Today we want to take a closer look at something that happens far too often after somebody has sustained an injury after an accident: the fear of insurance not being able to cover everything. 20-year-old Mitchell Reidy met this reality recently when his insurance ran out, only to find that it wouldn’t start again until September. As a result, he’s missing out on care that he absolutely needs after a traumatic brain injury.
His parents say that he’s trapped in a body that doesn’t want to work, as he tries to regain his ability to walk after the accident that caused him a brain injury and more. The accident happened in February 2017 when he was headed back to campus in Florida Atlantic University when he was struck by a vehicle in a hit-and-run.
Many people struggle the same way after hit-and-run accidents when liability is not so clear for an accident. As a result, many patients find that they must return home at some point, which could mean other expenses that they can’t afford. Like Mitchell Reidy and his family who struggle to determine if they can pay out-of-pocket for expenses in the meantime, many families struggle the same way.
Hit-and-run accidents are extremely serious and can change lives in a drastic way that nobody prepares for.
