Linda, if the question focuses on a contract that mat not have been fully executed, then the answer depends in part on whether the parties, you and the PA, acted consistent with the terms of the contract. If the PA performed consistent with the agreement and the question is whether the contract does not have to be honored because you did not receive an executed copy of the report, then, and without having the opportunity to review the agreement or the work performed, it is likely you will have to honor. It appears that a fully executed copy of the report exists, you can request from the insurance company or PA. Thank you.
