When Can Accident Victims Seek Compensation Outside of Med Pay?
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

If you have been seriously injured in an auto accident, securing payment from the insurance companies could be crucial to covering your medical expenses and other losses.

Even if you have health insurance, relying on your coverage would most likely mean paying a substantial copay or deductible, and your health insurer may be within its rights to deny coverage for accident-related injuries. In short, you need to file an auto insurance claim, and it will be important for you to work with an experienced Denver personal injury lawyer to make sure you receive the full compensation you deserve.September 25th, 2019 | Posted by paperstreet, on Personal Injury
