Car Accident Medical Bill Payments

Answer:

If you are in an accident and have substantial medical bills, who is going to pay for that? In fact, a potential client called and asked one of our attorneys that question just last week. Here’s what the attorney explained; one, you’re not at fault in this accident. You think you shouldn’t have to pay for any of these medical bills. The insurance company isn’t paying for it, so what does that mean? You’re left high and dry, so to speak.

That can happen if you don’t have a law firm on your side. As the attorney explained, first of all, if we refer you to any medical expert or most medical experts, then they’re going to agree to wait to be paid until your case is settled. Some of our medical experts will even do what we do, which is say if there isn’t any recovery, you don’t owe us a penny. Then you can just have peace of mind. As far as the medical bills, it actually can be, as our attorney explained to the potential client, to your benefit to use your health insurance. If you’re not at fault, who should you be using your health insurance? As the attorney explained, there’s a couple reasons why, but call us and we’ll always give you an analysis of your particular situation. In general, if your health insurance pays your medical bills and the bill is $10,000, they’ll typically pay $3,000. Do they need to be paid back? Sometimes they do. Sometimes they don’t. That’s another reason to call us and we can tell you about that. Even if you have to pay them back, it’s going to be a lot less than the original bill. That’s another reason for having a law firm represent you because we can almost 100% of the time negotiate the repayment amounts down to put more money in your pocket. If you don’t have a law firm, you have to pay whatever they say. They can file liens. Hospitals can file liens against you and things like that. We negotiate those down. I hope you understand then that we can make sure your bills get paid and you get paid for pain and suffering. We do have a policy that we make sure that our clients always get more than we do. They always get more in their pocket. You don’t have to worry about a situation where everybody got paid except the most important party, which is you. Remember, the call is free. The information is free. We are here to make sure that things turn out best for you.
