The Marsh Law Firm has been representing victims of auto crashes and other personal injury injuries for over 40 years in Longmont.

Personal injuries are almost always unexpected and often perceived as catastrophic. We can help. Our office works to obtain practical and effective solutions. Assistance with your need for immediate and effective medical treatment is often our first focus. Insult is added to injury when faced with the realities of delivery of medical care in these situations. Our office works with our clients to coordinate insurance coverage for necessary medical treatment. Med-pay coverage is the best solution. For some people, the benefit is not available or the limits of the policy are not adequate. In some circumstances, clients have no health insurance, med pay insurance, Medicaid or Medicare available. In some cases, we can facilitate obtaining medical treatment based on an agreement to pay fees out of any settlement or judgment.

The reality for many of our clients is that they have to deal with a number of legal issues at a time when their medical, legal and financial issues are overwhelming. Some of these are:

• Insurance Company of the At Fault Driver. Very shortly after the crash, it is typical that our clients will receive a telephone call from the insurance company of the at-fault driver. This insurance adjuster will often make statements or imply things that are simply untrue. DO NOT SPEAK WITH THE INSURANCE ADJUSTER OF THE AT-FAULT DRIVER. Our office immediately contacts this insurance company and you will not have to deal with them directly again.
• Your Insurance Company. If you have an insurance agent, we will contact them immediately. They are often the most reliable source of quick information that is likely to be helpful to you. We are interested in whether you have Med-pay coverage. If so, we will assist you in getting this coverage active by obtaining a claim number and contact information for the Med-pay Unit. Do you have uninsured/underinsured coverage that might directly benefit you?
• Your Health Insurance. Some health insurance companies will take the position that some other company is “primary” and that they are not required to pay claims regarding the auto crash. This can be very disruptive to the medical providers that you have used for years. We are able to assist you to clarify which insurance carrier should be paying. In some circumstances, if you desire, we communicate directly with your doctors to advise them as to how to get their bills paid. In some circumstances, we need to work with the medical provider to deal with the denial of some or all of the medical charges.
• Communicating with the Authorities. In some cases, the police or District Attorney’s Office will ask for information from you. We assist you with regard to this. We also do what we can to seek to an order for an award of restitution in the traffic/criminal case from the at-fault driver.
