E.U.O. INSTRUCTIONS TO CLIENT
The information contained in this letter and attachments is attorney-client privilege and confidential
information intended only for the use of the client to whom it was addressed.
Dear Client,
The insurance company that is responsible for paying your Personal Injury Protection (PIP) benefits is requesting to take an Examination Under Oath (EUO). At the EUO, an attorney or other representative from the insurance company will ask you questions about your accident, injuries, medical treatment, and other matters. It is very important that you attend the EUO. If you fail to attend, the insurance company will refuse to pay your medical expenses and wage loss. If you cannot attend this appointment, please contact my Legal Assistant below Immediately.
Mr. Harold Brito from my office will be present at the EUO. Mr. Brito will call you soon to help you prepare for the EUO.
Please follow all of the instructions below:
- Study the enclosed Examination Under Oath (EUO) Notice and make the necessary arrangements to attend the appointment on the date, time, and location contained in the Notice. You must be on time to your EUO.
- Review the enclosed “Common Questions” to get an idea of the type of questions you will be asked at the EUO.
- Please review the questions pertaining to your medical treatment with your doctor’s office before the EUO appointment. Please call my Legal Assistant below if you are not sure how to answer any of these questions or if you have any concerns about a specific question you think you may be asked.
- If the EUO Notice asks you to bring certain items with you to the EUO, only bring the items you actually have in your own possession. If you are asked at the EUO for any items you do not have, tell the examiner to ask your doctor(s) or attorney for those items.
- At the EUO, listen carefully to each question. Answer only what is being asked. Do not volunteer any additional information. Your answers should be very brief. If you can answer the question by simply saying “yes”, “no”, “I don’t remember”, or “I don’t know”, please do so. If you do not understand the question, ask the examiner to repeat or rephrase it. Do not answer any question with a guess. Do not answer any questions asking what you discussed with your attorney or his legal assistants (these communications are private). You do not have to answer any questions that ask about your arrest record, criminal history, or any other question you believe is too personal and not related to your auto accident.
PLEASE CONTACT MARIA OTERO (305) 556-1940, EXT 103 IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS.
Sincerely,
Isaac A. Velazquez
