Florida is a state that does not accept responsibility. All automobiles must have Personal Injury Protection (PIP), insurance. This insurance covers medical bills up to $10,000 and lost wages. There should be enough money to pay some or all of your bills.
After PIP has been exhausted, there are many options. You can search for a doctor who is covered by your health insurance and receive treatment there. This can be difficult and may not be the best option for you. You will be required to pay them back if you are covered by your health insurance.
Most people will opt to use letter of protection (LOP) instead of health insurance. An LOP allows a medical provider to continue treating you and receive reimbursement from the settlement. This is basically an IOU. This arrangement is the best way to get treatment and pay your bills.
How Quickly Should You Hire An Attorney?
As soon as you are involved in an auto accident, I recommend that you contact a lawyer as soon as possible. An auto accident lawyer is not expensive. The flow of information can be managed properly once an attorney has been involved. The attorney can help you with the medical management of your case. It is not a bad idea to get a lawyer involved as soon as possible.
