How Are Medical Bills Paid after a Truck Accident in Florida?

While Florida is a no-fault state when it comes to traffic accidents, this only applies to accidents that come under the legal threshold. When the injuries you sustain are permanent or are very serious, you can bypass the no-fault system and can file a claim with the trucking company’s insurance provider for your complete physical, financial, and emotional losses – or the truck driver’s insurance provider if they aren’t employed by a trucking company. The impact of truck accidents tends to be immense, and resulting losses tend to surpass the state’s limit for no-fault coverage. If you’ve suffered an injury due to a truck driver’s negligence, it’s time to consult with an experienced Florida truck accident attorney.

Your Medical Expenses

In the wake of a truck accident, you can experience overwhelming medical expenses that may be ongoing. The kinds of injuries that are closely associated with truck accidents include all the following:

  • Broken bones, which are prone to complications
  • Serious cuts and burns, which can be permanently disfiguring when on or near the face
  • Traumatic brain injuries, which are often life-altering
  • Internal injuries, which are often life-threatening
  • Spinal cord injuries, which can lead to permanent losses in relation to range of motion and are associated with chronic pain

If the injuries you suffer are expected to require future medical treatments or procedures or if they lead to complications or secondary health concerns, your medical expenses will be even more considerable and must be carefully assessed before you settle your claim.

Proving the Extent of Your Medical Expenses

When an injury is very serious, it can be more difficult to prove the full extent of related medical costs. For this, you will turn to your trusted truck accident attorney, who will skillfully engage in all the following in their efforts to ensure that you’re fairly compensated:

  • Carefully compiling your medical bills
  • Obtaining reports from your medical team regarding the extent of your injuries, your health prognosis, and what lies ahead in terms of your recovery
  • Hiring medical professionals with relevant expertise to testify regarding the extent of your injuries and what to expect in terms of your recovery
  • Demonstrating any additional medical needs you may have, including home health care or assistance with the activities of daily living
  • Helping you assess the degree to which your life has been negatively affected by the injuries you’ve sustained
