What Happens To Your Medical Bills

How your medical bills get paid depends on how you were hurt. New Jersey is a no-fault state for car crashes — your own auto policy’s PIP coverage pays crash bills first.

▸Crash injuries: PIP pays your medical bills no matter who caused the accident — pain-and-suffering compensation comes from the claim against the at-fault driver.
▸Falls and other injuries: your health insurance usually pays first, and the at-fault party's insurer pays through your claim.
▸Keep every bill and insurance statement — and bring them to the free consultation.
