More details to this question:
I was in a car accident, I had surgery for a broken hand. did about one year of therapy, The case was setteled. I recieved $50,000. minus 16,500 for my lawyer. That left me with $33500.00. All the doctors, surgery, medical, etc. bills, were paid, except the therapy bill. A year later, I get a bill from the therapy for $8550. I didnt know I had to pay for my own therapy. I was never told, and it was never discussed, I assumed all the medical bills would get paid. Is this right?

Technically under the law you as the patient are ultimately responsible for all medical bills incurred whether from a motor vehicle collision or other reasons. I suggest you sit down with your lawyer and discuss the issue regarding the bill. Without knowing all the facts, it is difficult to give you a definite answer.
