So, you've gotten hurt,
you've gone to the clinic,
you've gotten a few official pieces of paper from the insurance company,
you're off work for more than three days,
and you're not getting any money yet and what does that mean? Well, it means that
they have not yet decided are they admitting liability.
If you get that notice of contest
that could be the time that you want to talk to a lawyer.
They have said
that they are contesting your claim.
They may be doing it because they want to get some more information,
they may feel like they want to find out if you've ever hurt that part of your
body previously,
so they're going to send releases to
every doctor you've seen for the last five years
to find out if you've hurt your back or your arm or whatever body part
you've hurt in this accident.
They want to make sure that they know
that this accident happened,
on the day it happened, the way it happened,
and that you don't have some ongoing problem with that part of your body that
is now cropped up again.
