The Health Insurance Company Is Refusing To Pay My Deceased Parent’s Hospital Bills

The Subrogation Letter
Many health insurance providers have a subrogation clause in their contracts. This essentially means that if someone is injured in an accident where there is another form of insurance present, then that other insurance should pay - not your health insurance. For example, if a motorcyclist was involved in an auto accident and broken their leg, they would be required to make a claim against the negligent driver's insurance policy to pay their doctor bills.
In situations where the patient's injuries were so severe they dies as a result of their accident, subrogation can still occur. This might seem insensitive, that the victim's mourning relatives must now make a wrongful death claim against the at-fault party's insurance policy; but the sad truth is that insurance companies are a business. They put profits before people. If you receive a subrogation letter from your loved one's insurance provider, then I highly recommend that your contact a board certified personal injury attorney immediately.
Regardless of the circumstances, whether you or someone you love is injured in an accident attributable to someone else's negligence, it is always wise to call a Fort Worth accident and injury lawyer as soon as possible so that you can make an informed decision about the best course of action to pursue in your personal situation.
