If you or a loved one gets hurt in a slip and fall accident, you could end up staring at a stack of medical bills. If someone else was to blame for this accident, should you be stuck dealing with all of the related expenses? We don’t think so. That’s why a San Antonio, Texas slip & fall lawyer from our firm is ready to help you hold a negligent property owner accountable and sue for fair compensation.
Can I Use My Own Insurance to Pay My Medical Bills?
You can use your own insurance to pay your medical bills, but there are a few problems with this. One, you probably have a deductible to hit, meaning that some of these expenses are still going to come out of your pocket. Two, even if you hit your deductible, your insurance is only going to share the costs with you until you meet your out-of-pocket maximum.
This means that your injuries can still cost you a lot of money, even if you have good health insurance. Plus, there are other expenses that you might end up facing as a result of your accident, like the cost of hiring someone to attend to medical, household, or childcare needs. You might also end up missing work due to your injuries, and a health insurer won’t help you make up those lost paychecks.
When Should I Sue For Damages?
You can sue for damages if you think that a property owner’s negligence caused your fall. Pursuing compensation makes sense if you fell because of:
- A wet floor
- Broken or dangerous stairs
- Damaged walkways
- Poor lighting
- Exposed wires or cables
A property owner should keep their property safe for customers or guests. When they fail to do that and leave behind a hazardous situation, they should be the ones who pay the medical bills of someone who gets injured.
How Can a Lawyer Help Me Get My Medical Bills Paid?
It can be tough to prove that someone was negligent though. This is why we recommend hiring an attorney. A personal injury lawyer can help you:
- Gather evidence
- Connect with expert witnesses who can strengthen your case
- Prepare for testimony or depositions
- Calculate fair compensation
- Negotiate with insurers
- File a claim before the statute of limitations expires
- Defend you from any accusations of wrongdoing or fault
We’re ready to help you build a case and get the compensation you need to get your medical bills paid.
