Legal Question in Personal Injury in Illinois

Paying for the medical bills is not the same as an admission of liability.

Your question has many answers, all of them depending on the specific facts of your case. You need to consult with an attorney to discuss in detail the factual elements of your case to figure out whether or not the party you think is at fault is in fact liable. You may contact my office if you have any more questions.

I hope this helps-

The medical bills were likely paid under a medical payments provision in the insurance policy, which does not require a showing of fault.

They do it every day. As my colleague explained, most commercial property policies have a med pay provision which allows them to pay $5,000.00 or $10,000.00 WITHOUT admitting liability.

At this juncture, you need experienced counsel. Consultations are without cost or obligation. Don't delay!
