text: help!! got in a car accident, sending bills to lawyer but got a letter from collections today?? ok so i met with my lawyer once who said send him all the bills...he never said anything about paying them he just said send them directly to him..well today i got a letter from collections..i assumed he would take care of bills are something..help?? is this normal? sending bills to lawyers is normal, but a collection agency bill is not?  ask your lawyer what is going on?  has he filed suit? ask your insurance agency are u paying my medical bills---if full coverage they will then sue the other company, that way u do not need a lawyer.
