Legal Question in Personal Injury in California

It is your obligation to get the bill paid somehow. Typically, the hospital is glad to bill the insurance since it is faster for them.

If you have an injury you need to retain an attorney to recover compensation not only for medical bills for you but also for pain and suffering and loss of wages. Feel free to call us at 213.388.7070 for a free consultation.

The fact that one of the drivers involved in the accident had auto insurance is not the same as your having medical insurance. The auto insurance carrier will never ever pay a nickel until you retain an attorney to file a lawsuit on your behalf. In the meantime you should not be in a hurry to pay the hospital bill. Your competent attorney will negotiate a settlement of your medical bills at the end of the case, and in all probability he or she will be able to find you a doctor who can render any necessary follow-up treatment on a lien basis (you would not have to pay until your claim is resolved). Also in all probability you will be able to retain an attorney on a contingent fee basis (you would not have to pay the attorney except from any monetary recovery from the insurance company). Move quickly and watch out for legal time limits!

Hospitals do not have to bill insurance but most do.. If they refuse to bill your medical insurance, get a copy of the bill and submit it yourself to your insurance. For a free consultation, feel free to contact us at www.lawkuhn.com
