At Gallien Law, we understand the value of having an effective legal strategy.

Here is our Strategic Saturday tip for today:

💡 Let Your Attorney Navigate Medical Bills While Your Case Is Pending💡

After an accident, medical bills can pile up quickly, leaving many injury victims feeling pressured to pay out-of-pocket or negotiate directly with providers. However, making financial commitments too soon could impact your case and reduce your final compensation. Your attorney can help protect you from unnecessary financial strain.

Why You Should Let Your Attorney Handle Medical Bills:

• Avoid Overpaying – Hospitals and insurance companies may try to collect more than they are legally entitled to.
• Negotiate Medical Liens – Your attorney can work with providers to defer payment until after your settlement.
• Protect Your Settlement – Agreeing to payments too soon can weaken your legal position and lower your compensation.
• Shield Yourself from Collection Pressure – Debt collectors may push for immediate payment, but your attorney can intervene on your behalf.
• Separate Accident-Related Bills from Regular Medical Expenses – Keeping injury-related bills distinct ensures you claim the right expenses.

What You Should Do:

✔ Consult Your Attorney Before Paying Any Large Medical Bills – They can ensure your settlement covers what you owe.
✔ Inform Medical Providers About Your Pending Claim – Your attorney may arrange for a lien or deferred payment.
✔ Do Not Negotiate Medical Debt on Your Own – Let your attorney assist you in negotiating medical debt.
✔ Keep a Record of All Accident-related Medical Bills and Expenses – Keeping a detailed record of all accident-related medical bills and expenses and providing it to your attorney can help ensure reimbursement in your final settlement.
