OUR MISSION IS TO PROVIDE A PLACE that will alleviate all of your concerns allowing the attorney and their staff to concentrate on the legal work necessary to achieve the best outcome for their injured client. Surgicare is prepared to provide funding of costly medical treatments, such as surgeries and hospitalization, through the purchase of personal injury liens from medical providers.
