Car Accident Doctors in Oklahoma City
June 30, 2011
I’ve written before about how it can be hard to find a doctor for treatment after a car accident. A lot of doctors won’t get involved, even if they’ve treated the patient for years, if they’ve been in a car accident.
Here are two medical providers that will treat car accident injury patients:
Accident Care & Treatment Center 3233 NW 63rd Street Oklahoma City, OK 73116 Phone: (405) 767-0534 .Broadway Clinic 1801 North Broadway Ave. Oklahoma City, OK 73103 Phone: (405) 528-1936
Both providers will treat on what’s called a “lien-basis.” Basically, they will wait to get paid until you settle with the car insurance company to get paid.
Working With Insurance Adjusters
June 9, 2011
Insurance adjusters (and defense attorneys) can some times be hard to work with. I received a response yesterday that I hadn’t had before:
One of the medical providers on the case was VERY slow on getting us their bills and medical records for one of our car accident clients. I went ahead and sent the demand letter to the insurance company about a month ago with the instruction that we would forward the records/bills from the final provider once we received them. We already had the other records and bills from the other five providers and this would give the insurance adjuster a chance to start reviewing the file (and hopefully speed of the claims process).
I talked with the adjuster yesterday about the case. I mentioned that the outstanding bills and records had finally arrived and that I was emailing her the records as we spoke.
Her response:
“Do you think that makes a difference to our settlement offer?”
They had already made a settlement offer on the claim (another low ball offer). Their offer barely covers the claimants medical bills. A bill for over $1000 should definitely change their settlement value of the claim.
