Legal Question in Personal Injury in Indiana
auto accident
My wife was rear ended august 1. The insurance company of the other auto admitted fault and have paid most of the bills. We have been turned over to a collection agency on 2 of the medical bills. All we get are promises to pay and 6 months later our credit suffers for it. What recourse do we have?

Re: auto accident
You can do two things; in no particular order, you can file with your own auto insurer under your medical payments provision, the other, sue the other driver. The quickest is the first. Since this is an auto accident, your insurer must pay up to the limits for medical care related to the accident. You can also file for benefits under any medical insurance that you may have.
If the injuries are ongoing, you should probably hire an attorney.
Good luck.

You can file a claim with the court for the money you are due. You can even get court costs, etc. usually you can get an agreement by the collection company that they will not report any negative on your report if you get it paid once you explain. If they don't you can always challenge it with the credit bureaus.
