Your Team
The Role of Your Medical Team
In the healing process, time is crucial. You need medical experts
who can quickly identify what you need,
and get you on the right track in those critical first few weeks
or months. With our medical system so stressed, you may need the
help of specialists outside that system. At Murphy, Battista, we
set up and work with a team specially designed for you.
A typical medical team may start with an occupational therapist
- a trained and licensed health care professional who looks at the
impact of your injuries - at home, at work and at play.
This occupational therapist may work as a case manager to coordinate
all medical services, monitor the team, and help you deal with day-to-day
challenges.
In addition to the doctors who treat you, the team may include
a neuropsychologist who tests for changes in the way a person functions
- following a head injury. It could also include a physiotherapist,
chiropractor, counselor, vocational expert and, in the case of a
serious injury to a child, an educational expert.
The key to this medical team is we find
the specialists and therapists to ensure you get the help
you need.
Quality of Your Team
The quality of your medical and legal teams will affect your future
life - which is why you want to choose medical and legal
professionals who care about your outcome.
What Will this Cost? And Who Will Pay?
The cost of this medical team is part of your claim and is usually
covered by your financial settlement - and is money well spent.
We cover these expenses out of our own funds, and wait until your
case is over for repayment. Call us
if you have questions.
