Who Pays My Medical Bills After a Pedestrian Crash in Magnolia, TX?
After a pedestrian crash in Magnolia, the driver's liability insurance usually pays your medical bills if the driver was at fault. Texas is an at-fault state, but payment from the driver's insurance company generally comes when your claim is settled.
Even if you weren't in a car, your personal injury protection (PIP) coverage may help pay your medical bills and lost wages. Coverage under a household family member's policy may also apply if PIP was not rejected in writing.
If the driver has little or no insurance, your uninsured or underinsured motorist coverage may help pay your expenses. This coverage can protect you even when you are walking, depending on your policy and the circumstances of the crash.
To support your claim, keep copies of your medical bills, prescription receipts, and treatment records. These documents help show how much your care has cost, what you have already paid, and any medical expenses you still owe.
Beyond your medical bills, you may be able to recover compensation for lost wages and pain and suffering. How much you receive depends on how your injuries have affected your ability to work, carry out daily tasks, and enjoy your usual activities.
Under Texas law, you generally have two years from the date of the crash to file a personal injury lawsuit. If you miss this deadline, you may lose your right to pursue your claim in court, even if you still need treatment.
If an insurance company disputes your medical expenses, a pedestrian accident lawyer can gather the records needed to support your claim. An attorney can also handle communication with the insurer while you focus on your recovery.
