Everyone knows insurance doctors doing an IME, or "Independent/Insurance Medical Exam," are not "independent." But, can your TBI attorney expose their insurance industry bias and show that their opinions ignore decades of settled and sometimes even codified science? A competent TBI attorney will be able to cite the scientific literature and statutes countering the following commonly asserted defenses, which too often end TBI cases:
Q: I ALREADY HIRED AN ATTORNEY, BUT THEY AREN'T A TBI ATTORNEY. WHAT DO I DO?
A: The representation agreement you signed should outline what happens if you hire another law office. While RCW 60.40 permits an attorney to file a lien for their time, if your injury is new and the attorney has done minimal work then anything owed should be minimal.
Q: DO I NEED A RIDESHARE (Uber/Lyft), TRUCKING, PREMISES, NURSING HOME, MOTORCYCLE, OR BICYCLE ATTORNEY?
A: Brain injuries are so complex that a medical provider can haves 3 board certifications and a PhD in Brain Injury Medicine but still freely admit they don't know everything. TBI law is similarly complex. A boutique law firm with a practice focus on TBI gets better results for their TBI clients. We have expertise in bringing all these kinds of TBI cases.
Q: I CAN'T WORK AND CAN'T AFFORD AN ATTORNEY. WHAT CAN I DO?
A: The governing law and rules permit us to take your case on a contingency basis. This means you pay nothing until your case resolves at which time we are paid a percentage of the total amount recovered. If there is no recovery, e.g., your case is lost, then no fee is owed.
