If you've been injured in an accident and your insurance company is no longer paying your medical bills, how do you continue to get medical care? Sometimes the answer what's called a "letter of protection."

A letter of protection is a written agreement between you and your doctor that says from the settlement of the personal injury case you guarantee that the doctor will get paid before you get paid. So, if your insurance company refuses to pay your medical bills or your medical benefits have been exhausted, the answer sometimes is the letter of protection. The way it's done is that your lawyer prepares the document then both you and your doctor sign it.

Pennsylvania attorney Stuart Carpey recommends 6 important steps you must take after and auto accident.

How is a personal injury case negotiated? There's really only 3 ways that a personal injury case can be resolved by way of trial, mediation, or negotiated settlement.

What happens in a negotiated settlement? Typically what happens is the opposing insurance company comes to the settlement table with a figure that's much lower than the settlement value actually is. We come to the settlement table with a figure much higher than we believe the settlement is. Slowly both sides try and reach a negotiated settlement to settle the case. This process can take months to years. In fact, it can continue throughout litigation all the way up to the trial of the case. This is how a negotiation is conducted in Pennsylvania.

What is uninsured motorist coverage and underinsured motorist coverage is? How does it benefit and protect you?

Uninsured motorist coverage means that if the person who caused the accident does not have insurance coverage, as long as you purchased uninsured motorist coverage, you have a right to make a claim for personal injuries through your own insurance company.

Underinsured motorist coverage means that if the person that caused the accident doesn't have enough insurance coverage to cover your damages and injuries, you have a right to make a claim through you own insurance company for the additional coverage. So you can add your underinsured motorist coverage to the amount the other person has.

Both underinsured motorist coverage and uninsured motorist coverages are very valuable car insurance coverages in PA. They can be very inexpensive for the consumer to purchase but cost more for the insurance company to provide. Therefore, these coverages are not typically pushed by insurance companies in PA.

What is a mediation in a personal injury case? Why would a personal injury lawyer in PA agree to a mediation?

A mediation is an opportunity for both sides in a lawsuit to meet with an unbiased mediator. Typically, a mediator is a retired judge that now holds mediations and conducts the entire mediation. So what happens during a mediation of a personal injury case? It's not necessarily a trial but rather an opportunity for both parties in a lawsuit to come together and speak with mediator both together and sometimes privately.

So what happens in a mediation is the mediator tries to force a settlement but recognizing the strengths and weakness that are posed on both sides of the lawsuit. Sometimes it's successful, sometimes it's not. Usually, it's a good idea to attend a mediation pre-trial because you can gain insight into what information the other side has. At the same time, you have to release some information that you plan to use in trial. Overall, a mediation in a personal injury case is a good opportunity to try and settle the case before it goes to trial.

What kind of personal injury cases should go through mediation? Some personal injury cases are good for mediation and some aren't. Determining whether your case is a good case to go through mediation depends on the circumstances of your case, the types of injuries and depends on whether the opposing side is willing to mediate the case.
