A party injured by the wrongful conduct of another is entitled to be compensated for all costs of medical treatment that they receive. The jury instruction describes what damages you can recover for medical treatment. This is true even if your insurance pays for your treatment. You may have an obligation to repay your insurance company for medical bills they paid if you recover in a legal action. Some examples of the types of medical expenses you are entitled to recover in a lawsuit as damages include;

• ambulance

• follow-up care- doctors visits
• physical therapy
