PROGRESS BEING MADE ON BREAST CANCER CLAIMS

ST. JOHN’S LAWYER CHES CROSBIE STATED TODAY THAT PROGRESS IS BEING MADE TOWARD SETTLING HUNDREDS OF CLAIMS ON BEHALF OF MEMBERS OF THE BREAST CANCER TESTING CLASS ACTION.  HUNDREDS OF CHARTS HAVE TO BE REVIEWED BY EXPERTS FOR BOTH SIDES.  “THIS IS A LOT OF WORK AND IS ONGOING AS WE SPEAK,” SAID CROSBIE. 

 THE PURPOSE OF THE REVIEW IS “TO ARRIVE AT AN UNDERSTANDING OF THE INJURIES THE PATIENTS ACTUALLY SUFFERED, WHICH IS A COMPLICATED EXERCISE,” HE EXPLAINED.  “AS PATTERNS EMERGE, THE INSURANCE COMPANY LAWYERS AND WE WILL ATTEMPT TO AGREE ON WAYS TO SIMPLIFY THE PROCESS,” CROSBIE SAID.

 EACH SIDE HAS A TEAM OF CANCER SPECIALISTS DOING CHART REVIEWS.

 “ENCOURAGEMENT FROM THE PREMIER IS ALWAYS WELCOME” SAID CROSBIE, “BUT THE MASSIVE AMOUNT OF WORK NEEDED TO SETTLE THIS CLAIM IS ALREADY UNDERWAY.”

 “I CAN’T SAY THIS ABOUT EVERY INSURANCE COMPANY” THE LAWYER ALLOWED, “BUT I’VE ALWAYS FOUND EASTERN HEALTH INSURER HIROC REASONABLE TO DEAL WITH.  THEY TAKE RESPONSIBILITY WHEN THE CASE AGAINST THEM IS STRONG, AND WHILE THEY DON’T GIVE MONEY AWAY, THEY DON’T NICKEL AND DIME ON SETTLEMENT EITHER.”
