You will have transportation problems because your vehicle has been wrecked.\u00a0 You have to have it repaired if possible or deal with getting another car if yours was totaled.\u00a0 There are other immediate problems after the accident.\u00a0 You may not be healthy enough to do all of the things you normally need to do.\u00a0 It may not be possible to work or go to school.\u00a0 You may need help taking care of your children or cleaning the house.\u00a0 Now you have to make time for medical treatment.\u00a0 Many of the things you enjoy doing such as sports or traveling may be problematic.\u00a0 Car problems cost money.\u00a0 Losing time from work costs you money.\u00a0 Medical treatment costs you money.\u00a0 Making modifications to your home to deal with your impairments after a serious injury is expensive.<\/p>\n
Nebraska injury victims often have limited resources after an accident<\/h3>\n
Nebraska is different from some other states.\u00a0 Our state government is less meddlesome than some states but our system does not always do a good job of helping accident victims.\u00a0 Whenever there are sufficient liability insurance and underinsured coverage for the vehicles involved in the accident, it should be possible to have an appropriate settlement or court judgment in the long run.\u00a0 However, if an injury victim does not have good insurance benefits of their own to deal with the medical bills and other costs of a serious injury, there can be a great deal of hardship even with good car insurance.\u00a0 In Nebraska, the only part of the claim that is usually dealt with quickly is the property claim.\u00a0 You do not have to wait for the injury claim to be ripe for concluding to get the car fixed or to be paid its\u2019 fair market value in the event that it was a total loss.\u00a0 Everything else that is included with the injury claim normally waits until the end of the case, when you are done with treatment and are medically stable, to be paid.<\/p>\n
If you had been hit by a driver with a Kansas insurance policy, things would be a lot different.\u00a0 Thier system requires an initial investigation and liability determination to be made promptly by the at-fault driver\u2019s insurance company.\u00a0 The necessary medical bills and up to a year of lost wages are then paid by the at-fault insurance company.\u00a0 That reduces the financial penalty for the innocent injury victim while the claim is pending and would also reduce the pressure to settle an injury claim prematurely for a low amount just to get the bills paid.\u00a0 In Nebraska, the at-fault driver\u2019s insurance company normally settles the injury claim after all treatment is complete.\u00a0 Lost wages, medical bills and payment for pain and suffering wait to be paid.<\/p>\n
Nebraska Lawyers and Injury Victims are stuck working with the system we have.\u00a0 It can be a challenge in Nebraska to get the treatment you need because of money.\u00a0 We depend on doctors to stay healthy and to help us recover from motor vehicle accident injuries.\u00a0 Most doctors are very concerned about keeping their business profitable.\u00a0 Even if they are not personally involved with insurance claims and patient billing, they have office managers who ration out treatment based on a patient\u2019s ability to pay the bill.<\/p>\n
It is important to identify all of a client\u2019s own resources to pay for treatment<\/h3>\n
It is then important to have them seek the effective treatment they need with a doctor who is willing to treat them and willing to work with their insurance situation as soon as possible.\u00a0 That means working with health insurance, car insurance medical payments coverage, Medicaid or Medicare if applicable and even considering working on a lien basis.\u00a0 The initial Emergency Room treatment is normally provided to stabilize an accident victim regardless of a person\u2019s ability to pay.\u00a0 Getting the treatment you need after the emergency room may be complicated.\u00a0 Using health insurance, car insurance medical payments coverage, Medicaid or Medicare is necessary.\u00a0 Having benefits of your own will enable you to get the treatment you need and it will also help a settlement or judgment add up well in the future.\u00a0 The price that commercial health insurance, Medicaid or Medicare pays for treatment is usually significantly less than the self-pay price.\u00a0 It is often possible to negotiate with insurance companies about the amount of their subrogation claims in addition to negotiating with hospitals and doctors.<\/p>\n
Even if you have no insurance of your own to pay for treatment you do not have to give up on getting the treatment you need to recover from your injuries<\/strong><\/p>\nWhenever an injury victim does not have health insurance, it can be expected to change the choices he or she makes about treatment.\u00a0 After any life-threatening conditions or broken bones are dealt with at the hospital, you may still have significant problems.\u00a0 The most common injuries after a motor vehicle accident are neck and back injuries.\u00a0 Most neck strains or sprains are treated by physical therapy or by chiropractic.\u00a0 There are advantages of each and both types of treatment are widely accepted.\u00a0 Most doctors and insurance adjusters like physical therapy better than chiropractors.\u00a0 They hold physical therapy in higher esteem.\u00a0 I like to think the doctors are primarily concerned about the welfare of their patients so they usually recommend the more traditionally accepted treatment, physical therapy.<\/p>\n
There may be different motivations for insurance companies\u2019 general preference for physical therapy over chiropractic.\u00a0 Chiropractors often treat longer and have larger bills than physical therapists.\u00a0 It is common for physical therapy to be done in two to four weeks.\u00a0 Often chiropractors treat for two to three months.\u00a0 In my experience, it is more likely that reoccurrence of pain is more likely if treatment is cut short.\u00a0 It can also be a problem if a chiropractor continues treatment for an excessive amount of time.\u00a0 After six months of treatment, it is usually not beneficial to continue doing the same thing if a patient\u2019s condition is not improving.\u00a0 The goal is to have an appropriate amount of beneficial treatment with an appropriate bill.<\/p>\n
