Things to Know if You Are Involved in An Automobile Accident

File a medical claim - even if you think you have no injuries.

"Med Pay coverage helps pay for a wide variety of accident related bills, no matter who’s at fault”. – Allstate

"A major benefit to having coverage on your auto policy is that Med Pay pays medical costs immediately. If the accident is not your fault, you do not have to wait for a settlement in order to begin paying medical costs” - Livestrong.com

“The use of Med Pay coverage will not increase your premiums. You are also entitled to be paid the full amount of your medical expenses (up to the limit of your med pay)”. - Defendmyrights.com and Optumhealthrehab.com

“Med Pay coverage is a ‘no-fault’ coverage. This means negligence does not need to be proven – the injured party gets their money without having to go to court”. (Up to the limit of your med pay) - TheTruthaboutInsurance.com

Filing Through Liability (The at-fault driver's insurance)

“We do not pay medical bills as they are submitted to us. Patient is responsible for his/her own medical treatment and any incurred treatment. When patient is completely done treating and ready to settle claim, at that time, will they consider medical bills”. – State Farm (In many cases, settlement is lengthy.)

Often times, the liability (The at-fault driver's insurance) will settle with you at a lower amount than total treatment cost. The rest is patient responsibility. If you choose to file through liability insurance, it is in your best interest to retain an attorney.

  • Consult a chiropractor or medical physician within a week or two of your accident.

  • Soft tissue injuries may not show up for several weeks after the accident. Even low speed accidents can cause soft tissue injuries.
