Who will pay my medical bills?
If you are not at fault for the accident, it is a general rule that the other driver's insurance company (or the other driver, if he or she does not have insurance) is responsible for paying any medical bills you may incur. However, even if you are at fault for the accident, your auto insurance company may cover a portion of your medical bills depending on the type of coverage you have.

What is pain and suffering?
Pain and suffering refers to both physical and mental distress suffered after an accident or injury. You may be entitled to collect a monetary settlement awarded for pain and suffering if you are in an accident that you did not cause and suffered either mental or physical pain (including the loss of enjoyment of life) as a result of your injuries. Our personal injury lawyers can help. Don't hesitate to contact Melrose, Seago & Lay today.
What if the other driver doesn't have auto insurance?
If the driver at fault for the accident is uninsured, he or she is ultimately financially responsible for covering the damages to your vehicle, as well as paying for any medical bills you may have. In addition, most insurance policies have uninsured motorist coverage. If you have elected to pay for this coverage, then your insurance company will cover a portion of the bills that have resulted from the accident. Contact our North Carolina auto accident lawyers today for more detailed information about the specifics of your case.
What information should I collect at the scene of an accident?
If you are involved in an accident, it is important to obtain the other driver's name, address, and insurance information. Also, pictures of the accident scene can be very important later, during the litigation of your auto accident case.
How long will it take for my case to settle?
The time it takes for your case to settle depends on several factors, including:
- The extent of the damage to all vehicles involved
- The extent of the injuries suffered by all parties involved
- The cooperation of the insurance companies
