Get Your Injury Bills Paid

Dirk May Help, Illinois, Law, Lawyers ,

Here are some tips to get your medical bills paid in an Illinois motor vehicle collision case.

The at fault driver’s insurance will usually not pay any medical bills until the case is settled.

You will want to get your bills for injury related treatment as soon as possible to avoid credit issues and finance charges.

If you have health insurance you may submit the bills for payment.

If you have medical payment coverage through your automobile insurance you may submit the bills for payment.

At the conclusion of the case you will repay your health insurance or your automobile insurance from the settlement proceeds.

The advantage of this approach is that it gets your bills paid promptly and often times your insurance companies will agree to reduced repayment amount.

Social Security looks at your ability to function and attempts to apply it to the work setting.

Several ways to document your problems with daily functions are as follows:

  • Ask your doctor to complete a driver’s disability placard form from the Secretary of State. Make sure you ask for a copy of the completed form to provide to Social Security.
  • Ask your doctor to document any assistive device with a prescription, such as a cane, brace or walker.
  • If your doctor recommends elevating your legs or only lifting a certain amount of weight, ask the doctor to put it in writing for you.
  • Keep a simple log of headaches, seizures and their severity and length of time you are incapacitated.

Social Security is all about your medical records so make sure that you have official documentation of your problems.

Any objective testing will also help. This includes xrays, MRIs, EMGs, breathing tests, or heart tests.
