If you or someone you care about was injured in a car accident in South Carolina, you may not know where to turn for guidance. The stress of medical expenses, doctors’ appointments, and possibly not being able to return to work can be a lot to take on, especially if you are also trying to negotiate with the at fault driver’s insurance company to receive a full, fair settlement. Our South Carolina car accident attorney is here to help you.

We offer free consultations and would be happy to answer your questions. Our office is conveniently located in Columbia, and we have been proudly servicing clients throughout the surrounding areas. Contact us online today or call us at 803-790-2800.

First, if you have Medicaid in South Carolina, you should use it to pay for all medical bills related to your car crash. Second, the Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS) - which runs our state's Medicaid program - will seek to be reimbursed for the money it spent on your medical treatment. With that said, I would much rather you owe Medicaid $3,000.00 than a hospital $30,000.00. In addition, DHHS will reduce the amount of money you have to repay them out of your settlement by at least 25% if you have a car accident attorney.

So in sum, the answer is "Yes." If you currently receive Medicaid benefits, and got in an auto accident in South Carolina, you should be able to receive the medical treatment you need, but not at a cost that will swallow your entire settlement. I have represented a number of Medicaid recipients in personal injury cases, and would be glad to answer any questions you have.
