What if I can't pay for treatment?

You should go to the doctor as long as your injuries bother you, or until the doctor says he has done all he can do and you’ve gotten as well as you’re going to get. At this point, the doctor typically releases you from his care. Unfortunately, medical treatment often takes time to produce results and is expensive.

Lack of money should not prevent you from getting the care you need for your injuries. Often, if the doctor realizes that you are represented by a lawyer, he may wait until your case is settled to be paid. Some doctors, however, cannot afford to wait until the conclusion of your case. An attorney may be able to find other available funds, such as med pay coverage, which will allow you to complete your treatment.
