What to do about a medical bill that has been sent after I was paid my settlement?
About 4 months ago, I settled an accident case that occurred almost a year ago (10 months). On the day of the accident, I visited the emergency room for a head injury. My medical bill was paid but now I have justreceived my first medical bill from a company involved in the initial hospital treatment. Apparently the bill I paid was for hospital equipment room use and this latest bill is for the actual doctor. However, they took 7 months to mail me this bill, claiming they didn’t inform me of it in all that time because they were attempting to get it paid through the auto insurance company and health insurance company. Since I’ve already settled and signed a medical release, what should I do?

Hello. I would need to ask more questions of you and I would want to view the settlement itself as a part of the analysis to provide you with appropriate legal advice. I urge you to seek private attorney counsel right away.
Some attorneys, myself included, will confer for free, at no charge. Then, if legal work is performed, some attorneys, myself included, will provide a reduced fee for need. All the best to you.
