You have been injured in a motor vehicle collision and the other driver was clearly at fault.
The driver’s insurance company refuses to pay for your related medical bills.
What is going on?
The law does not mandate that the insurance company pay the bills while medical treatment continues.
At the completion of medical treatment the insurance company will have to pay for the bills and settle the case or face a lawsuit.
There are several ways to get the bills paid while you are waiting.
Seek payment through your group health insurance.
At the end of the case the auto insurance company will have to repay your group health insurance.
Seek payment from your medical payment coverage. Most insurance policies have money to pay for medical bills that can be used immediately.
At the end of the case the auto insurance company will have to repay your medical payment coverage.
Your challenge will be to get the medical treatment paid without waiting.
There are ways to do this. You must understand what each choice involves.
When you settle your case or receive your trial award you must pay your medical bills from the lump sum.
You may be able to reduce the medical bills after negotiating with medical providers.
This will help put more money in your pocket.
