Answer

The responsibility for paying medical bills after a car accident follows a structured order based on state insurance law and the coverage available.

1. Your Own Auto Insurance (PIP / First-Party Medical Benefits)

2. Your Health Insurance (Secondary source once your PIP coverage is exhausted or does not fully cover your medical expenses)

3. At-Fault Driver’s Liability Insurance

4. Other Potential Sources of Payment (i.e. Worker's Compensation, Government Programs)
