In a car accident settlement does the insurance company pay the medical bills separate, or do they include the medical expenses in the pain and suffering check?

Dear Anonymous,
When you receive a settlement, you are releasing the insurance company from any liability they could possibly have to anyone….including the medical providers that treated you.
A settlement assumes that you will pay any and all medical bills from the total that you receive. Therefore, when you consider acceptance of a settlement, you and your attorney together must review what you will actually receive less medical bills and attorney’s fees.
