Who Handles Your Medical Bills After a Chicago Car Accident?

The reality is that the at-fault insurance company doesn’t pay your bills as they arrive; they instead reimburse either you or your insurance company once your case has been resolved. Treatments after a Chicago car accident may last a year or more, meaning that you may have to contend with unpaid bills for an extended amount of time. In fact, in some cases, our clients have suffered catastrophic injuries that leave them unable to communicate information regarding their insurance policy and provider as they wait to receive treatment at the hospital ER. This usually means that we will have to work with family to get this information so that we make sure all bills are taken care of by their insurance provider.
