We Work To Reduce Lien Claims
We frequently strive to reduce lien claimant’s payments to maximize our client’s recovery. Sometimes we file motions to adjudicate a lien. Frequently, we are able to negotiate with the lien claimant in order to reduce their lien.
We will review your file to evaluate every aspect of your claim, including the medical bills, past and future lost wage claims, pain and suffering, loss of consortium, disability as well as any other claims that may be associated with the accident, like the cost to repair or replace your vehicle.
Uninsured/Underinsured Claims
If the person who caused the accident does not have insurance, or the insurance limits are too low, we will have to file claims against a person’s own policy. This is called an uninsured/underinsured claim.
