Motor vehicle accidents are common and medical care can be very expensive, however you probably already knew that. But how much, exactly, does medical care after a motor vehicle accident typically cost? Let’s take a look.
Of course there are going to be many variables here such as the extent of the injuries and the course of treatment. But here are a couple of statements we found in our research:
“According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, the average cost of medical treatment for a car accident injury is around $15,000. This can include the cost of hospitalization, surgery, rehabilitation, and other medical expenses.” – Source: https://lawyers.law.com/legal/medical-visits/average-cost.html
