Who Pays Medical Bills After a Car Accident?

The question comes up a lot of who was to pay the medical bills in a personal injury case. And a lot of times people think if it wasn’t my fault, my insurance shouldn’t pay for the medical bills. But unfortunately, when the at-fault insurance company is involved, they’re not going to pay anything until you’ve signed a settlement release. So part of what we offer is helping you figure out who should be paying the medical bills and how they should be paid in order to maximize your recovery. And if health insurance should be paying the bills, then it is important that that’s done timely because there are deadlines for that.

If the bill is not submitted to health insurance, usually within 90 days, then health insurance doesn’t have to pay. And sometimes people get stuck with a really big bill because they just didn’t know what to do and they assumed that the at fault insurance company was going to take care of the bills. Our Indianapolis personal injury lawyer team can help you with these claims and ensure you don’t get stuck with the medical bill.
