Question:

Who is going to pay for my medical bills after a car accident in Southwest Florida?

Answer:

The person that’s responsible for paying your medical bills after you’re involved in a car crash in Florida would be the at-fault driver. There are certain other things that go into that question, though, in terms of what insurance coverages is available both to you through your own insurance policy and available through the at-fault driver. That’s why it’s incredibly important to hire someone who specializes in personal injury law to represent you when you’re injured in a motor vehicle crash, because that attorney has the specialized knowledge to make sure that they are maximizing your recovery and any potential sources of insurance coverage or recovery for you. If you have questions about your injury claim or have questions about insurance coverage, please call us.

Question:

How does my car insurance work for medical bills in Florida?

Answer:

We are in a no-fault state (Florida), meaning the first $10,000 in your medical bills are paid by your own insurance company (as long as you have insurance and seek treatment within 14 days of the accident). So that happens no matter what, even if you're not at fault. That's nice, because you're guaranteed to get that first $10,000 in medical care. The tricky thing is, after that first $10,000, the person at fault to the accident has responsibility for the rest.  The insurance company has dedicated people for this, their whole job is to try to short you, and pay the least amount of money they can. It's a tricky situation with car accidents, and that's why you should really call an attorney right away.  Give us a call or just CLICK, we handle this type of case basically everyday.
