Your injury claim may take months to resolve, but medical bills arrive immediately. Understanding payment options reduces stress.
Bills Come Due Before Settlement
Health Insurance and MedPay
Your health insurance may cover treatment, and Virginia auto policies often include medical payments (MedPay) coverage that pays regardless of fault.
Liens and Reimbursement
Insurers and providers may assert liens to be repaid from your settlement. An attorney can often negotiate these down, increasing your net recovery.
The At-Fault Party Pays in the End
Ultimately, a successful claim seeks reimbursement of medical expenses from the at-fault party's insurer as part of your damages.
