Tampa Lawyers Give Ways to Escape Medical Debt

    TAMPA, FL, June 08, 2015 /24-7PressRelease/ -- Medical debt can be crushing for Americans dig out from under. NerdWallet Health estimates that about 20 percent -- or 56 million people aged 19 to 64 -- struggle with higher than expected medical bills, putting an enormous -- and unforeseen -- strain on their budgets. While health insurance is designed to protect against this event, about 10 million adults accumulate medical bills that they cannot pay down each year.

No one plans to get sick or injured. Unexpected medical expenses can send an individual into a tailspin of financial distress that results in bill collectors that call their homes at all hours of the day and night -- and even go so far as to harass them at work. Payment plans that are worked out with the healthcare provider can leave patients strapped for cash. In many instances, medical facilities will not even accept such an arrangement without an agreement for a sizeable monthly amount.

Medical bankruptcy is a legal answer to this common conundrum -- and it is one that Americans are turning to more and more often. NerdWallet states that number one reason for filing for bankruptcy is now due to medical debt, displacing credit card debt as the top reason for doing so. The bankruptcy procedure is a complex one that should only be undertaken with the counsel, guidance and expertise of a law firm that has years of such experience.
