Legal Question in Personal Injury in California

im in the middle of an personal injury settlement. I had surgery and my bill came to 91.000. my insurance covered 24.000 because the hospital was in the network. My question is do i claim the entire 91.000 for medical expenses or just the 24.000 on my medical expenses for the personal settlement.

If the hospital accepted $24k as full payment then under California law you will only be able to claim the $24k.

Remember that your health insurer has a lien on your recovery.
