If you have been injured in a car accident, you are likely dealing with pain, stress — and a lot of unanswered questions. At Fountain Hills Law Firm, we help accident victims understand their rights and recover the compensation they deserve.
Here are some of the most common questions we get from personal injury clients:
Can I Get a Rental Car After an Accident?
Yes — if the other driver is at fault, their insurance should cover your rental car. If there’s a delay in accepting liability, we can often help you get into a rental through your own coverage (and seek reimbursement later).
Do I Have to Pay My Hospital Bills Right Away?
Not necessarily. In Arizona, hospitals can sometimes file liens against your settlement instead of billing your health insurance. This can be complex — and expensive — without legal help. We negotiate hospital liens to reduce your out-of-pocket costs.
Can I Get Medical Treatment If I Don’t Have Health Insurance?
Yes. In many cases, we work with doctors and specialists who provide treatment on a lien basis, meaning they wait to get paid from your eventual settlement. You get the care you need now, without the financial burden.
What Is Health Insurance Subrogation?
If your health insurance pays your medical bills, they may later demand reimbursement from your settlement. This is called subrogation, and it can seriously cut into your recovery — unless your attorney negotiates it properly. We know how to reduce or eliminate these claims.
What Is “Diminished Value”?
Even after repairs, your vehicle may be worth less than before the crash. This is called diminished value. We fight to make sure you’re fully compensated — not just for repairs, but for value lost.
