Recently, d’Oliveira and Associates, Attorney Heather Spellman obtained a $100,000 settlement for our client, who was badly injured in an automobile accident in Rhode Island. Our client was a passenger in a vehicle where the driver was negligent.
Our client was transported to a local Hospital with complaints of a pain in his right arm. The hospital examination diagnosed him with a fractured right arm. The arm would later need surgical repair.
Attorney Heather Spellman stated “Our client suffered a serious fracture in a motor vehicle accident, requiring surgery. There were medical bills to address health insurance issues to navigate, and a potential underinsured motorist claim that still needed to be protected. We stepped in – identified available MedPay coverage to help with his medical expenses, obtained and addressed his health insurance lien, and successfully negotiated that lien down so that more of the settlement remained in our client’s pocket. Because the liability policy limits had been offered before we became involved, we did not take an attorney’s fee from that settlement.”
