Paying Medical Bills before an Accident Claim

If you have been in an accident that was not your fault, you might have received some injuries. If you use a private healthcare provider you may have some medical expenses associated with those injuries that can be claimed.  If you get NHS healthcare you still may be liable for medical expenses such as travel and prescription medication.  Medical expenses from an accident that you were a victim in are unexpected expenses that you may not have money set aside for. What do you do?

You can always look online and use a personal injury calculator for personal injury claims to determine how much compensation you may be eligible for. And, if you have not done so already, go ahead and start the process of filing a claim for your accident. You should definitely get an attorney to help you with this as there are a lot of things to consider.


You will likely continue to incur medical expenses whilst you are waiting to receive compensation for your claim. If you don’t have the money to cover your injury costs, you can inquire with your healthcare provider to see if they can place a hold on your account. Your account will be on hold and you will pay for your medical expenses once your claim is settled. This will mean that the healthcare provider will not send your account to collection agencies so you don’t have to worry about your credit being ruined.
