Confused. How did she not pay for it if she caused it? Is this just a major fuck up on your part for not holding her to account? I've never been in a wreck but my car has been hit in parking lots and I've never paid a dime, always the person at fault.
Not who you are responding to, but it happens all the time. Idiot driver is uninsured so there's no insurance to pay the bills. Or they are under-insured and their insurance will only pay a fraction of the bills. What are you going to do? If you can afford it, you can sue them and maybe get some money out of them, but unless they are rich the odds are you won't get enough wealth to pay the bills either. And if they are rich, they'll tie you up in court for so long that your credit will be destroyed and you'll run out of money to keep paying your lawyer to keep suing them.
None of this would be an issue if the medical bills were covered by single payer. I learned in other countries there’s no “ambulance chasers” because there’s no reason to have them - a whole parasitic industry nonexistent.
She eventually did, but her insurance company fought it for a long time.
