There are multiple potential legal problems you can face after an accident, including ones you probably wouldn’t anticipate. If medical bills are not paid promptly, they can quickly damage your credit rating. Medical providers can place a lien on any potential settlement you may receive. Likewise, if you have health insurance that pays for your bills, they also have a subrogated claim against any money you may receive. There are limits to those entity’s rights. Mika & Associates’ representation doesn’t end with the settlement. It continues, in negotiation with those claimants, to preserve every dime possible for you, the injured party.
The attorneys at Mika & Associates will meet with you, at no cost, for a full consultation and evaluation of your case. If you hire the firm, you will pay no fee unless, and until you receive money in a settlement or judgment.
