• What to do if you don’t have healthcare in Florida.

Why Is It Important To Get Immediate Medical Attention After An Accident?

Getting immediate medical attention and continued care following an accident is crucial to your case. Going through this process helps document your injury, helps you get the care that you need to heal, and allows you and your attorney to use this unbiased medical information to prove your injuries.

How Can I Pay For Medical Care While I Wait For My Claim To Resolve?

If your injury involves a motor vehicle, Florida has what we call a no-fault law. This means that everyone who operates a motor vehicle is required to obtain $10,000 in personal injury protection insurance. This allows $10,000 of medical expenses to be paid off the bat by your auto insurance carrier.

How Can I Get Medical Treatment If I Don’t Have Insurance?

Apart from the $10,000 in benefits from your insurance coverage, many doctors work with attorneys to provide care with a letter of protection. This letter or agreement guarantees the doctor that they will be paid for their services once your case against an at-fault driver is settled.

Your attorney can point you to doctors willing to treat you based on this agreement, ensuring you get quality medical care without having to worry about paying upfront or later medical bills.

Why Are Medical Visits So Important In A Personal Injury Case?

The more medical visits you have, the better. A permanent injury must be proven, must be linked objectively to the accident, and must be well documented to allow for damages such as lost wages or pain and suffering to be paid.

Without medical records to verify your injury, your attorney will have to rely on your obvious physical condition to prove your injury, though doing so without proper documentation will be much more difficult. An attorney can direct you to a qualified doctor to help you get the medical documentation you need.

How Can A Personal Injury Attorney Help Me Find Financial Resources For Medical Care In Florida?

Apart from the $10,000 available if you are injured in a car accident, you may be able to seek help through your own healthcare or an HMO or PPO policy. In these cases, any outstanding liens from that coverage would be paid with the settlements of your case if your case is successful.
