Medical bills for the healthy, uninjured American have skyrocketed over the course of the last decade. The average American with low-cost, minimal insurance coverage through what was formerly known as the ACA pays their premium just to cover the cost of a yearly physical or a flu during flu season.
After an accident it’s important to remember that insurance companies are not your friend. No matter how nice their representatives may sound over the phone, or when they meet with accident victims face to face, this tactic is a falsehood. Insurance companies use smiling faces, glowing reviews, and savvy advertising to trick accident victims into thinking they’re on the same side. And victims should never fall for it!
There are a dozen or more television commercials warning patients about the complications that come with “Hernia Mesh” and the life-threatening side effects they posed to patients who have undergone hernia mesh surgery. Patients have sustained such a staggering number of injuries over the course a decade that the safety of hernia mesh devices as well surgical procedures used to place them has been heavily criticized and patients warned off undergoing the surgery whenever possible.
After an accident that results in a physical injury to the victim, the first step in the recovery process is medical stabilization. Medically stabilizing the victim after a serious car, motorcycle, or other accident should be top priority, and the focus until the patient is well enough to transition home from the hospital. Once the victim has been stabilized medically, it’s easy to paint the picture of wellness and moving forward with a restored quality of life. However, this should not be mistaken as the case.
