Insurance Law Law Answers
Well California law from what I know cannot force you to pay the bill. However, the likelihood is if you didn't have a lawyer bring down the cost of your medical care (via negotiation), the lien is still there and the medical office/hospital/third party can place a lien on your assets to security its interest.
Consult with an accident/personal injury in your state about what you can do/should do next. Try www.attorneypages.com and check his or her record at www.calbar.ca.gov under attorney search.
