Value, bills and timing

Who pays my medical bills while I recover from a Texas car wreck?

Matthew Graham Answered on video by Matthew Graham, Managing Litigation Attorney

The short answer

Injured clients of our firm are told not to worry about who pays for treatment while they recover. Managing litigation attorney Matthew Graham tells viewers in the 2026 clip to leave the bills for later: they wait until the case ends, when providers are contacted and negotiations begin. Meanwhile our team helps you find care.

“All of those bills due will wait and will be just pending, essentially, until the case is over”

Key points from Matthew

  • Bills that come due during treatment wait, in Matthew's words pending, until the case is over, so clients can focus on getting better.

  • When the case ends, the firm contacts each medical provider and negotiates the best possible resolution of the bills owed.

  • Our team finds a medical facility for you, finds the care you need and keeps track of your care so your questions get answered.

  • Care and the legal work move together: while treatment continues, evidence and information get gathered, and the case is presented once treatment is concluded.

How bills are handled while you heal

Matthew says the biggest worry he hears from clients is who will cover the bills during care. His answer is that clients can set that worry aside, because the amounts owed simply sit in a pending status for the length of the case instead of becoming something you chase.

He describes a system the firm has used so many times that it knows every step. You are cared for medically while the legal side moves on its own track. When treatment ends, that preparation lets the firm present your case, and only then does the work on those bills begin.
