Letter of Protection (LOP)
Hurt in an accident that was not your fault? If you have a personal injury attorney, ER of Irving can treat you under a Letter of Protection. You get full emergency care now and pay from your settlement later. No upfront cost. Open 24/7 in Irving, near Las Colinas and Valley Ranch.
A Letter of Protection, or LOP, is a written agreement between you, your personal injury attorney, and ER of Irving. Your attorney sends us the letter. It promises that your emergency bill will be paid from the money you recover in your case.
This lets you get care right away, even if you cannot pay at the time of your visit. You focus on healing. Your attorney handles the paperwork. We document everything your case needs.
Freestanding emergency care built for accident recovery and the documentation your case needs.
No appointment needed. Our team begins your evaluation promptly, any hour of the day or night.
CT, X-ray, ultrasound, and lab work happen in one visit, so your injuries are documented the same day.
We prepare physician notes, imaging reports, and clinical records with the detail injury claims require.
ER of Irving is open 24 hours a day, 365 days a year, including weekends and holidays.
A Letter of Protection applies when another party's negligence caused your injuries and you have legal representation.
Whiplash, fractures, head injuries, and internal trauma from auto and commercial vehicle crashes.
High-impact injuries from motorcycle wrecks and rideshare collisions as a driver or passenger.

Falls, machinery injuries, and other on-the-job trauma tied to a third-party claim.
