Transcribe →Do I Have to See My Lawyer’s Doctor After an Accident? | Your Right to Choose Medical Care Explained
Oct 700:02:40Tap to summarizeAfter an accident, one of the most common questions clients ask is: “Do I have to see a doctor my lawyer recommends?” The answer is no — you have the freedom to choose your own doctor.You can use your health insurance, visit urgent care, see your primary care physician, or get an MRI from a referred specialist. If you don’t have insurance or can’t afford medical treatment, your lawyer may recommend a vetted doctor who treats under a Letter of Protection (LOP) — meaning they’ll wait to get paid until your case settles.Personal Injury Lawyer Ralph Manginello from Attorney911 explains how to make the best medical choice for your health and your case.#PersonalInjuryLawyer #AccidentAttorney #LetterOfProtection #DoctorChoice #AccidentClaim #CarAccidentInjury #Attorney911 #InjuryLaw #MedicalTreatment #LegalAdvice
