An insurance company or another party that pays for an injured person’s medical treatment can recover compensation from the party responsible for the medical negligence. In effect, the third party inherits the rights of the injured claimant. Consequently, the third party can sue the healthcare provider and recover damages for the claimant’s injuries.
