If your own, they are entitled to your medical bills if you want them to pay them under the Personal Injury Protection coverage of your policy. If the other driver's carrier, they are only entitled to medical records and bills that are related to your injuries or related to prior injuries to the same or similar body parts injured in the collision. However, they are not entitled to get the records themselves without a signed medical authorization, or if a lawsuit is filed, a subpoena.

The plaintiff had the right to sue. Modern American law also allows such a law suit.
