Complex accident case settled

Bob Jones headed up the effort to obtain a fair and equitable settlement from an auto accident in which I had been rear ended at a traffic light in May 2015. This was complicated since I had just left the chiropractor's office for treatment of back/neck and shoulder pain. The existing condition was... considerably exacerbated by the force of impact (which had actually bent the frame of my pickup truck). My NO FAULT carrier denied further coverage effective September 2015 based on their IME statement that my injuries weren't caused by the accident. However, two separate orthopedic practices documented the fact that the exacerbation was indeed caused by the accident and required rotator cuff surgery to correct. NO FAULT played an adversarial game instead of covering the resulting medical costs associated with physical therapy, then surgery, and more physical therapy; which was time consuming, interfered with my normal physical abilities, and involved significant pain until surgery and recovery were completed. Further complicating the case was Medicare, since I am over 65. To say that Medicare's processing of medical bills after NO FAULT's denial of further coverage was mixed up, would be charitable. Bob successfully argued the case for a fair claim with the at fault driver's insurance company, but reimbursing Medicare for accident related costs were asserted to be substantial. Bob and his team (Tracey, a paralegal I believe) successfully made the case with Medicare that only a small amount of their payments to medical providers was my responsibility. This wrapped up the case in as timely a fashion as could be expected and provided what I regard as a fair settlement. Oh, it should be noted that I approached the Coughlin & Gerhart LLP firm based upon a personal recommendation for another attorney who had recently retired. Bob stepped in, reviewed the situation with me, was truly an active listener and explained what to expect throughout. He is an exceptional negotiator and exhibited to me the highest ethical and moral standards in pursuing a just settlement. While I hope that further services for similar reasons won't be necessary, I would not hesitate to employ him again. Thank you, Attorney Robert R Jones and staff for a job well done.
