Can I make the liable drivers insurance company pay my medical bills before the claim is settled?

I suffered a back and neck injury from a car accident and have submitted claims, which are still under determination. I want to know whether I can force the at-fault insurance company to pay my medical bills before the claim is settled.

Answers

If you reside in a no-fault jurisdiction, you may have your medical bills paid immediately while your claims are being evaluated. This benefit is available to anyone injured in a car accident, even if that person is at fault. The recoverable compensation varies from state to state but usually includes: medical treatment, property damage, physical therapy, and wage loss.

Note that this list is not exhaustive but represents the most common recoveries. Medical bills arising from a car accident injury should be paid by your insurance company or the at-fault insurance company. If in the interim you have covered the bills out of your own pocket, you then have a right to pursue reimbursement from either insurer.

Talk to an Attorney experienced in car accident liability to determine whether you live in a no-fault jurisdiction and how much compensation, including medical, you are due.
