Gomez Law Firm: Secure Your Compensation With Expert Legal Help

It costs nothing to hire a Personal Injury attorney. At Gomez Trial Attorneys, we offer free consultations to evaluate each individual case. We operate on a contingency fee basis, which means that we only get paid if you win or settle and charge a percentage of the awarded amount at the conclusion of your case.

In California, a medical lien is a legally binding contract with a health care provider that agrees to perform their services with the understanding that payment will be made after you resolve your Personal Injury claim. By agreeing to a medical lien, the health care provider performs their services without expecting immediate payment. The provider receives their payment once you receive a settlement or a court award. If you do not win your case, you will owe the health care provider for their services. However, your attorney will likely be able to negotiate a reduction of your bill or a payment plan.

Under the Personal Injury laws of California, a victim of an accident is entitled to reimbursement of medical expenses from the party who caused the accident. However, these expenses are not paid as you incur the costs. Instead, your expenses are included in the settlement amount received for the accident. Until the claim is resolved, you are responsible for the payment of all expenses. If you have health insurance coverage, your health insurance will likely cover the medical expenses from the accident. However, you remain responsible for any copays and deductibles. Additionally, your health insurance company will expect reimbursement of any medical expenses it covered related to the accident when you receive your settlement award.
