No. And the gap between what you expected and what is actually available to you right now may be one of the most financially disorienting discoveries of this entire experience. The at-fault driver’s liability insurance — the coverage that ultimately owes you compensation for everything this accident has cost you — does not make payments […]

Yes. Chiropractors are, by a significant margin, the medical providers most likely to treat you on a lien after a car accident. This is not a coincidence and it is not purely altruistic. Chiropractic practices that work with personal injury patients have built their business model around exactly this arrangement, and understanding why they do […]

The word “free” is doing a lot of work in this question, and the answer you are probably hoping for — that the other driver’s insurance will simply pay your doctors directly while you heal — is not how it works, and someone should tell you that clearly before you waste weeks trying to make […]

You were hurt in a car accident that was not your fault. You need medical care. And you are sitting in a position that makes no logical sense from the outside but feels completely paralyzing from inside it: the person responsible for your injuries has insurance, that insurance company eventually owes you money, but right […]

You did not cause this accident. You are owed money, and the process of getting it is grinding forward, slowly, the way these things always do. And in the meantime, your phone is ringing with numbers you don’t recognize, letters are showing up in your mailbox with threatening language about your account being forwarded to […]

You’re looking at a settlement and someone told you that your health insurance company wants money back from it. Maybe you got a letter you didn’t understand. Maybe your attorney mentioned subrogation and moved on before you fully processed what that meant for the number you’re going to walk away with. Maybe you’ve been paying […]

The police report is wrong. Maybe the officer got the sequence of events backwards, or recorded the other driver’s account as fact when it was self-serving fiction, or put you at fault for something that didn’t happen the way it’s described, or simply made a clerical error that now follows the accident record in a […]

You didn’t get their names. Maybe the accident was chaotic and you were hurt and getting witness information was not the thing your brain prioritized. Maybe someone said they saw what happened but left before you could ask them anything. Maybe you exchanged information with the other driver and got into your car and the […]

The accident happened in a parking lot, or a private driveway, or a business campus, or some other piece of property that wasn’t a public road, and someone has told you, or you’ve assumed, that the rules are different here. Maybe the responding officer said they couldn’t write a ticket because it was private property. […]

You were hit by someone who probably should not have been driving. Maybe they had a suspended license. Maybe they had prior DUIs and you found that out afterward. Maybe they were a teenager whose parents handed over the keys despite knowing about a pattern of reckless behavior. Maybe the driver was an employee and […]
