Yost v. Farmers Ins. Grp., PICS Case No. 16-1146 (C.P. Monroe July 21, 2016) Williamson, J. (5 pages).

By | September 23, 2016
Injuries deriving from a car accident led to neck fusion surgery and continued chiropractic care. The insurer sought a peer review of the claim and called it unnecessary, and the injured and her medical treatment provider filed suit for payment of the bills plus legal fees. Insurers objected to the legal fees and filed a preliminary objection. The court clarified the differing issues involving the timing of the request and determined the question of legal fees could not be decided before trial. Preliminary objections were denied.
