Who Pays My Medical Bills After a Car Accident in Linden, NJ?

In New Jersey, your own Personal Injury Protection coverage usually pays your medical bills first after a car accident, even when another driver caused the crash. PIP is meant to cover qualifying treatment without waiting for fault to be decided.

When you report the crash to your auto insurer promptly, the company can open your PIP claim and begin processing medical bills. Early notice also gives the insurer the information needed to tell providers how covered treatment should be submitted.

If you chose health insurance as your primary medical coverage for auto injuries, your health plan generally pays first. Your auto policy may then provide secondary PIP coverage, depending on the coverage choices you made before the crash.

Once your available PIP medical benefits are exhausted, unpaid accident-related bills may go to health insurance if coverage applies. Some remaining medical expenses may also become part of a claim against the driver who caused the crash.

While New Jersey allows more than one driver to share fault, your percentage of responsibility can reduce what you recover from the other driver. If your share of fault is greater than the other driver’s, you may be unable to recover damages.

As your claim moves forward, police reports, photographs, and witness accounts can help show how the collision happened. They can also help explain what each vehicle was doing, what the road was like, and who may have been responsible.

If a PIP insurer delays treatment approval or refuses to pay a medical bill, a car accident lawyer can review the denial and communicate with the insurer about the disputed payment. An attorney can also identify other coverage that may apply.
