Understanding Your Rights, Insurance Options, and Legal Protections
After a car accident, one of the first and most urgent concerns is medical care. Emergency room visits, ambulance rides, follow-up appointments, physical therapy—it all adds up quickly. But if the accident wasn’t your fault, who actually pays those bills?
At Pyramid Legal, we help accident victims navigate this confusing process and fight to ensure they aren’t stuck with costs they shouldn’t be responsible for. Here’s what you need to know.
Immediate Medical Bills: Who’s Responsible First?
Right after the accident, you may receive care before liability is even determined. So who pays those initial bills?
Here’s how it usually works:
Your health insurance may cover your care, but you could be responsible for co-pays or deductibles.
Medical providers may treat you under a medical lien, agreeing to be paid later from a settlement.
Personal Injury Protection (PIP) or MedPay (if available in your policy or state) may pay some costs upfront.
Even if the other driver was clearly at fault, their insurance won’t pay immediately. That’s where legal help becomes critical.
What If the At-Fault Driver Is Uninsured?
If the other driver doesn’t have insurance—or doesn’t have enough coverage—your options may include:
Uninsured/Underinsured Motorist Coverage (UM/UIM) from your own policy
Filing a personal injury lawsuit to pursue damages directly
Exploring other liable parties, such as vehicle owners or employers
These cases require a legal strategy to uncover all possible sources of compensation. That’s where our team steps in.
