vermont,hit by a new york driver.
i was walking on the sidewalk.a guy was stoped at the stop light and turned right without looking while i was in front of him.he ran over my legs,breaking one in 3 places that needed a rod put in.
i got the hospital bill last week.they total $22,000.
the car insurance coverage is $25,000.
i had no health insurance.
today i just got the release papers from the lawyer for a settlement of the whole 25k.
if the hospital would have filed a claim with the insurance company,wouldn't it come out of the $25,000?
the hospital is sending the financial assistance forms,but if they find out that i got a settlement they'll want me to pay up.
people have said to go after the driver,but if there are no assets thats what i could get.i dont feel right going after an average joe anyway.
i'm kinda happy with 2/3 of $25,000,but not if i'm going to owe the hospital $22,000.
