Medical Bill Reductions Can Increase Client’s Personal Injury Recoveries

January 21, 2008

The 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 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 not a good option when there are weaknesses in the case such as pre-existing conditions, muliple prior personal injury claims, low property damage, gaps in medical treatment, disputes in liability (who is at fault), etc.  The 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 clients. 

Personal Injury Lawyers Fight Health Insurance Subrogation Claims

January 21, 2008

Health insurance companies often pursue reimbursement for the medical bills when the injures arose from a personal injury claim.  The insurance companies claim for reimbursement is called a subrogation claim.  Georgia limits the rights of the health insurance companies to be reimbursed.  The personal injury attorneys at The Griffin Law Firm, P.C. have been very successful in negotiate large reductions or even fight off these claims completely for our clients.  This allows the personal injury victim to keep much more of the money received from their personal injury settlements.  Attorney Richard Griffin takes the position that it is very unfair for health insurance companies to seek reimbursement for medical bills that are rightfully paid under the health insurance coverage that is purchased by personal injury victims.
