Importance of Health Insurance in Injury Cases
In general, health insurance is important to have but its value in injury cases is immense. In personal injury cases (automobile, dog bite and slip & fall type cases), if someone is hurt and another person is liable, the at-fault person does not pay for the injured person’s medical care as it is incurred. Rather, the injured person is responsible for getting their medical care, potentially paying for it upfront and then makes a claim for all their damages at the end of the claim. In a workmen’s compensation case, as long as the case is accepted, the employer/insurance company will provide medical care. If, however, the case becomes disputed or the injured employee wants a second opinion, he or she is responsible for their own medical care at their own expense.
It is difficult to be seen by a healthcare provider when they hear the treatment is for an injury case, however, it is even more difficult seeking medical care without health insurance. If you already have health insurance, fantastic. If, however, you do not have health insurance, healthcare.gov is still doing open enrollment through December 15. As a small business owner, it is too expensive for me to get a group plan so I purchase my own health insurance through the government exchange and have been very happy with the coverage. The other good thing about the plans on the government exchange is that the premiums may be reduced based on your family’s income. Check here to see if you can get health insurance coverage at a reduced rate.
