What to Do After a Car Accident With No Health Insurance

An attorney can help you get your medical bills paid

If you do not have health insurance and you are injured in a car accident, there are several options available to help you get the medical treatment you need.

First, if your injuries are a medical emergency, you can go to an emergency room. The ER is required by law to provide emergency medical treatment regardless of the patient’s ability to pay. However, remember that you will still be billed for these services, and remember that the ER is only required to stabilize you. They are allowed to refuse to provide additional care beyond what is necessary to deal with your medical emergency. Also, remember that these laws only apply to emergency rooms, not urgent care centers.

If you are hurt in a car accident and don’t have health insurance, your lawyer may be able to negotiate a “treat now, pay later” arrangement with your healthcare providers known as an attorney’s medical lien. This is essentially an agreement that you will be treated with no up-front payment and your medical providers will be paid out of your eventual settlement or lawsuit. Your attorney may also be able to negotiate with your medical providers to accept less payment for your care, so that you can keep more of your settlement.

Finally, if you are injured in a car accident that was caused by someone else's negligence or wrongdoing, you may be able to seek compensation from the responsible party or their insurance company to cover the cost of your medical treatment. Your lawyer can help you understand your rights and options in this situation, and can assist you with negotiating with the responsible party or their insurance company to cover the cost of your medical treatment.

Overall, there are several options available to help you get medical treatment after a car accident if you do not have health insurance. These options include seeking treatment at an emergency room, getting an attorney’s medical lien, and seeking compensation from the responsible party or their insurance company. It is important to speak with your lawyer and healthcare provider to determine the best options for your specific situation.
