For a car accident case where the police report clearly states I'm not at fault, how do I submit medical bills to the other party's insurer?
Question Details: Police report states that they were the striking vehicle and that the "failed to yield". My auto insurance doesn't cover medical bills. The medical bills are less than $1000, thought they will be paying my car insurance company something like $8000 for repairs to my cars. How / who do I submit these bills while avoiding litigation. I just want to have them do the right thing and have them cover my expenses.
I am assuming there is a claim established with the other driver's insurance company. You would need to contact the adjustor handling this claim and tell them you have medical bills relating to the accident to submit. They are going to want medical records and the associated bills. In addition to your medical bills and lost wages, you are also entitled to compensation for pain and suffering. It would be best for you to at least consult with a personal injury attorney prior to handling this yourself. Most personal injury attorneys offer free consultations. Good luck to you.
