How to Maximize the Value of Your Injury Claim
Manage episode 329647215 series 2119562
If you're injured in an accident, don't be surprised your primary care doctor will not want to see you or may want to see you under a different arrangement and not your health insurance.
That's because medical treatment for auto accident injuries is slightly different from your standard care. Many physicians don't want to do the extra work involved in treating you and not get paid.
Learn more in this episode of the David vs. Goliath podcast with elite civil trial lawyers Matt Dolman and his partner, Stan Gipe. They discuss the five value drivers for personal injury cases, and how to shoot for those big verdicts!
