Injured in a car accident and it is THEIR fault?

Here is my advice

A. Demand a police report!!
B. Get THEIR insurance, vehicle and personal info
C. Demand an ambulance!!
D. Request to be taken to a PRIVATE hospital
E. Never and I mean NOT ever tell the people at the hospital or at the scene the following:

  1. You are a veteran
  2. You have health insurance
  3. You are on Medicare/Medi-Cal
  4. You get healthcare through VA or any govt. benefit
  5. You get healthcare through your employer
  6. You are prescribed any controlled substance as Vicodin

Just LIE as necessary about 1-6 above

The reason?

You are the INNOCENT injured party, put the economic burden all on THEM, put as much money as possible in YOUR pocket, not hospitals’, not government agencies’, not insurance companies’, but YOURS!!

The insurance company may offer to pay YOU directly for the hospital bill…I would KEEP the money and not pay!!

If you tell the hospital you get treatment at the VA, the hospital will try to collect from the VA and the VA will likely pay and put a LIEN on your insurance claim and you won’t get any of that hospital money in YOUR pocket!!
