Injury Accidents and Medical Bills

11/29/2008

Your inability to pay medical bills to get that treatment you need and deserve should never be the reason to actually not be treated after being involved in a car accident or any other injury incident - especially if you know that there is likely to be an insurance coverage by the party at fault. Hundreds of persons injured in the car, motorcycle and other accidents in San Francisco decide not to seek medical treatment because they don't have health insurance and their inability to pay for medical treatment out of pocket.

Many San Francisco injury lawyers, however, have established relationship with doctors who treat injured persons on a lien basis - that is, the doctor accept the risk of paying paid only if and when their patient's injury claim is settled. This means that you are likely to not be required to pay any out-of-pocket expenses until your injury case settles.

If you are unable to pay medical bills and get the treatment for your injuries, this is exactly the time when you should consider hiring a an experienced San Francisco injury lawyer. An attorney will likely refer you to the doctor or several physicians who will be willing to treat you on a lien basis (that is, they agree to be paid only if and when your injury claim settles). Later, when your claim settles, your attorney will be able to negotiate your medical charges with the providers and substantially reduce them, to make sure that you receive greater recovery in your claim.

I like what you said about assessing your treatment on a lien basis. I need to get a personal attorney to defend my sister in court. She is being charged for fraud.

I was injured in an accident, and I'm not sure what to do about it. It makes sense that I might want to get a professional to help me out with this. I can see how a personal injury lawyer could help me ensure that I get the help me out with this.

It's interesting to know that having a motorcycle accident lawyer will not require you to pay for any out-of-pocket expenses until the case is settled. I will make sure that I will be hiring a lawyer who specializes in that area in case I get into a situation like that. It will be for my own peace of mind regarding getting what I deserve, especially when I am sure that I am not at fault.
