Q: Looking for Wisconsin lawyer for NC wrongful death malpractice case.

A: If the wrongful death occurred in North Carolina by potential malpractice you will want to seek an attorney licensed in North Carolina.

A: I'm sorry about such a case materializing. By now you may have already been conducting searches for law firms. You could supplement your efforts with the "Find a Lawyer" tab above, which lists attorneys by practice area and region. You could also look into attorney referral sections of local and state bar associations. Both those resources fall outside this Q & A forum, so any terms would be between you and attorneys you reached out to. As a general note, most law firms that handle such cases work on contingency, and they usually offer free initial consults. Good luck

A: You’re asking a very important and practical question, especially when it comes to protecting your health and your finances after an accident. Since the other party’s insurance has accepted liability and you have a police report supporting your case, you have the right to seek medical treatment—even if it’s on your own—without waiting for their approval. The key is making sure that your treatment is directly related to the accident and that it's documented properly by your healthcare providers.

Insurance companies often reimburse medical expenses for reasonable and necessary treatment resulting from a covered accident, even if you chose your own doctor. That said, they may review the timing of your treatment and argue about whether the care was necessary or related to the crash. So it’s best to get checked out as soon as possible and let the provider know that your visit is due to an auto accident. Keep all records, receipts, and reports to strengthen your claim.

You don’t have to delay getting care out of fear it won’t be paid for. Your health comes first, and timely treatment can also support your claim. As long as your documentation is strong and the treatment is appropriate, the at-fault party’s insurer should be responsible for those costs. You’re doing the right thing by asking questions early—it helps you stay one step ahead.
