Are my medical bills included in my car settlement?

Generally, yes. If your medical provider filed a lien (to protect their claim), the insurance company is required to include their name on the settlement check. Not all hospitals file liens immediately in car accident cases though.

I always advise my clients to pay off any outstanding bills out of the settlement.
