Q: injured party can’t afford treatment from a specialist not car related.Can that be used against the Plaintiff in court
Treatment is very expensive. Is there something that can help the plaintiff if you ran threw every type of account that you own
A:
A Virginia attorney could advise best, but your post remains open for two weeks. If you have an attorney, this is something they could answer best, as the reimbursement of car accident-related medical expenses will depend on the jurisdiction (no-fault, non-fault, combinations/variations thereof) and the person's policy. That's not to deflect your question - but only a local attorney could advise meaningfully on that.
As for the specialist, I'm not certain what you mean. There are medical specialists who handle orthopedic care/surgery who don't fall into a niche of "car accident" doctors, but who handle general serious physical trauma. It sounds as if you've depleted your available insurance resources - maybe you or your attorney (if you have one) could look into other options, such as whether you qualify for state-based coverage. Seek some guidance who can navigate the medical system - these situations can be difficult. Good luck
