Handling Medical Bills After a Car Accident

Getting Medical Bills Paid After a Car Accident

For many clients, getting medical bills paid after a car accident is a tremendous concern, and receiving bill after bill from medical care providers can cause a tremendous amount of stress. We can understand the various means by which your medical bills may be paid after a car accident. First, it is important to understand that the at-fault party’s insurance company will only make 1 payment to you, and it is from that 1 payment that all of your medical bills will be paid. So, if you receive a payment from the at-fault party’s insurance company and you need more medical care after the payment, you – not the insurer of the at-fault party – will be responsible for the payment. The settlement or judgment you receive will need to be sufficient to pay all of your medical expenses resulting from the car accident.

      • Your health insurance is the most common potential source of payment for medical bills after a car accident.

This will save you a tremendous amount of money that would otherwise come out of your settlement or judgment.
      • Medical payments coverage under your auto insurance policy is a potential source of payment for medical bills after a car accident.
