If I was in a car accident more than a week ago, can I go to the doctor and have the other party be responsible for the bills?

Answered 12 years and a month ago by Ronald A. Steinberg (Unclaimed Profile)   |   12 Answers   |  Legal Topics: Personal Injury
In Michigan, your own auto insurance is responsible for accident related medical bills not covered by your health insurance. As far as the one (1) week delay, as long as you explain to the doctor that there were no other accidents or injuries in the intervening time, it should not be a problem. If you are not in Michigan, then I suspect that you can claim against the other driver for medical bills, lost wages, property damage, and pain and suffering.... Read More

More than likely, there would not be any insurance coverage that would cover an intentional act such as biting off someone's ear and finger.  Further, the fact that your husband's assailant is in jail may mean that he would have no means to pay even if he were found to be responsible for your husband's injuries.  These are generalizations, of course, and it would be advisable to talk to an attorney in your state and discuss your case with them.  For example, if the assault was determined to be accidental, and not intentional, then there is a possibility that the assailant's homeowner's insurance policy might provide coverage for your husband's injuries.  This presumes, of course, that he has homeowner's insurance.  Best of luck to you.  Chip Clark...

I was assalted at a Denny''s Restaraunt by 4 men who harrassed me and I asked the waitress to call the police but she said no she would not

Generally speaking, you're raising issues that are governed by state law and I practice in New Jersey.  Having said that, as a patron at a business establishment Denny's likely had a duty to take reasonable steps to protect you against foreseeable harm from a third-party patron who was presenting an obvious danger to you.  You should contact the local personal injury attorney.  After discussing the facts of the attack with him he should be in a position to tell you whether you have a viable litigation....
