Court Orders Client to Pay $8,200 for Medical Rights Assistance After Receiving 91% Disability
A man who received a 91% disability rating and income tax exemption after using a medical rights company must pay the company $8,200 in fees, a court has ruled. The client had initially paid $1,500 to Orpez Medical Rights Realization for services related to the National Insurance Institute and the Tax Authority. During the process, he provided the company with his National Insurance login credentials.
After securing the disability benefits and tax exemption, the client refused to pay the agreed-upon success fee of $8,200, leading Orpez to initiate enforcement proceedings. The client claimed his signature on the contract was forged and that the company did nothing to help him, asserting that the contract was never validly formed because he never paid the success fee. He also stated he expected to receive monetary compensation for his conditions, not just a tax exemption.
The court dismissed the forgery claim, noting the client failed to bring in a handwriting expert. The court also rejected his argument that the contract was invalid due to his dissatisfaction with the outcome, stating that receiving exactly what was agreed upon, even if the result was less than expected, does not invalidate a contract. The court found that the company had provided the agreed-upon services, including gathering medical information, explaining the process, and submitting applications.
The court ordered the client to pay the $8,200 success fee, plus $1,500 in legal costs and $6,000 for the company's attorney fees, totaling approximately $15,700. The ruling was issued on August 27, 2026.
