Your case is more valuable if it is presented to an insurance company with medical documenta on from first-rate medical providers and expert legal representa on. Further, you are more likely to obtain high quality medical care and achieve the best recovery when you are seen by medical providers with excep onal reputa ons who are well known in the medical community. These medical providers will also advocate your case to the insurance companies with well-documented medical reports. Most injured motorcyclists will not be able to be seen by medical providers such as this through their private health insurance, medi-cal, medi-care or military insurance since the number one goal of these healthcare providers is to provide as li le medical care to you as possible; further, these medical providers rarely provide a report which advocates your motorcycle claim. Finally, most motorcyclists are not advised that the treatment they receive from their health insurance- whether military, medi-cal, medi-care-or some other private source is not a free lunch. These health care providers will require reimbursement of monies from you when your case se les for all medical services they have provided to you which relate to your accident.

This is the best way to guarantee that my clients will achieve both a complete recovery from the injuries they sustained in their accident and achieve superior compensa on. At my office, we believe that our clients should focus on recovering from their injuries and not be concerned with moun ng medical bills. If we assist our clients with referrals for appropriate medical care, the clients are not responsible for any payment to any medical provider un l and unless their case is resolved. This way, my clients do not sustain any financial hardship or financial risk whatsoever and their focus is centered on recovering from their injuries and regaining their lives.
