Legal Question in Personal Injury in Wisconsin

Yes, the medical bills that still remain unpaid would normally be your responsibility. If the settlement is from the guilty driver's company, you would need to reimburse insurers who paid any medical bills for you, pursuant to WI subrogation laws, unless those companies had already been recovered their own separate settlement or verdict against the at fault party. If the settlement is from your own insurance company (because the at fault party was uninsured), then the same thing might be true, because those bills would already be considered in the amount that they paid, with the expectation that you would then need to pay them. Talk to your personal injury attorney about that details, since he or she might still be able to negotiate a discount for you.
