Generally speaking an injured party is responsible for paying their own medical bills until the case is settled. Some businesses carry a no fault coverage rider on their policy that may cover your medical bills until the case is settled. This is similar to the no fault provisions on car insurance policies (Personal Injury Protection in Oregon). You should inquire of the adjuster for the store's insurance if they have such a policy. If not your or your private health insurance will be responsible for the medical costs. If the case is settled or decided in court in your favor, then the defendant will have to reimburse you for your costs as well as your pain and suffering.
