In Colorado, all drivers have Med Pay insurance unless they specifically opted out of purchasing this coverage when they signed up for their policy. While Med Pay provides no-fault coverage (meaning that insurers are supposed to pay regardless of who or what caused the accident), the policy limits are typically quite low (the standard limit is $5,000, which isn’t much for accident-related medical expenses), and Med Pay only covers medical expenses. As a result, many accident victims will find themselves needing to seek coverage outside of Med Pay, and they will need to hire a Denver injury attorney to represent them.September 30th, 2019 | Posted by paperstreet, on Personal Injury
