Who Will Pay My Medical Bills and Lost Wages From An Auto Accident?
In Florida, if you are the owner of a motor vehicle registered in Florida, you are required to obtain No-Fault automobile insurance coverage and your own No-Fault insurer has the primary responsibility for the payment of at least a portion of your initial medical bills and/or lost wages. Like most people, you may be surprised to learn that such is the case. One of the most common questions that I hear from clients is, “Why does my own insurer have to pay my bills if the accident was not my fault?” Please contact me and I will explain this confusing system to you as well as what types of damages can still be obtained from the party or parties responsible for your auto accident.In addition, if you have group health insurance coverage available to you or are a member of an HMO, your insurer or HMO may also make payments toward your medical bills; however, in many cases they will not, claiming that your auto insurer has the primary responsibility for paying those bills. It is not uncommon
