Medical Expenses

Medical expenses can quickly exceed any amount you could possibly handle or pay off. Depending on the extent of your condition or injury, your need for medical treatment could be ongoing, which would result in ongoing medical expenses. If your condition or injury is the result of someone else’s negligence, then you should not be held financially responsible for the medical expenses related to that condition or injury.

Are you or someone you love overwhelmed with medical bills resulting from a condition or injury caused by someone else? If so, our personal injury lawyers are available to help you get the compensation you need to cover your medical expenses and more.

Possible medical expenses can include:

• ER bills
• Follow-up doctors visits
• Visits to specialists
• Physical therapy
• Counseling
• X-rays
• Hospital stays
• Surgery

When you are injured due to someone else’s negligence, it is not just the initial trip to the hospital that you should be compensated for. The negligent person should be held financially responsible for all medical expenses. This may include the initial expenses including doctor’s bills, ER bills, X-rays, tests, surgeries, hospital stays, etc. It may also include ongoing bills, such as follow-up visits, counseling, physical or occupational therapy, future tests, surgeries, and hospital stays. Any medical expense that is directly or indirectly tied to the injury should be covered.

Depending on the hospital and the services provided, a stay in the hospital can cost a couple thousand dollars a day or more. This covers everything from overhead to specific tests and medications. The more severe your injuries are, the more it is going to cost to treat you. This is why it is important to seek compensation when your injuries are the result of someone else’s negligence. You are already suffering physically and emotionally, you should not have to suffer financially as well.

If you or someone you love is drowning in medical bills, our personal injury lawyers can help ensure that the person or people responsible for your injury or condition are held responsible for their actions. Contact a personal injury lawyer in your area to discuss your options and get started.
