WHAT IS ARBITRATION FOR CAR ACCIDENT MEDICAL BILLS? MN LAWYER

Minnesota is a “No-Fault” state for car accidents. What does this mean? It means that your auto insurance must pay your car accident medical bills automatically. In other words, getting your medical bills paid after a car accident doesn’t require proving the other driver was at fault. So, what could go wrong?  A common dispute in car accident cases is when your insurance claims you were not injured or your injuries are not from the crash. Fortunately, MN has an arbitration system to resolve these disputes. Our car accident lawyers deal with medical arbitration issues frequently.

If your auto insurance denies your medical bills, you have the right to arbitration up to $10,000. Fortunately, Minnesota has a great system to make these arbitrations fast and simple. In MN, we use the American Arbitration Association to facilitate No-Fault arbitrations. The arbitration form is just one page, and the filing fee is $40. Plus, if you win, you will get the $40 back.

At the time you file for arbitration, you medical bills must not exceed $10,000. Therefore, you want to know if the insurance company is going to deny payment as soon as possible. However, once you file for arbitration, your bills can continue to accumulate beyond $10,000, and the total can be awarded up to your policy limits. There is some stratagy involved is this that an experienced car accident lawyer will know.
