FAQ
Who pays my medical bills while my case is pending (PIP, health insurance, liens)?
This depends on the type of case and the insurance involved:
- Auto accidents: Your own PIP (Personal Injury Protection) benefits typically pay allowable medical expenses, regardless of fault.
- Non-auto cases (slip and fall, dog bite, etc.): Health insurance usually pays first.
- If health insurance doesn’t cover everything: Some providers may agree to treat under a medical lien, meaning they’re paid from the case recovery later.
Part of our job is coordinating benefits, addressing denials, and making sure you’re not stuck paying out of pocket while the case is ongoing—or surprised by liens at the end.
