In my opinion, they are the best motorcycle accident lawyers in Michigan.

Nurse Case Managers

Michigan car accident lawyers often utilize case managers to assist their injured clients in their medical treatment. Case managers are typically nurses or vocational rehabilitation counselors play a very important role in helping an injured person with their road to recovery. The use of case managers is especially important when the injuries are catastrophic, such as a traumatic brain injury or spinal cord injury.

Case managers often help the patient do the following:

  • Coordinating medical care with multiple doctors and clinics
  • Finding the best medical specialists for a patient's needs
  • Scheduling doctor's appointments
  • Helping the patient with home modifications, such as ramps
  • Helping the patient obtain necessary medical appliances, like wheelchairs and hospital beds
  • Communicating with the insurance company on behalf of the patient
  • Other services to assist the client with their care, recovery, and rehabilitation

Case Management Services are actually a part of the medical benefits that an injured person is entitled to receive under the No-Fault laws and the car insurance policy.

There is no limit on the amount of case management services that can be received. The only limitation is that the case management services must be reasonable and necessary for your care, recovery, and rehabilitation.

Many times, the No-Fault insurance company will push its own nurse case manager on the injured person. We advise against this practice. The insurance company nurse case manager will often have the interests of the insurance company before the interests of the client. This often results in the termination of medical treatment and other benefits. In these situations, the injured person has the right to hire his or her own case manager to replace the insurance company case manager.

Like other medical benefits, the injured person can receive this service for the rest of his or her life if it is necessary. A written claim must be submitted to the insurance adjuster assigned to your claim. Usually, case managers will send their reports and bills directly to the insurance adjuster. Claims for case management services every thirty days, but claims for case management services can be submitted up to within one year of the date of service.

If the insurance company refuses to pay these benefits, your only recourse is to file a lawsuit against the insurance company that demands payment for the services. In these situations, it is important to contact a Michigan car accident lawyer immediately.
