request for settlement.

By taking the time to make sure no outstanding bills exist, your Orange Park personal injury lawyer will prevent the added expense, effort and time of dealing with bills that are discovered after settlement has occurred.
