There is something called a letter of protection or a LOP which basically is signed by the client and often your lawyer. That document basically says that the doctor will treat you; however, the injured person is promising to pay the medical bill from any settlement of the lawsuit. Many doctors in the community will treat patients on a LOP. You do still owe the money if you lose your case, legally, but this gives the injured person the ability to get treatment, to claim the bills for the treatment against the other side, and to pay the medical bills later, once the case is resolved.
