Any auto accident injury caused by a third party, which requires medical care and treatment, is considered under a medical lien. A medical lien may cover many auto accident injuries, including car and motorcycle accidents. Here is a list of some of the injuries that may occur during an auto accident, which a medical lien may also cover:
When an auto accident is not a person's fault, there are steps to take to have the treatment covered by the responsible party or their insurance. The initial step is to file a personal injury claim with an attorney, which may result in a medical lien against the responsible party. According to the American Bar Association, "you have a negligence claim in a 'fault' state if you are injured by a driver who failed to exercise reasonable care because drivers have a duty to exercise reasonable care anytime they are on the road" (americanbar.org, 2016).
Typically, an attorney will facilitate the medical lien and work with the responsible party's insurance company to negotiate the amount covered. Essentially, a medical lien enables the injured person of the auto accident to have their medical care paid for by the other person's auto insurance. Also, medical liens allow the injured person to seek immediate medical attention without waiting months to receive their benefits.
Hands down one of the best experiences I’ve had with a doctor. From the time I walk in I encounter nothing but kindness, Kelcey is so welcoming. Dr. Travis is so gentle and knowledgeable, he is so kind and easy to talk to. He has relieved the pain I’m experiencing from a car wreck. He is the only chiropractor I’ll trust from here on out. This office has surpassed all my expectations. I wish all doctors offices treated patients the way this office does.*

I found Dr. Travis via a referral from my most recent chiropractor in Dallas. I've used a few different doctors for my back problems (whiplash etc) and Dr. Travis was definitely the best. He's very knowledgeable about all things medical of course, but what struck me the most is how I could go in during a treatment and mention (very vaguely I might add) where my pain was that particular day, and he could not only pinpoint the issue, but also treat the problem and I'd leave having the pain immediately resolved. He's an amazing doctor in that sense, but he is also very empathetic and kind. I highly recommend going to see Dr. Travis if you're having back issues.*

Dr. Travis is really a "feel better" doctor. After a car accident he has helped me feel so much better. Very kind office support ladies as well. Very accommodating for an almost closing time appointment. I'm so grateful my friend recommended him to me!*

I have gone to Dr Travis as well as my daughter. My daughter got in a car accident and Dr Travis restored her from the harsh impact. I’m not the most consistent patient but he always picks up on what I need. Definitely worth the trip.*
