Insurance paid the bills, so you figure there’s nothing to go after. The other driver’s insurance company is counting on you thinking exactly that.
Before you let it go, text me a picture of one of your bills. Five minutes on the phone, and I’ll tell you whether you’re really out anything.

$53,000 paid by health insurance. $25,000 in car insurance. No underinsured coverage.
Beth was in the hospital for days after her wreck. Her health insurance paid more than $53,000 of her medical bills. The other driver had only the state minimum of $25,000 in car insurance, and Beth had no uninsured or underinsured motorist coverage of her own. After all of the bills were paid, she still walked away with nearly $15,000 in her pocket, tax free.
Every case is different. A past result does not guarantee the same outcome in your case.
Your insurance paid. The driver who hit you didn’t.
You paid the premiums on that insurance for years. The driver who hit you hasn’t paid a dime. Tennessee law doesn’t let them off the hook just because you were responsible.
The bills were never the whole story
Your health insurance paid the hospital. It didn’t pay you for the pain, the work you missed, or the months you couldn’t do what you used to.
Medical malpractice cases follow different rules. If your injury came from medical care, see the medical malpractice page.
