When the client’s hearing difficulties developed, her medical provider recommended hearing aids. However, her health insurance would not cover the devices.
Rutter Mills explored alternative treatment arrangements, including medical liens, before helping her locate a healthcare provider who could work with her insurance.
The client’s injuries required more than initial emergency treatment and physical therapy. As her spinal pain continued, her doctor recommended ongoing injections and raised the possibility of future surgery.
These recommendations became important to the case because a settlement needed to account for both her existing medical expenses and the potential cost of future treatment.
Despite mounting medical expenses, the insurer handling the accident claim did not make an offer during the earlier stages of the case. The legal team needed to demonstrate the severity of the injuries, the impact on the client’s daily life, and the likelihood of continued medical treatment.
As the medical bills increased beyond $76,000, Rutter Mills continued preparing the case for litigation.
