Whether or not you are responsible for medical bills depends on what selections you made on your car insurance. If you chose to have your medical insurance pay for the costs of care, instead of choosing the personal injury protection option, you may be responsible for reimbursing your medical insurance.

Generally speaking, when you are in an automobile accident your medical bills are payable through either your auto insurance policy or the auto insurance policy of the driver of the vehicle you were in if you do not have your own automobile insurance. Call your attorney and find out whether your medical bills were submitted to the appropriate insurance company.
