Best Answer

People who become disabled from an illness or injury are generally elibible for SSD or SSI depending upon their individual circumstances. When a person qualifies for Social Security Disability benefits they can usually receive early Medicare and/or Medicaid. Visit the Social Security Administration website or call 1-800-772-1213 for information about qualification requirements and the application procedure. Please be advised there is a waiting period after the application has been submitted. For job related injury or illness the person should also contact the Workman's Compensation Insurance provider for his place of employment. http://www.ssa.gov Note that the waiting period for Medicare for disabled people is 2 YEARS...for for that period the disabled are on their own as far as medical care goes

You have an insurance policy which explicitly spells out what is insured and what kinds of claims you can make, so you might want to read your policy, but I can tell you that the purpose of homeowner's insurance is to protect you from financial loss resulting from damage to, or theft of the property in your home; it is not medical insurance and does not pay medical bills of whatever sort.

Should a lawyer get a percentage of the medical bills if the money was paid by the client before they hire the lawyer?

No, of course not. If the insurance company already paid the medical bills, then obviously you didn't need a lawyer's help to get them paid. Therefore, they are not entitled to a percentage of something they had no part in recovering.
