Bills Stressing You Out? We’ll Push the Insurer to Cover Them So You Can Heal.
After a serious auto accident, the bills don’t wait. Ambulance rides, ER visits, follow-up appointments, surgeries, prescriptions, physical therapy—the costs add up fast. And when you’re out of work, even temporarily, it’s easy to feel overwhelmed, anxious, and unsure how you’re going to pay for it all.
At Christmas Injury Lawyers, we understand exactly what you’re facing. You didn’t cause the accident. You shouldn’t have to carry the financial burden alone. Our team fights to hold the insurance company accountable, making every effort to secure the compensation you deserve under South Carolina law—so you can focus on what matters most: healing.
Why Medical Bills Stack Up So Quickly
Even minor collisions can lead to major medical expenses. And for those with serious injuries, the costs can be life-changing.
The Hidden Costs of Injury Recovery
The first hospital visit is only the beginning. Most injury victims face weeks or months of care.
Common Medical Expenses After a Crash
- Emergency medical services: Ambulance transportation and ER treatment add up fast.
- A single trip to the emergency room can cost thousands of dollars.
- If advanced imaging (like MRIs or CT scans) is needed, the bill grows even larger.
- Ongoing treatment and rehab: Follow-up care is critical for proper healing.
- This includes appointments with specialists, physical therapy, and home health care.
- Without financial support, many people skip essential treatment, slowing recovery.
- Prescription medications and medical devices: Pain relief and mobility aids aren’t cheap.
- Items like braces, crutches, wheelchairs, or in-home equipment may not be fully covered by insurance.
- These out-of-pocket expenses can strain families who are already struggling.

You Heal—We Handle the Stress
We take immediate action to hold the insurance company accountable and connect you with the resources you need.
Ways We Help Ease the Burden
- We fight for compensation from the at-fault party’s insurer: That’s our top priority.
- We gather medical records, bills, and expert opinions to show the full impact of your injuries.
- We present a clear, evidence-backed claim designed to maximize your recovery under the law.
- We help delay or reduce collections on unpaid bills: You don’t have to face hospitals and collectors alone.
- In many cases, we can work with providers to put a temporary hold on collection efforts.
- We advocate for reduced charges or billing negotiations when appropriate.
- We connect you with medical providers who understand injury cases: Some may treat you with no upfront cost.
- We’ve built trusted relationships with providers across South Carolina who understand the legal process.
- That means you can continue treatment without worrying about how to pay right now.
What If You Don’t Have Health Insurance?
No health insurance? You’re not alone—and you still have options.
Legal Claims Can Fill the Gap
Your injury claim can cover more than just immediate costs—it can help you get the care you need now.
Alternatives to Paying Upfront
- Letters of protection: We may be able to arrange treatment on credit.
- Some providers will agree to treat you with the understanding they’ll be paid from your eventual settlement.
- This allows you to access necessary care even if you can’t afford it today.
- MedPay benefits (if available): Your own auto insurance might help.
- Many South Carolina policies include Medical Payments (MedPay) coverage.
- MedPay can help pay for initial treatment regardless of who was at fault.
- Negotiated reductions post-settlement: We work to lower outstanding bills.
- Once your case settles, we negotiate directly with providers to reduce what you owe.
- The goal is to put as much of your settlement in your pocket—not theirs.
FAQs About Medical Bills After an Auto Accident
Who is responsible for paying my medical bills after an accident?
Ultimately, the at-fault party and their insurance company should be held responsible. However, in the meantime, bills may be directed to you unless alternative arrangements are made.
What if I can’t afford to see a doctor?
Contact us immediately. We may be able to connect you with medical providers who accept liens or letters of protection, allowing you to get care without upfront payment.
Will the hospital wait to get paid until my case is resolved?
In many cases, yes. We can work with hospitals and clinics to delay billing or collections until your case settles, especially if we provide documentation showing legal action is in progress.
Can I include future medical costs in my settlement?
Absolutely. If your injuries require ongoing or long-term care, we pursue compensation for future treatment needs as well—this may include surgeries, rehab, or even home care.
Will I owe your firm anything upfront to start my case?
No. We work on a contingency fee basis. That means you don’t owe us a penny unless we recover money for you.
