Injuries, Medical Bills and How They Will Be Covered
Getting proper medical treatment and timely access to critical rehabilitative services are quite rightly the primary concerns in the immediate access of a serious injury.
Unfortunately, the American health care system does not favor victims and families. Even in the best of circumstances, with great health insurance and a straightforward path to rehabilitation, it is a complex system that too often makes victims and families fight for their rights.
But in cases where an injury results from the alleged negligence and liability of a third-party, victims and families are often quickly overwhelmed. At Hoy Law, our Sioux Falls personal injury lawyers believe everyone deserves immediate access to an experienced Sioux Falls personal injury law firm capable of quickly moving to protect their rights.
Life savings treatments should not be optional. Critical and timely rehabilitative services should not be delayed. That’s why at Hoy Law we accept cases on a contingency basis, which means you pay no upfront costs or fees. We are paid based on a percentage of a settlement or verdict we are successful in winning on your behalf. We will move immediately to protect your rights. And we don’t get paid until and unless you get paid.

Non-Economic and Economic Damages
Your Sioux Falls personal injury lawyer must build a comprehensive claim for damages that includes both economic and non-economic damages. These may include:
- Cost of emergency services
- Hospital costs
- Doctor bills
- Anesthesia costs
- Rehabilitative care
- Physical therapy and rehabilitation
- Counseling
- Pain and suffering
- Emotional distress
- Lost wages
- Disability benefits
- Long-term care
- Home care
Among the most overlooked responsibilities of your chosen Sioux Falls medical bill lawyer is to properly calculate a fair-value claim for all of the damages to which you are entitled.
What if you need additional medical care because of future medical complications? What if your earning capacity is diminished? What if you become disabled after you settle your claim? Your chosen law firm must have the experience, and the access to the financial and medical experts capable of building a claim to fairly compensate you for all losses.
In many cases, it will be necessary to negotiate with both the insurance companies and the hospital or treatment provider, to determine the fair value of a claim. Failure to reach an agreement before claims are paid can leave victims and families exposed to thousands, or even hundreds of thousands of dollars in excess medical claims, which can quickly exhaust a damage award meant to ensure a family’s financial stability, and may even lead to bankruptcy.
