WHO PAYS MEDICAL BILLS AFTER MOTORCYCLE ACCIDENT?
Our motorcycle accident lawyers have been involved in many tragic cases. The fact is, motorcycles provide less protection than a car. That often results in bad injuries. The first issue after an accident is how to pay the medical bills. You can purchase medical coverage for your motorcycle, but most people don’t do that. Hopefully, you have good health insurance coverage. Health insurance will cover motorcycle accident injuries even if another vehicle is at fault. However, you may still have a deductible and copays.
If another vehicle hit you on your motorcycle, their insurance is also responsible for your medical bills. Unfortunately, the other car’s insurance will not pay medical bills immediately. They will only pay your accident medical bills when you settle the case. Of course, the settlement includes more than medical bills. Therefore, you often have to wait until your case is completely ready to settle before receiving medical reimbursement from the other driver’s insurance.
