Why Surgery Cases Are Worth More

Surgery indicates a serious injury that insurance companies cannot easily dismiss. Surgical cases also involve higher medical costs and longer recovery.

  • Objective evidence of serious injury
  • Higher medical expenses
  • Longer recovery periods
  • Greater pain and suffering
  • Permanent changes to your body
  • Ongoing care needs
