Who is responsible for paying my medical bills after an accident?

If you were hit by another motorist in the accident, that motorist should be held responsible for compensating you for your medical expenses. Of course, pedestrian accident claims can take months or years to resolve. In the meantime, you may have other options for paying your medical bills. Those options include turning to your own health insurance policy. You may also be entitled to seek compensation under the Med Pay coverage in your own auto insurance policy.
