Legal Question in Personal Injury in Georgia
I was in a not at fault accident last fall that totalled my car. I have completed 9 months of treatments on injury and am now gathering stuff up to settle. I have statements from providers that show what what they billed to my insurance company and what my insurance company paid (and to whom I am now under subrogation). Question is whether I need to get "clean" statements of only billed charges, and/or if at-fault insurance company can even consider the lower amount reimbursed to my providers due to in-network writeoffs?

You should use the "clean" billing statements and not your EOB's. If your case were to proceed to trial, EOB's would not be admissible. The jury would only see the full charges and not allowed to know whether or not you had insurance. For this reason, the insurance company should be forced to negotiate your case value based on full charges.
