What Is A Letter Of Protection
Letter of Protection (LOP) from a law office is a legal document that assures medical providers that they will be paid for their services from any potential settlement or verdict in a personal injury case. It allows individuals to receive necessary medical treatment without upfront payment, with the understanding that the medical expenses will be covered once the case is resolved.
