Letter of Protection - Plaintiff - BI Case |
"In BI cases, don't use the doctor's form for a letter of
protection for his bill. Use your own form to protect yourself from
liability."You'll reach for this Letter of Protection legal form in every personal injury lawsuit where you are the plaintiff's attorney.You know what happens in your BI cases. The medical bills pile up, and your client's doctor tells her patient (your client) that medical treatment will stop unless the client either pays the doctor bill now or signs the doctor's form saying that the doctor will get paid out of the case settlement. The form the doctor gives your client to sign is usually not good for either you, the client, or the lawsuit. Nine times out of ten, the doctor's form is worded so that the doctor can be attacked on the witness stand for having agreed not to be paid unless the case is won. Worse than that, ten times out of ten, the doctor's form is worded so that the doctor gets paid before you get paid even your costs of the litigation. And it gets worse. When you sign multiple forms for medical providers you can get into some real conflicts of provisions. The doctor's form conflicts with the hospital's form, and the hospital's form conflicts with the physical therapist's forms. In most states, you are the trustee of the funds to see that all are paid properly. Our letter of protection form starts out with an eight page report on the law regarding the lawyer's duties on disbursing funds and the use of letters of protection. This report by itself may keep you from making costly mistakes. Then after this eight page report for your education, we give you the form you should use in sending out your own Letter of Protection when you need one. Check your state law, but we think, for most states, our Letter of Protection form is the single best, uniform, form one you can use. Use our form with the modifications your research suggests is needed for your state. Then send the doctor back her form, and the hospital its form, unsigned by you, and send them your own form, signed by you and the client. (Remember, if your client does not sign a letter of protection authorizing you to make the agreement, you can get in big trouble, and our Letter of Protection guides you to get it done right.) This Letter of Protection is so inexpensive that if it saves you one-half hour of time ---- ever ---- it would have paid for itself. But where you will really praise yourself for using this form is the first time it gets you out of trouble! Just one paragraph, the pro rata payment clause, probably will do that more than once for you. We give you a 100% money back guarantee. If you are not delighted, you get your money back. You have nothing to lose. Three big points.

Dear Fellow Attorney,
While practicing for the last 35 years, in a successful five state litigation practice, I developed and refined a Letter of Protection that medical providers all accepted and that saved me from problems when the case settled and the client and doctor were about to part ways. Having my own Letter of Protection form saved me lots of time, and made me more effective for my clients. Most attorneys have no real system of developed forms to use with doctors. Most attorneys waste time, and they miss issues and questions they should ask. But that doesn't have to be you. My Letter of Protection is a mentor in a box, coaching you on the points you should consider. You do not have to waste time, looking at various forms different medical providers send you. Don't sign the form of the medical provider. instead, send them your own standard Letter of Protection form. Standardize your office practice and protect both you and your client from the clauses in most medical providers' form letter of protection. Here's more great news. Upon ordering, you'll get instant access to both the eight page summary report on what you need to know about the law in this area and also your Letter of Protection. You can get started in just minutes! We deliver Letter of Protection to you right now, in PDF format for you to open and copy and use on your computer immediately!
You have nothing to lose. If Letter of Protection saves you from liability in just one case - ever - it will have paid for itself thousands of times over. Remember, you can own both the Report and also the Letter of Protection if you act by Midnight , for the price of only $17.
