I tell all my clients that if they have been injured in any kind of an accident or slip and fall to save their prescription receipts. I assure them that if they bring me their receipts, I will get them their money back. After all, the at-fault party is required to reimburse you for the full cost of your prescriptions and the automobile no-fault or PIP Carrier is required to reimburse you promptly for your prescription co-pays. From time to time my client will tell me that the prescription “only” cost them ten dollars ($10.00) and that they do not want me to worry about it. I tell them that the ten dollars can go to them or the ten dollars can go to the insurance company. I would much prefer that the ten dollars go to them. However, that is not the real reason I want the prescription. The real reason is that it helps me to demonstrate how badly they were hurt. How badly were they hurt? They were so hurt that they had to take prescription medicine.
