November Library Items: A Focus On Slip And Fall Accidents in Pennsylvania

All in all, 17,000 people in the United States die from a slip or fall each year.

This month, we took a closer look at how you can prevent slips and fall - especially for those over 65 - as well as how to determine who was at fault in regards to your slip and fall incident.

General

Q.  If medicare paid my medical bills for the treatment I needed due to someone's negligence, does Medicare get reimbursed for their payment?

A.  Yes.  Under the Medicare Secondary Payer Statute when Medicare makes a payment for medical services received as a result of an injury caused by another party (automobile accident, medical malpractice, slip and fall etc) medicare has a right to recover the payments.  Any payments made by Medicare must be accounted for because the law makes the injured party or their attorney liable to repay from any settlement. 

Does it cost me anything to consult with you about a potential case?
