Medicare Can Ruin Your Accident Lawsuit- Find Out How

By Gerry Oginski

ADVERTISEMENTS

Did you know that if Medicare pays for medical care that you received because of someone else's wrongdoing, and you then bring a lawsuit seeking compensation for your injuries, Medicare has a legal obligation to make you repay them?

Let me repeat that and explain. Let's say you're in an accident caused when a driver crossed over the double yellow line and hit you. You're in the hospital for weeks and Medicare pays your bills. If you now sue the driver of the car that caused your accident, Medicare will come to you and your lawyer and say "Pay Up."

The government wants their money back if you get money from the person who caused your injuries. Depending on how much money you get and how much money Medicare paid, we can, in some cases negotiate with Medicare to reduce the amount that they must be repaid.

To learn more, click here to watch Gerry's informative video.
