This is our first for PI Email Alert Members. Email your

johntawlian@shawnsteel.com. This will be limited to only 25
callers. You can ask any question, live, about PI and I will do
my best to answer. But email me your questions first. |
Question and Answers:
What to do if the 3rd party
[defendant] refuses to pay your patient.
Dr. DB emailed us recently. He has a patient who
was a passenger in her brother’s car. The police report blamed
the defendant. The car was totaled.
However, the defendant’s insurance will not admit fault, despite
the police report. The patient does not have an attorney. And,
the treatment is minimal @ $1000. What should the doctor advise
the patient?
My suggestions:
Tell the patient that this is not a lien case. That she
must pay the bill, installments if needed.
I believe all PI, especially like this one always needs a
strong CO-PAY.
Most attorneys will not litigate a "small” case.
Strongly encourage your patient to file in Small Claims Court
[see www.ShawnSteel.com
Small claims are easy, fast and profitable.
The patient can claim for all medical bills, plus pain and
suffering.
