Medical bills are a troubling issue for most individuals who have been involved in an accident that was not their fault. The emergency room hospital bills alone often add up to thousands of dollars. If you have been involved in an accident, a Thousand Oaks injury lawyer can help you deal with your medical issues, especially prior to settlement.
Medical Bills in California
The insurance company for the party responsible for the accident should pay for all of your
medical bills. This is why the state of California requires all motorists to carry liability insurance. But before the case settles or goes to court, the only person responsible for your medical bills is you. If you do not have health insurance to help you pay your bills prior to settlement, your Thousand Oaks injury lawyer can help you create a medical lien, provided that you sign documents stating that you will pay the bills once your case has settled.
On the other hand, if you have health insurance, you should submit your medical bills for your insurance carrier to handle. In most cases, they will be reimbursed upon settlement of your personal injury claim.
