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.
