Any auto accident injury caused by a third party, which requires medical care and treatment, is considered under a medical lien. A medical lien may cover many auto accident injuries, including car and motorcycle accidents. Here is a list of some of the injuries that may occur during an auto accident, which a medical lien may also cover:
When an auto accident is not a person's fault, there are steps to take to have the treatment covered by the responsible party or their insurance. The initial step is to file a personal injury claim with an attorney, which may result in a medical lien against the responsible party. According to the American Bar Association, "you have a negligence claim in a 'fault' state if you are injured by a driver who failed to exercise reasonable care because drivers have a duty to exercise reasonable care anytime they are on the road" (americanbar.org, 2016).
Typically, an attorney will facilitate the medical lien and work with the responsible party's insurance company to negotiate the amount covered. Essentially, a medical lien enables the injured person of the auto accident to have their medical care paid for by the other person's auto insurance. Also, medical liens allow the injured person to seek immediate medical attention without waiting months to receive their benefits.
Truly doesn't get better than this. Hands down best staff all around. These folks helped me from absolute step 1 after being involved in a car accident. Dr. Edge made me feel at ease with the entire process when no one else seemed to want to answer questions. I could not recommend this place enough!

I have struggled with TMJ pain for a long time. After my first session with Dr. Edge, my pain was reduced. After the second session, my pain was completely gone!

Began working with the Elevation team after my vehicle was struck by another. I had both back and neck pain that they helped to improve. Due to the nature of the injury, pain persists, but between the chiropractic adjustments, deep tissue massage, physical therapy, and accupuncture they were able to bring my pain from a 9/10 all of the time down to a 3-4/10 most of the time. Truly wonderful folks, I'm glad I was able to work with them. It has been 6 months and I'll continue to work with them because they're so great! Thanks Elevation, you are amazing!

Dr. Edge is a great doctor. He was very thorough and got to the root of my issues unlike other docs in the past. Haven’t experienced relief of pain like this before, he simply goes above and beyond. 10/10!
