Why nobody hire a lawyer ?

[Guest guest]

Hi:

I was just wondering why nobody hire a lawyer for the appeal?.

As I said, I'm just wondering, I'm new in this and I'm not familiar with the

process for appeals, but I have heard that some lawyers doesn't charge

anything to the client but instead they charge their fee to the insurance

company.

What if is possible to find a lawyer who want to work for that amount of

money? The amount (percent of) that he/she could obtain from the insurance

once the case is won?.

Does anydoby have a reccomendation about it?

THanks in advance.

Ivonne.

Hi Ivonne,

I don't think I've replied to any of your posts yet, so welcome to

the group!!

You know, there IS a lawyer specializing in plagio insurance

appeals. There may have been a couple of people in this group who

have posted about using him or his services, and I think I've read a

couple of posts at the Cranial Tech website parents board about him

to!

Here is his website if you decide to investigate:

Hello Ivonne

Welcome to the group. I see that Chrisite has given you a great

link. I have asked myself as well about the question you have

asked. I didn't have to fight our insurance, but I would probably

hire someone to do the appeal for me as well.

Good luck, and let us know how it turns out.

Mostly, MONEY and time are the limiting factors. The good news is

that parents can appeal to insurance companies and win. In

the " Files " section of this site, there are wonderful example

letters and if you go the plagiocephaly.org/support, there is an

article about how to deal with insurance companies who don't want to

pay. I had to appeal once before my insurance company paid. Since

the fight was for my daughter, I acted like an attack dog, out for

blood. I was mad as hell. I continually wrote letters to the

insurance company, reported them to the state insurance department,

called everyday for a status report, sent letters via certified mail

and then faxed them to both corporate offices. When I won, yes - I

was exhausted but I knew my battle was for my daughter, the most

precious person in the world to me. If I had money to pay a lawyer

to fight for us, I am not so sure what I would have done. Please do

know that you, as a parent, can take action without a lawyer and it

is POSSIBLE to win. Holly

Ivonne,

I see Christie has already given you Ian Doris' info. He has help

several plagio parents with payment of claims or reimbursement of

ill services.
