ANNOUNCER: I’m with Matt Rynen from Cohen Highly Lawyers. Anything people injured in a vehicle accident should know?
MATT: Yes, if you’ve been injured in a motor vehicle accident, your insurance company will provide immediate access to medical treatment, usually up to $3,500. While that might sound like a lot, it won’t go very far. Often, once that money is used up, the insurance company will give you pushback if your providers recommend more treatment. That’s where a good personal injury lawyer can work on your behalf to get the treatment funds you need.
ANNOUNCER: Anything else?
MATT: If you’ve been injured, it’s best to contact an injury lawyer as soon as possible. Your insurance company is only required to provide treatment funding for five years from the date of the accident, and that will pass quickly. If you need to enter into a formal dispute, which happens often, it can take years to get a decision, all while your five year timeline is ticking down.
