Who Pays For Medical Bills After A Skiing Accident?

Skiing accidents often result in high medical bills for injuries like fractures, sprains, or concussions. Figuring out who pays for these expenses can be confusing. Here’s what you need to know:

1. Your Health Insurance

Your health insurance will typically cover your immediate medical costs. However, if someone else is at fault for your accident, your insurer may seek reimbursement through a process called subrogation.

2. The At-Fault Party

If another skier, snowboarder, or the ski resort caused your accident, they may be responsible for your medical expenses. You may need to file a claim against their insurance or pursue legal action to recover damages.

3. Liability Waivers

Many ski resorts require liability waivers, but these often do not apply in cases of gross negligence, such as faulty equipment or poorly maintained slopes.

4. Personal Injury Claim

If another party’s negligence caused your injuries, you could file a personal injury claim to recover compensation for medical bills, lost wages, and other damages.
