How Will My Medical Bills Be Paid?
You may have staggering medical bills from an ambulance ride, emergency room visit, doctors’ appointments, physical therapy sessions and more. As time goes on, medical expenses can become overwhelming and bill collectors are coming at you left and right. However, while it may feel hopeless right now, you have options to rectify the situation. There are various ways you may be able to seek payment for medical expenses in a personal injury case.
We can help to push your claim through and seek compensation from:
- The party who is liable
- Your private health insurance
- “Med-pay” through your own car insurance policy
- Medicare, Medi-Cal and other types of government insurance
- Homeowner’s or renter’s policies
- Doctors who offer medical liens
After your case, your health insurance company may seek reimbursement for medical payments from the proceeds.
Answering Frequent Personal Injury Questions
It’s normal to be overwhelmed after an injury, no matter the cause. Whether you were in a car crash or suffered a slip and fall, you deserve to have an attorney on your side who can answer your questions and help you seek compensation. Let us provide some clarity to the most common questions we receive from clients:
What should I do immediately after a California personal injury accident?
Knowing what to do after an accident helps you protect yourself and your interests. Here’s what to remember:
- Call the police immediately after your accident: It’s crucial to report your accident to the authorities so there is a record of the incident that you can use when you pursue a claim. The police can send an ambulance if you or anyone else has been injured by the event.
- Get information of the involved parties: This includes getting contact information, insurance information and even eyewitness information of the accident.
- Document the accident site: Taking photos or videos of the location of the accident can help you build a strong case when pursuing a claim.
- Seek medical attention as soon as possible: Don’t wait to visit a hospital if you’re injured after your accident. Many injuries aren’t visibly obvious and you may be seriously injured without even realizing it.
- Contact an attorney: Working with a personal injury attorney can help you seek the compensation you deserve for your injuries and hold the negligent party responsible for their actions.
At Scolinos, Sheldon & Nevell LLP, we know how to handle these cases and will take the lead after your accident to get you the compensation you need.
What types of compensation can I expect to receive from a personal injury case?
Pursuing a personal injury claim can help you seek the following types of compensation:
- Economic compensation: This includes the coverage of medical bills, lost wages and property damage.
- Noneconomic compensation: This includes your pain and suffering, or the emotional distress caused by your accident and injuries.
- Punitive compensation: Punitive damages are sometimes awarded if the other party’s behaviors were deemed especially reckless, negligent or intentional. It is typically awarded as a punishment for the defendant.
Our personal injury attorneys aggressively fight to get you maximum compensation in every eligible category. We will build a strong case that will seek compensation to cover the entire scope of your injuries and resulting damages, and hold the negligent party responsible.
Do I need to go to court for my personal injury case?
It depends. Many personal injury cases are resolved through aggressive negotiations and settlements. Our attorneys will thoroughly investigate your case and negotiate with the other party’s legal team to achieve a settlement that covers your injuries, property damage, and pain and suffering.
However, if a favorable settlement is unachievable, we are ready and committed to go to trial. We have years of experience presenting personal injury cases in front of judges and juries, and will fight to get you what you deserve.
