A letter of protection is a document that is usually sent by a lawyer on a client’s behalf to a doctor or another medical professional. It basically states that the patient does not have adequate funding at the current time, but they are involved in a court case where the proceeds of the case will be used to satisfy the medical bill. The purpose of this letter is to offer the doctor some relief that the money he is owed will soon be paid in full. It also allows the doctor to stop bothering the patient for the outstanding payment.

Dear Dr Marano.

The purpose of this letter is to verify that we, Dash Law Firm, have taken on one of your recent clients injury claim cases.

You can be assured that when we do receive the cash settlement, any outstanding debts Wanda has with you, specifically file #734232, will be paid in full.
