Medical bills are a common point of confusion for persons involved in a personal injury claim. When someone is injured, it is important to receive prompt medical care.   You will probably start to receive medical bills for your medical treatment before you receive compensation for your injuries.

How to pay for these ongoing medical bills is a valid concern.

A personal injury case may eventually result in a significant monetary settlement or jury award, but you are typically responsible for payment of your medical bills.   If you have health insurance ask that the medical providers submit their bills to your health insurance.

Your medical treatment and the cost of that treatment will be part of the mathematical calculation used to determine the amount of actual damages in your personal injury claim.    It is difficult, but not impossible to obtain a settlement for injuries if you didn’t obtain medical treatment because the insurance company may argue that if your injuries are not bad enough for treatment they are probably not bad enough for compensation.  It is also a good idea to keep in mind that if you don’t pursue regular treatment, the insurance company will argue this pattern proves you weren’t seriously injured in the first place. If you do not have medical insurance, RS Law will work with the medical providers to assist them in filing a lien against the personal injury claim.
