How do you file a claim to collect for damages if the responsible business has gone bankrupt?
Even if the company is now bankrupt they probably had insurance when they were in business but you will have to find out the insurance company. Try to contact the attorney that is handling their BK and notify him that you have a claim. Your best action is to file a claim with your insurance carrier and let them go after the other party. How this will affect your rates depends on the policies of your carrier. Ask your insurance agent.

What happens to your warranty when a company goes bankrupt?
If the Bankrupt company is just the retailer then the warranty is still covered by the manufacturer. If the manufacturer goes bankrupt then the retailer covers the warranty. The seller is responsible for a warranty. Clearly if the seller is the manufacturer and they go bankrupt then it's most unlikely that the warranty will remain in force.
Does any hospital take any insurance?
No. If the hospital has a contract with the insurance company, they will take care of filing the claim. If not, they will bill you and you will have to get reimbursement from the insurance company. Also, if it is a contracting provider, they have agreed to a total amount to be charged for various procedures and if the bill exceeds that amount they will write off the remainder. If they are not contracting, the insurance will still pay only the amount they think is a fair charge, less your deductible or copay, and if the hospital bill is more, you are responsible for paying the rest.

Can a hospital send a bill to collections before the insurance company the hospital is a preferred provider for settles with the hospital?
Yes the hospital may send you to collections before your insurance settles on an account. In most states the hospital is not actually required to even file your insurance, however, they do as a courtesy. Even when the hospital does file your insurance if they make a mistake and your claim is denied based on this mistake they can not be held liable and are not required to fix the problem. It is now the patients responsibilty to get the itemized statements and get them to the insurance company.
