Who pays your medical bills & lost wages after an accident?
The financial stress after an accident can be overwhelming, especially when medical bills start piling up, and income is lost due to injury. In New York, knowing who covers these costs eases your financial anxiety.
- No-Fault Insurance Coverage: In motor vehicle accidents, your bills and lost wages (up to $50,000) are covered by the no-fault insurance of the car you were in, or that hit you if you were a pedestrian or cyclist.
- Understanding Limitations: For non-vehicle accidents like slips and falls, insurance coverage might be limited or non-existent. The Fastman Law Group will review your specific situation and help identify your coverage.
- Managing Bills Effectively: Always forward medical bills to The Fastman Law Group immediately. Our team ensures timely and appropriate handling.
- Be Cautious with Medicare/Medicaid: Avoid using Medicaid or Medicare unless absolutely necessary. These entities can place liens on your settlement, reducing your final compensation.
With guidance from The Fastman Law Group, you can concentrate fully on your recovery, knowing your financial interests are safeguarded. If you ever have any questions or have been in a serious accident, don't hesitate to email HARLEY@HARLEYFASTMAN.COM or call (516) 437-7300 for immediate assistance and expert guidance from Harley Fastman and The Fastman Law Group.
