CAR INSURANCE DENIES INJURY CLAIM BECAUSE OF PREEXISTING CONDITION
The new Affordable Care Act (Obama Care) has caused political controversy. But there is one thing many people like about it: You can no longer be denied health insurance because of a preexisting condition. Unfortunately, car insurance medical benefits don’t work that way in Minnesota. Our lawyers deal with that issue every day.
CAR ACCIDENT MEDICAL BILLS
If you are injured in a car accident, the MN No Fault laws require YOUR auto insurance to pay your initial medical bills. Of course, the auto insurer will let you buy the policy regardless of a pre-existing medical condition. However, if you are injured in a car accident, the auto insurer will only pay your medical bills if you can prove they are related to the car accident. In other words, after the car crash, you have to prove that your injury and medical treatment were because of the accident rather than a pre-existing condition. Otherwise, your auto insurance won’t pay for it.
CAR ACCIDENT INJURY LAWYERS
Our car accident lawyers deal with this issue every day. The automobile insurance company frequently refuses to pay medical bills because they claim that the injured person had a preexisting condition. However, in many cases, the car crash made the preexisting condition worse. In those cases, the auto insurance must pay to at least get the person back to where they were before the accident. That is the law in Minnesota and is often a successful argument.
