Getting paid for providing medical and child care for insurance claim?

Question

my son and his gf were in a severe car accident and she received injuries requiring surgery and is now no weight bearing for 8-12 weeks because my son works 12-16 hours a day i have stepped up and taken charge to provide her home health care and childcare since she is unable to care for 7 month old son. ( this allows her to still be round the child instead of him being at a babysitter away from mom) her parents havent done anything to help and the other drivers insurance has gotten snotty with me regarding the claim. do i submit a bill to our attorney or directly to the other drivers insurance or will i have to sue my sons gf for payment?

Answer 1

YOu are not the only one,I have ever met the similiar problem before.I have good experience here though.http://health-insurance.online-tips4u.in...

Answer 2

Your wanting to sue your sons girlfriend for helping her out in a crisis? Wow what a great mother you are. Not to mention greedy.  Why not just consider what you are doing as a good thing. No one is going to pay you for helping out. Not the gf, not your son, and DEFINETLY not the insurance company.

If you don't want to help for free you shouldn't have volunteered

Answer 3

That's why we pay car insurance. Let the car insurance investigate or let the attorney handle the case. Besides you volunteered to help. I hope you did it with the good intentions of a grandmother and not the money. I would not interfere between your son and his girlfriend. Your playing with fire.

Answer 4

If you have not been trained or accredited in the duties you speak of, you may have trouble collecting monies, especially I would think if you are related.  If the gf gets a settlement, hopefully she will pay you.

Answer 5

I assume that the other party involved was at fault for the accident.  What have they told you?  How have they become "snotty"?  You cannot get direct payment for the insurance company.  You are not a party to the claim.  You can have your son's girlfriend submit your request for reimbursement, and they MAY reimburse you/her for your services.  However, it is doubtful since you probably do not have any accreditation for either of the services you are providing.  If they accept this request,  it will be included in the final settlement.   If you live in a state that has PIP coverage, some PIP covers Replacement services.

No, you do not sue your son's girlfriend for your services, especially if she did not ask you to provide these services.  

If your son's girlfriend has an attorney, perhaps she should discuss this with them.
