Can my health insurance company take part of my personal injury settlement? | Sherrod & Bernard, P.C.

When a personal injury case is settled, the clients are often surprised when their health insurance company seeks reimbursement for medical bills. It pays on their behalf as a result of their injuries. The answer to this question is found in the language of health insurance policies which allow health insurance companies to assert reimbursement claims against the proceeds of personal injury settlements. It's important to note, however, that while all health insurance policies have reimbursement language, not all health insurance companies are able to seek reimbursement. Understanding who is entitled to reimbursement in a personal injury case can be a complicated issue.

Luckily, the experienced attorneys at Sherrod & Bernard can advise you on the relevant law, protect your settlement from the unintended outcomes of health insurance reimbursement claims and maximize your personal injury recovery.
