A: This is a major concern for most accident victims, as even limited treatment can quickly become expensive. In most cases, the responsible party’s insurance company will not pay anything, including medical expenses, until the conclusion of your case. However, it is wise to work with a knowledgeable personal injury attorney to ensure your claim is handled fairly.
