You may have to make arrangements with the court for the purposes of paying the hospital bills.

I believe if the settlement is under $9k or $10k, can't recall right off the top of my head; then no conservatorship is required. Why the hospital would be saying they can't get paid until the case is settled isn't very clear. If you have health insurance covering your son then it should pay without waiting for any settlement. Is your son represented by a lawyer? If not why not? If he is why isn't the lawyer answering these questions?
