What if another driver\u2019s negligence caused a crash that left you and your passengers injured and in need of medical treatment? Would you know what your car insurance<\/a> policy covers? What if you ended up in the hospital, surrounded by doctors, and in pain?<\/p>\n\n\n\n If you are the injured victim in an accident<\/a>, you will need to seek treatment as soon as possible. When that happens, you can\u2019t help but wonder about the ramifications. Do you have to pay for treatment and medical care?
