How Your Car Insurance Could Prevent Medical Care

It is important to remember that if you are injured in a car wreck that you seek the appropriate medical care immediately, whether that means a trip to the ER, a visit to an Urgent Care, or an appointment with your primary care physician. Unfortunately, certain medical providers may attempt to submit your bill to an auto insurance carrier opposed to your health insurance carrier, sometimes leaving you to personally pay the bill in full. In some instances, these medical providers wrongfully and even intentionally fail to submit your bills to health insurance. When dealing with the trauma from injuries sustained in a collision, we know that medical bills can be difficult and frustrating to navigate. 




If you're having trouble dealing with medical bills related to a car wreck, the attorneys and staff at Hawthorne, Atchison & Riddle are experienced in alleviating those issues and ensuring your medical bills are filed and handled appropriately. Please give us a call at (334) 676-3696 or send us a email at office@HARlegal.com for a free case evaluation.
