Most people who are injured in traffic accidents do not realize they are responsible for paying for their accident-related medical expenses until their case is settled.

If you have health insurance coverage and you are injured in an accident, use your health insurance to pay for your medical treatment. Any reimbursement requirements related to your health plan can be taken care of at the time your case is settled.

For more information about how your own auto insurance policy can help protect you if you happen to be involved in a motor vehicle accident, please see our posts on the following topics:

Medical Payments

Uninsured Motorists Coverage

Underinsured Motorists Coverage

Declarations Page

We urge you to review the Declarations Page of your auto insurance policy for UM, UIM and Medical Payments coverage. Make an appointment with your insurance agent to add coverage in these three areas if they are not included in your auto policy.
