Q. The child was in a car seat — is treatment still needed?
Once the bodily injury claim is filed, the insurer pays the treatment costs directly to the clinic. The proportion of fault is looked at when setting the settlement sum, and no co-payment for treatment arises.
📝 Detailed Answer
Traffic accident treatment costs are paid directly to the clinic by the insurer under the Guarantee of Automobile Accident Compensation Act. So where the bodily injury claim is in place, the guardian does not pay the treatment costs separately.
The proportion of fault is looked at when calculating settlement sums such as compensation for pain and lost earnings. It has no effect on the child receiving treatment.
Even if the claim number has not yet been issued, you can be seen. Tell us once the number comes through, and reception will guide you through the procedure.
