Who is responsible for paying for my medical treatment resulting from the automobile accident?
You are always responsible for the payment of your medical bills. However, you may be entitled to recover the amount of your medical bills and other compensation if your injuries resulted from the negligence of another person. You should not expect the responsible person’s insurance company to pay your medical bills as you incur them. Usually, the insurance company will not make a settlement offer until you have completed all of your medical treatment. Further, it may be advisable for you not to make a settlement offer until you have reached maximum medical improvement. Therefore, you should always file claims with your health insurance provider, including Medicaid/Medicare, to ensure that most of your bills are paid on time to avoid derogatory credit reports. If you do not have health insurance or Medicaid/Medicare, you should arrange a payment plan with your health care providers until your settlement is final in order to preserve your credit rating. Even if someone else is at fault
