Our Cambridge PIP Lawyers Can Handle Your Case
When a patient comes to you for treatment after a car accident, they and you reasonably expect their insurance to pay for the care they need, including:
- Hospital stays
- Surgery
- Diagnostic tests
- Follow-up tests
- Medical devices
- Physical therapy
- Prescription medication
- Home nursing services
When the insurer denies coverage, both you and your patient are left stranded. How can you get the money you are owed for the care you provided in good faith?
This is where GED Lawyers can come in. When our Cambridge personal injury protection attorneys take on a case, we handle all day-to-day tasks, including:
- Communicating with the insurance company
- Addressing any alleged issues the insurance company identifies, such as a lack of evidence
- Filing all necessary paperwork to appeal the denial
- Representing you at all in-person or virtual meetings with the insurer
- Presenting your case as clearly and as completely as possible
- Advising you about tactics the insurer might use to try to uphold the denial
At the same time, we understand that this is your case and that you do not want to relinquish your right to make big-picture decisions. Our Cambridge personal injury lawyers keep you in the loop and provide all of the information you need to make the right decisions at each step along the way. You will never have to face the insurer alone.
Our Personal Injury Lawyers Charge Nothing Up Front
GED Lawyers recognizes that, thanks to the insurer’s nonpayment of services, our clients are already facing financial struggles. We have no wish to make things any more stressful for you. That is why we work on contingency, which means:
- You pay nothing up front or by the hour
- You only get a bill from us if we win
- You owe us no attorneys’ fees if we cannot secure money for you
Still have questions about our pay structure or our services? We are always available and can take your call 24/7. That is how committed we are to ensuring our clients receive fair compensation.
What to Do When the Insurance Company Denies a Legitimate Claim
There are many reasons why an insurance company might refuse to pay a valid PIP claim:
- Misunderstanding. Claims may be lost, misfiled, or misread.
- Filing errors. Even something as simple as a typo can lead to a denial.
- Unwillingness to pay. Unfortunately, insurers sometimes decide they simply do not want to pay a claim, and they make excuses to avoid approving it.
If you receive a denial on a claim that you know is valid, we encourage you to speak to us right away. Trying to handle this case on your own could lead to the insurance company:
- Offering to pay far less than you need
- Taking anything you say out of context and using it to justify their denial
- Refusing to respond to your communications in a timely manner, dragging out the case for longer than necessary
- Falsely claiming that the policy does not cover the treatment you provided or that the policyholder does not have sufficient coverage to pay for all treatments
You should also retain all evidence and materials related to the case, including the original PIP claim, the patient’s medical records, and any communications or discussions you had with other parties regarding the claim.
You are a medical provider, and you should be spending your time caring for patients, not fighting insurers for the bare necessities. Our legal team can discuss your case with you at any time, including in the evening and on weekends. Call GED Lawyers now for a free consultation.
How PIP Coverage Works in Cambridge
In Massachusetts, no-fault insurance—also known as personal injury protection, or PIP—entitles policyholders to a certain amount of protection, no matter who causes the car accident in which they were injured. The minimum required amount of PIP insurance is $8,000 per person, but policyholders can purchase more if they want to.
PIP insurance should kick in as soon as the policyholder or a member of their household is injured in a motor vehicle accident. The diagnosis and required treatment should not matter. As long as the policyholder has the legally mandated amount of no-fault insurance, they should be able to receive up to $8,000 worth of care for:
- Concussions and traumatic brain injuries
- Bone fractures or dislocations
- Cuts and lacerations
- Back and spine injuries
- Soft tissue injuries
- Burns
- Road rash and abrasions
In an ideal world, medical providers would not have to worry about how and when they get paid for treating auto accident victims. At GED Lawyers, our personal injury protection attorneys in Cambridge do what we can to level the playing field by appealing unfair denials and fighting as long and as hard as necessary to get our clients the payment they need.
