Why You Need the Law Offices of Dianne Sawaya
Emma W. was injured on U.S. Postal Service property. After getting chiropractic care, the 82-year-old woman and her chiropractor filled out a federal form asking for reimbursement and sent it to the Postal Service. The U.S.P.S. sent Emma a check for a little over $7,000, enough to pay her medical bills. Dianne Sawaya met with Emma and advised her not to cash the check, knowing she could get Emma more money than that. Dianne returned the check to the government, along with a new demand letter outlining the extent of Emma’s injuries. The Postal Service agreed and sent a check that allowed Emma to keep $3,000 after all her medical bills and other expenses were paid.
Settlement: $17,500
