Will my own car insurance pay any of my medical bills?
Most car insurance policies have a medical payments provision. This is essentially a health insurance policy on your automobile which will pay your medical bills up to the policy limits of the coverage without any deductibles or co-pays. This coverage applies no matter who was at fault. However, if another driver was at fault for your accident and you pursue a claim for injuries against the other driver or his insurance carrier, your insurance company would likely be entitled to ask for repayment of any bills it paid under the medical payment coverage from your settlement with the other driver.
