Unexpected medical bills can overwhelm a family budget in days. It can be even more frustrating for the family, when they result from injuries sustained in an auto accident. If that accident was caused by a driver distracted while they were texting or putting on makeup, then the injured person is entitled to damages to pay the cost of the injuries caused by the accident. If they have to stop working, they are entitled to damages to pay for that lost income. In addition they may be able to recover additional money for emotional trauma and pain and suffering. An Auto Accident Lawyer Henderson Nevada can explain their rights to them.
Once the injured person’s doctor has determined how much medical treatment is necessary and the extent to which the person will recover, an attorney from the Brian D Nettles Law Offices will file a claim with the negligent driver’s insurance company. Unfortunately, insurance companies care more about their bottom line than they do the bills of an injured person. Insurance investigators may try and prove that the injured person caused the accident. If that fails, they may question the extent of their injuries. They may even claim that the injuries existed prior to the accident. If a person doesn’t hire a lawyer quickly enough, an insurance company representative can convince them that the insurance company needs to see their medical records to pay them. Therefore the person signs a waiver to let the company see their confidential health records. This gives the insurance company the right to examine all of their medical documents throughout their life.
Back and neck injuries, such as whiplash, can also be very difficult to diagnose and treat. X-rays and CAT scans are often inconclusive. Two patients can have nearly the same test results and have vastly different symptoms. Therefore the insurance company medical team can diagnose fewer accident-related injuries.
