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

In New Jersey, your personal injury protection (PIP) coverage generally pays covered medical bills after a car accident, regardless of fault. If you selected health insurance as your primary coverage, it may pay first, while PIP covers eligible remaining costs.

After a crash, seek medical attention if you have injuries or notice new symptoms. Tell your doctor about the accident so they can check your injuries and recommend the care you need.

Once you receive care, contact the appropriate insurance company to report the accident. Ask for your claim number and find out where your doctor or hospital should send treatment bills.

As medical bills arrive, keep them together with payment notices and receipts. Review these documents to see which charges have been paid and whether any bills still need attention.

Beyond medical expenses, you may also be able to recover lost wages and other losses related to the crash. The amount you can recover depends on your injuries, available coverage, and how the accident has affected your life.

If you were partly responsible for the crash, New Jersey's comparative fault rule may reduce the amount you recover from another driver. Your share of fault determines how much your damages may be reduced.

When your share of fault is greater than the combined fault of the parties you seek damages from, you generally cannot recover from them. However, sharing some responsibility does not automatically prevent you from filing a claim.

In most cases, New Jersey gives you two years from the accident date to file a personal injury lawsuit. Missing this deadline could prevent you from pursuing your claim in court.

Because some circumstances may affect the filing deadline, it is important to understand how much time you have. Speaking with a lawyer early can help you avoid missing the deadline while dealing with insurance matters.

When questions arise about PIP coverage or unpaid bills, a car accident lawyer can review your insurance policies and help address disputes with insurers. An attorney can also explain how these payment issues may affect your claim.
