Same-Day MVA Appointments Available — No Insurance Required | Lien-Based TreatmentAttorney Referral Process for Personal Injury Cases
Merrillville Injury Care is a preferred medical partner for personal injury attorneys throughout Northwest Indiana and the greater Chicago area. We provide lien-based treatment, litigation-quality documentation, and multi-specialty care under one roof — making us a streamlined, reliable resource for attorneys managing MVA and personal injury caseloads.
Why Attorneys Refer to Merrillville Injury Care
Personal injury attorneys need a medical partner who understands the documentation requirements of litigation. Our physicians — orthopedic surgeon Dr. Bernard Rerri, MD and neurologist Dr. Julian Ungar-Sargon, MD, PhD — produce detailed causation analyses, mechanism-of-injury narratives, treatment summaries, and prognosis reports that strengthen settlement positions. We accept treatment on a medical lien basis, eliminating payment barriers for your clients and ensuring they receive the care needed to document the full extent of their injuries. Our multi-specialty model means your client can receive orthopedic evaluation, neurological assessment, interventional pain management, and physical therapy without fragmented referrals to multiple providers.
How the Referral Process Works
Step 1 — Initial Referral: Contact our office at (866) 264-0827 or submit a referral through our attorney intake form. Provide your client’s name, contact information, date of injury, and brief description of the accident.
Step 2 — Same-Day or Priority Scheduling: Acute injury cases are prioritized. We schedule your client within 24 hours of referral whenever possible, with same-day appointments available for urgent cases.
Step 3 — Lien Agreement Execution: Our team provides Indiana-compliant lien documentation (IC 32-33-2) for your review and signature. Treatment begins upon agreement execution.
Step 4 — Ongoing Communication: We provide regular updates on your client’s treatment progress, respond promptly to medical record requests, and notify your office of any significant clinical developments relevant to the case.
Step 5 — Documentation Delivery: At appropriate case milestones, we produce comprehensive medical narratives, causation reports, and prognosis statements formatted for use in demand packages and litigation.
Expert Witness & Testimony Services
When cases proceed to deposition or trial, Dr. Rerri and Dr. Ungar-Sargon are available to serve as expert witnesses.
