Slocumb Law Firm understands that your immediate concerns after an accident are paying medical bills, receiving compensation for lost wages, and making sure your insurance company will pay for future treatment relating to your injury. We will work with insurance companies and other parties involved in your case to make sure all your needs are handled quickly and appropriately.
Generally, medical bills are not paid until the time your case is settled. However, if you have Personal Injury Protection or Medical Payments Coverage under your automobile insurance policy, you may be able to pay your medical bills as they are incurred by making a claim against your own coverage. Also, if you have health insurance, your medical bills may be paid as incurred by your health insurance company.
If the other driver is at fault and has liability insurance, you may have the right to collect money damages to compensate you for your past and future medical bills, lost wages, pain and suffering, disfigurement, and physical impairment. If the at-fault driver does not have insurance, you may be entitled to collect money damages from your own insurance company if you purchased Uninsured Motorist Insurance Coverage.
