When someone has been seriously injured in an auto accident, medical expenses can be very high and come in many forms, such as:- Ambulance rides;- Chiropractic care;- Hospital treatment and radiology;- Hospital physicians;- Private physicians/radiology;- Medical equipment;- Pharmaceuticals;- Physical therapy.A single MRI can cost as much as $1,000, a broken leg can cost $8,000, a three-day stay in the hospital can cost over $30,000, and for victims of serious spinal injuries, spinal fusion surgery and the subsequent rehabilitation can cost over $170,000 combined. These costs are indeed staggering and can force uncompensated victims into severe debt and even bankruptcy, which is why if you’ve been injured due to another’s negligence, it is essential that you seek the help of an experienced personal injury attorney so you can be fully compensated not only for your medical expenses, but also lost wages, pain and suffering, and lost quality of life.An estimated 43 million Americans have medical debts on their credit reports, and medical debt which isn’t paid off can harm your credit score, which can create further problems such as the inability to rent an apartment or obtain a mortgage, having your insurance rates increase, and being rejected for personal loans, auto loans, or employment opportunities.
