Are medical bills included in a bodily injury claim?
In general, a bodily injury claim usually refers to a personal injury claim. Examples of economic damages would include, but not limited to, lost wages, medical bills, and rental car expenses. Other damages you may collect in a bodily injury claim are “general damages.” These include pain and suffering, humiliation, and distress. It is important that when you settle a bodily injury claim that your claim includes all available types of damages, or you may lose the right to recover those losses.
