WHO IS RESPONSIBLE TO PAY FOR MEDICAL TREATEMENT AND LOST WAGES ASSOCIATED WITH MY INJURIES FROM A CAR ACCIDENT?
Medical expenses and wage loss benefits due to an auto accident injury are considered by your insurance as “no fault,” and each insured looks to his/her own automobile policy for benefits, regardless of the cause of the accident or whether the insured was personally responsible for his injuries. You should also check with you regular health insurance regarding benefits for payment of medical treatment. Additionally, for lost wages you should check to see if you are eligible for short or long-term disability payments.
