Yes, they are recoverable. Most states recognize what is called the "Collateral Source Rule". That rule prohibits the defendant from benefiting from your foresight in purchasing health insurance. While the defendant may not benefit from your foresight, expect your health insurance company to have a subrogation lien, meaning that at the end of your case, you will need to reimburse them for payments they have made due to the auto collision injuries. I suggest you consult with a Georgia attorney to determine what you may need to reimburse the health insurance company under their subrogation lien.
