By setting up a car accident claim through your auto insurance company, you can get compensation for your vehicle’s repair costs, medical expenses, and other damages. Though your insurance company can assist in paying for these expenses, resolving an accident claim takes considerable time.
It is likely you will face expenses immediately after a car wreck. Some bills may have to wait, but you have to receive medical attention as soon as possible. This leads many to wonder how are medical bills paid before a car wreck claim is resolved?
Your Coverage Limits and Insurance Policy
Your car insurance policy usually offers medical bill coverage up to a specific amount. In Alabama, the minimum coverage requirement for car insurance is $25,000 in bodily injury coverage per person, $50,000 in bodily injury coverage per accident, and $25,000 in property damage coverage. Throughout several policies, medical expenses are covered immediately. As long as the cost of your medical bills is under your coverage amount, they are usually covered.
Other Coverage Methods
When your car insurance does not cover all of your medical bills (or other car insurance expenses), there may be other ways for you to have coverage. Many times, health insurance will cover the medical expenses that car insurance will not cover. If you lack health insurance, you may be responsible for your medical bills out of pocket until your claim is finished.
What to do if your insurance company refuses to pay your medical bills after a car accident?
