Advice
for Victims of Personal Injuries:
Free Consultation Regarding Claims
and Medical Payments
Even where someone suffers personal injuries because of the
fault of another person, the injured victim's major medical insurance benefits, medical
payments coverage under their auto policy, Medicare, or other (first party) health
insurance benefits still provide coverage.
Some insurance
carriers try to deny these personal injury claims...
Although some insurance carriers try to deny claims, the
fact that someone else is ultimately responsible for the damages suffered by
the claimant, is no excuse for not paying the medical expenses as they are incurred.
Obviously, any policy requirements of the victim's health insurance must be followed.
Essentially the victim first obtains coverage and payment
of medical expenses through their own first party health insurance benefits. However, the
party who pays the victim's medical expenses has a right of subrogation against the
ultimate tortfeasor.
A victim of personal injuries has nothing to lose and much
to gain by contacting us
for a free legal consultation concerning an accident or personal injuries claim.
The responsible party will only pay the bills
as part of the final resolution of the claim...
Why then if someone else is ultimately responsible for
these medical expenses, should a victim present these bills to their own first party
health insurance? For two reasons: 1) To have the bills paid now, because the ultimately
responsible party will only pay the bills as part of the final resolution of the claim;
and 2) the attorney will handle the subrogation claim of the first party health insurance
company and obtain funds for them as part of the victim's settlement, and in the process,
will most likely be able to negotiate a reduction of the amount originally paid by the
first party insurance company.
Our law firm will
resolve all medical liens associated with any claim we are handling for a client.
What if the party who has experienced
personal injuries does not have any first
party health insurance to pay their medical expenses? Then the injured person must either
pay the medical bills himself or request that the health care provider take a medical
lien against the victim's claims against any tortfeasors. Our law firm will resolve
all medical liens associated with any claim we are handling for a client.
