How to pay medical bills is one of the questions that I usually get from my clients that have been involved in a car accident.

And then they tell me:

‘Well, I have heard that the insurance company for the other driver will pay all of my medical bills and they have to pay them as they come.’

Well, that’s not entirely true.

The very first question in any car accident case in the Saint Louis area is:

‘Whose fault is it?’

If it’s determined that the other driver had a fault, then his insurance company will accept liability and they will pay for your damages.

So, the question is: ‘What are Your damages?’

One part of those damages is your medical bills.

So, the insurance company will pay for your medical bills. However, it’s not true that they will pay them as they come.

They will actually pay them at the end of the case, once you have completed your treatment, once all the other damages have been determined and you send all of that information to the insurance company.

Watch out if you’ve got private health insurance, because in some instances your private health insurance company may be entitled to get some of the money back that they have paid for your medical care that was related to the car accident.
