Medical Care on Credit

Unfortunately, a great number of people injured in accidents accumulate large medical bills, yet have little or no insurance to pay for them. The result can be catastrophic, even leading to bankruptcy. Collection companies hound patients for hospital bills and damaging credit reports are filed with credit reporting agencies.

Many healthcare providers are willing to wait until a case is settled to receive payment if they can rely upon a quality law firm to handle your injury case. These providers who are willing to wait for payment until a case settles extend credit to the patient based upon a “lien”, which is a document that the injured person and the attorney both sign to assure the healthcare provider that the bill will be paid directly from the settlement.

Many clinics specialize in trauma cases, physical therapy, pain management, and surgery, and look to law firms that specialize in representing victims of traumatic or catastrophic accidents for referrals. The Blackman Legal Group, which has an excellent rate of payment on liens, is widely acceptable as a source of credit for its clients.
