What If You Are Injured But Do Not Have Health Insurance?

If you have been injured in an automobile accident you will likely need medical attention. What if you do not have health insurance? Even if you do not have health insurance you should go to the emergency room immediately following your accident. Most hospitals have payment programs if you do not have the money to pay. Hospitals will also typically work with you on a reduction of your medical bill.

Another way to get medical attention is through an attorney. An attorney can get appointments for you with certain doctors by providing the doctor with a Letter of Protection. A Letter of Protection is a guarantee from the patient and attorney to pay the doctor out of the settlement proceeds. When in doubt you can always find treatment at the emergency room. Most emergency rooms will even provide you with a doctor who will perform follow up care.  -Patrick Kenerly (205)912-8245
