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.

M.C.New Braunfels, TexasUPDATE 6/4/2020: I love the staff, clinic, and mostly treatments at New Braunfels Auto Accident Injury Chiropractic. The staff make you feel like part of the family. The clinic is clean and organized. I treated at New Braunfels Auto Accident Injury Chiropractic for Sciatica and could barely stand up from sitting position. Within two week I was able to stand without extreme pain. I treated for eight weeks and was released. After my plan was complete I decided to keep treating under chiropractic because I feel so much better.

W.W.New Braunfels, TexasHonestly, I usually never put review up but this place is great. I run track and in the separate events of when I almost broke my neck from high jump and hurt my leg from running, The doctors and therapists really helped me get through that in order to get back into running shape as soon as possible.
