Steps to Compensation


  • 1. Seek Treatment for COPD

    The most critical step in COPD management is seeking timely treatment. Some may underestimate the importance of medical evaluation, assuming no immediate symptoms. However, even without initial discomfort, untreated COPD can lead to severe complications later on. Furthermore, neglecting medical care can impact your chances of receiving compensation for COPD-related expenses. Insurance companies may question the severity of your condition if treatment is delayed, potentially jeopardizing your reimbursement.

  • 2. Contact Hogan Smith

    In managing COPD, seeking legal advice can be essential to cover the expenses of ongoing medical care or frequent hospital visits. Even if you choose not to retain an attorney, consulting one is advisable. You may be unaware of critical regulations like statutes of limitations, setting a lawsuit filing deadline. No matter the perceived severity of your situation, navigating COPD-related claims can be more complex than anticipated.

  • 3. File a Claim

    The third step is to inform the party responsible for your condition and their insurance company about your intention to file a claim. This notification can be initiated either by you or your attorney, and it may sometimes expedite the resolution of your COPD-related claim for compensation.he third step is to inform the party responsible for your condition and their insurance company about your intention to file a claim. This notification can be initiated either by you or your attorney, and it may sometimes expedite the resolution of your COPD-related claim for compensation.

  • 4. Gather Documents/Evidence

    It's crucial to collect your medical bills and records from healthcare providers. Discuss the complete scope of your COPD-related injuries with them and determine the ongoing care required. Additionally, gather bills or estimates for any property damage, track lost wages, and compile all relevant documentation related to your COPD condition.

  • 5. Settlement Negotiation

    Your COPD lawyer will take charge of communicating with the liable parties and their insurers to pursue a settlement. If the negotiated settlement is satisfactory to you and your attorney, you can accept it. However, if the responsible party fails to make a fair counteroffer, you may choose to file a lawsuit to pursue the rightful compensation you deserve for your COPD-related expenses.

  • 6. File a Lawsuit

    If our COPD attorneys are unable to secure a settlement with the responsible parties, we initiate a lawsuit through the courts. In the event that your COPD case proceeds to trial, we will present compelling evidence, and the judge and jury will determine the appropriate compensation for your situation.

Proving Fault


Proving tobacco companies' fault is crucial in COPD cases. We gather evidence of their deliberate actions, such as targeting youth with flavored products and concealing health risks. We compile medical records, expert testimonies, and industry documents to build a compelling case. It's important to hold these companies accountable for your suffering.

  • What is COPD?

    Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) is a progressive lung disease characterized by increasing breathlessness, frequent coughing, wheezing, and tightness in the chest. It primarily encompasses two main conditions: emphysema and chronic bronchitis. COPD has several etiological factors, but the most significant and preventable among them is cigarette smoking. Smoking induces an inflammatory response in the lungs, leading to the destruction of alveoli, the small air sacs responsible for oxygen exchange, and narrowing of the airways, which causes obstructed airflow. Prolonged exposure to the harmful chemicals in tobacco smoke damages the lung tissues irreversibly, increasing the risk of developing COPD. In fact, it's estimated that up to 85% of all COPD cases are caused by tobacco smoking. Furthermore, the severity of COPD symptoms and the rate of disease progression are often directly correlated with the duration and intensity of one's smoking history. The best preventive measure against COPD is abstaining from smoking and avoiding exposure to tobacco smoke.

  • Is Florida a no fault or fault state?

    Florida has no-fault car insurance laws. This means that regardless of who caused the collision, drivers are required to have personal injury protection insurance (PIP) to cover their medical costs and other accident-related liabilities. There are limitations on when you can claim compensation from another party due to the no-fault rule.
