Medical Care After Car Accident

By Ward & Caggiano

Following an Orlando car accident, many injured people seek medical help. Unfortunately, during the insurance claim process, insurance company doctors examine innocent car accident victims and may try to minimize the extent of injury. The insurance company wins when these medical doctors ?find no permanent injury" or that any injury is "not related to the car accident.? As Orlando car accident lawyers, we have received many complaints about such biased, medical doctors. Most of the time, we can help level the playing field!

As my partner, a medical doctor and attorney, Walter Ward, MD/JD, has taught our clients, many Orlando car accident lawyers do not have sufficient knowledge of medicine to successfully expose dishonest medical doctors. Many Orlando attorneys do not understand the complex medical issues or invest the time to uncover the bias of these ?hired guns.? Obviously, an innocent driver or passenger suffering real injury deserves an Orlando auto accident attorney who understands how to deal with these medical doctors and bring the truth to light.

In addition to Dr. Ward, our staff nurse, Cindy Nixon, RN, has helped many Orlando auto accident clients understand both the medical and legal issues involved in their case. As a critical care, registered nurse, Cindy manages the medical information, stays in close contact with our clients and assists with any health care questions along the way. Our clients find Cindy to be an invaluable resource; and, we find her to provide ammunition to go to war with dishonest medical experts.

Too many innocent, honest people suffer an injury in Orlando and unknowingly settle for so much less. Yet, our clients have explained that people who are injured are not aware that there are law firms with an attorney who is also a medical doctor, a registered nurse on staff and a board certified civil trial lawyer. It is for that reason I wrote the book, Seeking Justice: An Insider?s Guide for the Injured. It helps protect decent, honest people from falling into the hands of lawyers who have no business handling an important injury case. We continue to make a Free copy of this book available to anyone injured in Florida.
