Marlowe Law

Everyone was very helpful and got me a great settlement. Would definitely recommend Marlowe Law! Heather was on top of everything, did a great job and very kind.

I was involved in a car accident and initially opened a case with Hughes & Coleman. Due to the length of my medical treatment and the time required to extend the case in the system, it was later transferred to Marlowe Law, who ultimately helped bring it to completion.

The process took a significant amount of time, partly because these cases move slowly through the proper legal and insurance channels. Marlowe did call regularly, about once a month, to provide updates, which I appreciated. In total this process took a little less than 2 years to close following the accident.

In the end, my settlement was higher than what the insurance company initially offered, which does suggest that pursuing the claim was worthwhile. However, a substantial portion of my medical care was not included in the settlement. I later learned this was because I had not specifically asked my providers to document that my treatment was related to a car accident. As a result, certain records were excluded during negotiations. While the car accident was discussed verbally in all healthcare appointments, those details didn't necessarily make their way into a medical record.

This was an incredibly confusing process to navigate and came with several disappointments. Looking back, I now understand how important documentation is from the very beginning. If you are ever involved in an accident, seek medical care immediately, even if you feel fine at first. Be explicit with every provider that you are being treated due to a motor vehicle accident and ask them to clearly document that in your records.

This is one of those experiences where hindsight brings clarity. I hope I am never in this situation again, but I also believe clients would benefit greatly from more proactive guidance at the start of the process, rather than learning critical lessons along the way.

I would recommend Marlowe Law but I would encourage clients to keep expectations managed in terms of payout and timeframe.
