  • Where I live, the victim needs to send the bill for their physical treatment to the insurance company of the person driving the car. It is required by law to pay it (with some help of a government fund) if there is an official insurance claim. After that it’s up to the victim to decide whether or not they sue for more, and the insurance company whether or not they want to get their money back because they think the driver was endangering others (mostly trough court).

    This makes it so:

    • the victim will ALWAYS be reimbursed for physical treatment
    • the victim can’t scam for profit
    • the victim can still sue if needed

    It is still possible to fake hospital bills and stuff, but then it becomes fraud which can get you in jail. And it most likely wouldn’t even work.

    I find it weird that it is even possible to make money off this stuff in some countries.
