QUESTION: There is a potential lawsuit involving an auto accident. The other side claims he had 10 fractured ribs on the left, fractured left shoulder, right leg behind the knee injury. His attorney said his medical bill was over $400,000. I don’t think it is out of pocket expense. He is 74 years old and should be covered under Medicare and possibly private medical insurance. How do you determine the damage they can go after? Is it non reimbursed bill he paid out of pocket or it can be reimbursed.
