Do I have to pay my medical bills if I did not cause my injury?

Yes and no. As a legal matter, you have financial responsibility for all medical expenses you incur for treatment of your spinal cord injury, from emergency care bills to the cost of long-term therapies. However, that does not necessarily mean that you have to pay those costs out of your own pocket. Insurance benefits, settlements, and/or court-awarded damages can help you pay for those expenses; but, of course, obtaining the money from those sources can take time and effort.

That is why you should call our experienced Atlantic City spinal cord injury attorneys as soon as possible after getting hurt. The sooner you begin the process of enforcing your legal rights to receive compensation from the parties who caused you harm, the better your chances of staying ahead of huge medical bills and having the financial cushion you need to adapt to living with a spinal cord injury.
