The aftermath of a serious injury can be stressful because so many variables come at you from virtually all corners, and you may not know where to start. You may have to contend with your medical bills, mounting personal bills, having to find competent legal representation and even thinking of how your future is going to pan out. If your injuries are deemed severe, you will need urgent medical care and surgery in order to stabilize yourself, and this usually doesn’t come cheap: you may have to consider specialist consultation, physical therapy, multiple doctor’s appointments, lab tests and results, as well as the initial emergency room visits, all of which put together make for a pretty penny.

These medicals come in quick succession, overwhelming even the most resolute of us. If your medical bills aren’t taken care of in a timely manner, bankruptcy may become an inevitable reality in just a few weeks or months. In addition, in order to win a claim where you allege the at-fault party acted in a negligent manner causing your injuries, there must be a paper trail of medical evidence proving the same. Therefore, many injured would-be claimants live in a shadowy catch-22 not knowing what to do or where to start.

At McCready Law, we empathize with you during this difficult time, and want to assure you that all is not lost; specifically, a legal instrument such as a Letter of Protection comes into play which is used to shield you from untoward financial consequences of getting injured as well as ensuring you get the timely treatment you deserve – read on to find out how this letter works in the grand scheme of things when it comes to seeking justice and compensation for your personal injury claim.

The experienced injury lawyers at McCready Law have helped tens of thousands of injured Americans across the country recover compensation after getting injured due to the negligent actions of other individuals or corporate giants. We have cumulative experience which spans over 90 YEARS and have been able to successfully recover over $260 million and counting for our clients over the decades we’ve been in operation as a stellar and well-regarded and respected law firm.

Our enviable success can be attributed by a number of factors such as handling all cases as Bonafide attorneys and not delegating them to inexperienced paralegals or legal assistance, an unfortunately common practice in most law firms which often leads to the failure of a personal injury claim. We also work closely with the client so we can capture accurate case details to boost the credibility of a claim as well as informing you on the progress of your case as things happen. We work with renowned experts in the fields of forensic science and investigations, accounting and medicine to ensure your damages are documented, justified by the evidence as well as scientific and medical rationale, all done to ensure you receive maximum compensation.

We are also not afraid to litigate claims should we believe that the insurance company’s initial offers are in bad faith given the circumstances surrounding the accident or severity of your injuries as taking a claim to court to be decided upon by a judge or jury usually leads to the injured party recovering maximum compensation allowable by law, which can sometimes hit the hundreds of thousands or even millions of dollars. We run a bilingual firm (hablamos Español), and we have nationwide presence thanks to our vast network of competent and trusted network of referral attorneys and law firms.

Last but not least, is the fact that we take on all cases on contingency fee basis, which means that there are ZERO UPFRONT FEES for the duration of the processing of your claim, as we only levy our fees at the end of the suit, and only if we’ve recovered compensation on your behalf. If you or a loved one got injured due to someone else’s negligence whether it was due to an auto accident, a slip and fall event, construction-related accident, factory accident or any other event, please reach out to us NOW at (314) 481-63338 to learn more about your legal options for justice and compensation – our intake team is standing by.

How a Letter of Protection Works in an Injury Claim

Simply put, a letter of protection is a binding legal agreement drafted by us your injury attorneys, signed by you the client that is sent to a medical provider promising to pay their bill directly from the outcome of your case, be it a settlement or judgment. An LOP gives a medical provider the legal right to have their bill paid before you receive your share of the compensation arising out of a successful legal claim. Essentially, it inspires confidence in the provider that their services will ultimately be compensated even if you’re unable to currently pay for any medical services or procedures.

Here are the core uses or importance of a letter of protection:

1. This document allows you to seek medical treatment immediately which can then be used to build a strong case given the medical record trail created adding a layer of legitimacy to your claim
2. The document also allows you to seek treatment without the fear of mounting debt, giving you the ability to take care of any health complications before they overwhelm you
3. With a letter of protection, you will be able to maintain a consistent treatment plan which will then prevent the defense’s legal team or insurance company to use the argument that your injuries are either not as severe as you claim, or that they were caused by a separate incident

How a Letter of Protection Protects Both You and the Medical Provider

A letter of protection also acts as a medical lien of sorts, which by definition is a legal claim or right against property. With this document, both you and the medical provider are provided with varying levels of protection. For the medical provider, an LOP is a powerful guarantee and a motivator for them to provide treatment given the fact that they will most likely charge a higher rate for their services compared to what they would be paid by an insurance company since they take on a much higher risk accepting a patient with a letter of protection.

When it comes to you the client, a letter of protection protects you by shielding you from collections as the medical provider won’t send your bills to them given the pending hearing or resolution of a legal matter. In addition, you evade personal liability since the LOP shifts this liability or responsibility to the future settlement or judgment, helping you breathe easy as we work hard to resolve your claim.
