Dear Kathy,
A Personal Injury attorney can investigate this matter and determine all possible insurance coverage including any available 1st party PIP and UIM coverage. Possibly, there are issues besides outstanding medical bills, which we typically negotiate for our clients. You should consult a Personal Injury attorney to avoid potential pitfalls rather than pursuing the matter on your own. Choose an experienced professional for guidance and advice before going further. We all give free consultations and if we take the case, it would be on a contingent fee basis. However, you will have to reach out, as attorneys are unable to directly solicit.
Loren L. Gold, Esq.
So in the state of Florida anytime a person has a car accident the first $10,000 of his own PIP insurance pays for his medical treatment. If you were at fault or not, it does not matter. You still have to use your PIP coverage. However, if you suffered any injury soft tissue or otherwise, and the accident was the fault of the other driver, then you could pursue a claim for lost wages, medical bills, and pain and suffering against the at fault driver. You can reach out to an attorney here on this website if you need a representation to pursue that claim.
