GM Law Firm, Your Partner in Medical Debts

Millions of Americans have unpaid medical bills with an estimated average of $2,000.  Medical bills pile up not only due to the rising costs of healthcare, but primarily because medical debts are often unplanned expenditures.  Medical debts are incurred out of accidents or emergencies.

More often than not, we only learn how much we owe for medical services and procedures after the services have been performed.  More often than not, the prices on the health care bill are difficult to comprehend and arrive at a time when we are unprepared for expenses.

In some states where the health facility has rights to a lien, the medical debt may be recorded against your property, thereby drastically reducing your credit rating.  A low credit rating will put you in a situation where you will have difficulty in financial standing.

Medical Debts End Up As Credit Card Loans

Health insurance often covers only a measly portion of the health care bills.  If we were unable to set up enough emergency fund we have difficulty in settling our medical bills.  Health facilities encourage patients to pay their bills using their credit cards to be assured that they would be able to collect payments.

Our hospital bills end up as an unsecured loan in credit card companies with high-interest rates.  Because the expenditure was unplanned, we are barely able to remit payments every month until we end up mired deep in debt.

Dealing With Debts Collectors Is A Hassle

Credit card companies pass the medical debts to collection agents who often pester the already beleaguered debtor with frequent calls.  You are protected by the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act which provides against harassment and assures confidentiality of your indebtedness.

GM Law Firm, LLC can help shield you from harassment perpetrated by collection agencies and help you negotiate for affordable payment of your medical debts.  When you take us, we immediately inform your creditor to only communicate with us as your counsel.

Unraveling Your Medical Debt

We then subject the credit amount under careful review and verification.  Our negotiators work out a debt management plan with your creditor to reduce your medical debt to a fraction of its original amount, to be paid with a lower interest rate, for a longer period of time.

Call Us Today

Please contact us today and be protected against harassment from debt collectors.  Even if you have debt collection problems other than for medical debts, we can discuss and work out a feasible debt settlement.  Consult now with our attorney for free.

When You Need A Personal Injury Lawyer For Your Injury Claims

There are times when you need to use the skills of experienced personal injury lawyers because the company refuses to settle the matter in good faith or because the injuries could cause the compensation to be higher than average. Certain types of injuries or accidents usually need to have a lawyers’ help, and we have listed some of those injuries and accidents below.

Severe Injuries

The severity of the injuries usually determines the amount of accident compensation. The type of injury you suffer, the amount of your medical bills and the amount of time it takes you torecover measures the severity of an injury. The higher the compensation amount rises, the lower  the chances are that the insurance company will be willing to pay. In this case, it would be worth hiring a Toronto personal injury lawyer to handle the claim in order to ensure that the client receives the most significant compensation possible.

Permanent or Long-Term Disabling Injuries

Some accidents leave people with permanent disability injuries that affect their lives or with physical disabilities for a long time. It can be tough for a person to determine how much a serious injury is worth. This is why it is highly recommended that a personhires a personal injury lawyer who is experienced in such claims, and who can get the most composition out of it.

Toxic Exposure

The use of chemicals has increased in recent years. People have become exposed to contamination in the air, water, products, soil, and even food. When claims are based on such exposures, it is challenging to prove. However, a personal injury lawyer would be very helpful because most of the times these companies or industries have very high protection against these cases.

When Insurance Companies Refuse To Pay

Sometimes, regardless of the kind of injuries or the amount of compensation, some insurance companies will refuse to pay the claim. When you have lost income, and you have covered all of your medical bills, the insurance company may still refuse to make a reasonable settlement for you. In this case, hiring a personal injury lawyer is an excellent idea because they would be able to get the compensation for you in court.

Medical Malpractice

Medical malpractice cases can be difficult to navigate, and they require an experienced personal injury lawyer to handle them. If you have suffered an injury due to a careless, or incompetent doctor, nurse, clinic, laboratory, or any type of medical provider, hiring a lawyer could be your best bet at winning the case.

Final say

Hiring a personal injury lawyer can be a hard task, but you can ask your friends or your acquaintances for referrals for the best option. Do thorough research on the internet so that you can find a lawyer that will get you the best composition for your injuries.
