What if my medical bills exceed my settlement?

If your medical bills exceed your settlement, several options exist. First, medical providers and lien holders often reduce their claims when settlement funds are insufficient—they'd rather accept partial payment than nothing. Second, your attorney can negotiate reductions, explaining that the available funds don't cover all damages. Third, you may have personal responsibility for any remaining balance, though providers sometimes write off uncollectable amounts. At Kane Trial Law, we fight for settlements that fully compensate you and negotiate aggressively with medical providers when bills exceed available funds.
