How Can I Make Sure That The Truck Accident Settlement Is Fair To Both Me And My Health Insurance Company?

Sometimes, I make the health insurance company part of the lawsuit.

A health insurance company has a right to recover its payments for your medical bills from both you and the person who caused the accident. This is called subrogation.

If I don’t think the settlement will be enough to be fair to both you and your health insurance company – or if I think the health insurance company will be unreasonable – I sue the health insurance company as part of the lawsuit. It is a judgment call.

This makes them get a lawyer, and acknowledge whatever weaknesses there are in their case.  It also forces them to confront the reality that the jury may not be as generous with them as it will be with an individual.  This leads to settlements.

I have been a lawyer over 30 years. The settlement has to be fair not just to the health insurance company, but to you as well.   If you’ve been hurt in a truck accident, give me a call at 513-621-4775.

Because all situations are different, and because there may be other facts pertaining to your case that I don’t know about, you should not rely on this answer for legal advice. I am not your attorney, and no lawyer client relationship has been formed.  All discussions are limited to Ohio law unless otherwise indicated.  And past performance cannot be used to predict future results.
