In the normal case, the car insurance company just has to pay your 20k health insurance deductible. Again, the article just waffled on about some ToS without explaining how the plaintiff ended up in this situation
- FireBeyond 2y agoUhhh, if your health insurer has a target with verified liability, they absolutely can, and will, if they deem it worth it, go after that party if your healthcare costs "fall through" to them. Otherwise it's a simple rort. Because after all, -you- are paying for your healthcare through insurance, directly or indirectly.
- NavinF 2y agoWhy is that first line relevant? Is the insurance company suing Uber? That would be a more interesting lawsuit. And no, this is not a "simple rort", whatever that means. In general you can only sue for actual damages. Eg the 20k deductible you had to pay and some more for emotional emotional distress, lost wages, and such.
- FireBeyond 2y ago> In general you can only sue for actual damages. Eg the 20k deductible you had to pay and some more for emotional emotional distress, lost wages, and such. Right. And your health insurer is free to sue, if they do pay for your care, for their actual damages caused by the liable party...
