In stories like this... I assume the patient was billed due to some automatic bureaucracy?

  In this question, how does "some automatic bureaucracy" differ from simple normal functioning of businesses?

    In no way. What I'm trying to understand is if the bill was written, 'knowing' that the same ambulance hit the patient. I mean, it would be so absurd. Some sort of fraud. I imagine the ambulance trip is registred at the hospital at arrival in some procedure and then billed the patient in some automatic manor.

    > In this question, how does "some automatic bureaucracy" differ from simple normal functioning of businesses? If you mean what you wrote, "normal", then I'd say yes -- it does matter a lot, but if you'd mean "healthy", then I'd say that it shouldn't matter at all.

  Their lawyer probably would have insisted they bill it like any other run. Not doing so could be construed as admitting fault.

    > construed as admitting fault They gonna argue he wasn't hit. Come on

    Isn't there a risk for other charges though doing that? Like hitting him on purpose to earn money? I wouldn't want to explain this for a jury as a lawyer.

    Which is why we need to have laws that you pay double or more damages if you try such tricks.
