What Is a Letter of Representation in a Personal Injury Case?
In a personal injury case in North Carolina, a letter of representation is a document that notifies medical providers, insurance companies, or any third party that an attorney is handling a client’s claim. This document serves as an official confirmation that communications and requests concerning the case should be sent to the law firm. In North Carolina, following proper documentation guidelines is crucial and helps protect your legal rights. The letter outlines our role in obtaining the necessary records and verifying information, such as outstanding balances or account details. It also confirms that the client’s interests are being professionally and diligently represented under the applicable North Carolina law. Always check with your local county office for any special requirements, as practices may vary between counties like Wake or Mecklenburg. For further context on proper legal procedures in our state, you can review North Carolina General Statutes.
