After a serious offshore injury, Josh Tipton was denied the benefits he and his wife had paid for every month. Left to deal with mounting medical bills, pain, and debt collectors, Josh turned to Arnold & Itkin. In this video, Josh shares how the firm fought for him and his family, connected him with a doctor who took away his pain, and gave him his life back.
After an offshore injury turned Josh Tipton's life upside down, he expected the company to honor the benefits he had paid for. He and his wife had chosen the highest coverage available and paid into it every month without fail. When he needed it most, however, he was left with nothing.
"We paid religiously every month, but when it came time for me to draw my benefits, they denied me any benefits or any help."
When Josh turned to Arnold & Itkin, he found more than legal representation. He found people who were ready to go to work for him. Josh says Jason Itkin stood out immediately.
"When you meet him, you'll know why. He just takes all the breath out of the room when he walks in and he's negotiating for you. He's very professional, but on the other side, he's down-to-earth. Just a down-to-earth good ol' boy just like the rest of us. But when it comes down to game time, you want him on your team."
Arnold & Itkin connected Josh with a highly skilled doctor who was able to address his injuries and get him out of pain. The firm also fought to resolve the financial damage the denial of benefits had caused.
"I don't have to worry about unpaid doctor bills. I don't have to worry about a bill collector calling me and dogging me for unpaid debt. I'm not in pain anymore. I can continue my life as I used to before I was injured."
Josh is direct about what Arnold & Itkin meant for him and his family.
"They have given me my life back. They have really given me my life back and my family's life back. They fought tooth-and-nail for me and my family. Anytime we needed them, they were there."
