How to Get Reimbursement for Medical Treatment After a Car Accident

A road traffic accident (RTA) can lead to serious physical injuries that require long-term treatment, rehabilitation, and significant financial costs. Ukrainian law grants accident victims the right to reimbursement of medical expenses, but in practice, receiving compensation can be challenging.

Lawyers at the “Legal and Realtor Association of Ukraine” will help you receive full reimbursement of treatment expenses, even if insurers or the at-fault party try to avoid liability.

Who Is Obligated to Reimburse Medical Expenses After an Accident

Treatment costs may be reimbursed from the following sources:

• The at-fault driver’s insurance company – within the MTPL policy coverage

• The at-fault driver – if the compensation amount exceeds the insurance limit or no policy exists

• Your own insurance company (CASCO or personal health insurance) – if you hold such a policy

• The Social Insurance Fund – if the injury occurred while on work transport or business travel

• The carrier (if you were a public transport passenger) – if the accident involved a bus, taxi, or other public vehicle

Which Medical Costs Are Eligible for Compensation

The law allows for reimbursement of:

• First aid and hospitalization

• Surgery and inpatient treatment

• Purchase of medications and medical supplies

• Rehabilitation and physiotherapy

• Prosthetics and orthopedic treatment

• Psychological support in cases of emotional trauma

What to Do to Get Treatment Compensation

To ensure your right to reimbursement, follow this clear procedure:

1. Call the police and an ambulance – official documentation of the accident and injuries is key evidence

2. Undergo medical examination – even if injuries seem minor, you need an official medical report

3. Save all receipts and invoices – every treatment-related expense must be documented

4. Obtain a copy of the accident report – this confirms your involvement and victim status

5. Contact a lawyer – an attorney will help gather all documents and file a compensation claim
