If you were injured in a crash, the at-fault driver’s insurance company should ultimately pay for your medical treatment. Unfortunately, depending on the facts of your case, collecting your personal injury settlement or verdict can take a long time. Many victims are unsure who pays the medical bills that accrue while they wait for their personal injury result.
When you hire an attorney, your legal team can negotiate medical liens with health providers. When a doctor agrees to a lien, they will treat your injuries now and accept payment later when you receive a favorable verdict or settlement. In addition, your personal health insurance coverage can be used to cover your medical expenses.
