Why You Should Seek Medical Attention After An Accident

Anyone involved in an accident should seek medical attention immediately

, even if they do not think they are injured. Accident victims often sustain hidden injuries that don't have immediate symptoms. In addition to diagnosing and treating these hidden injuries, a doctor's examination can help ensure you receive the compensation that you deserve if you choose to file a personal injury lawsuit. Ask your doctor to perform a thorough examination in order to fully document your injuries, and answer all of your doctor's questions as honestly and accurately as possible. This medical documentation will serve as evidence of the severity of your injuries at trial, and will be used as a basis for the calculation of damages.

Your doctor's physical examination, laboratory tests, and all other diagnostic findings will serve as evidence in your personal injury case. The doctor's testimony can help demonstrate to the judge or jury the extent of your physical injuries. If, after visiting your doctor, you are still experiencing pain, you should seek the advice of a medical specialist, such as a chiropractor, neurologist or orthopedic surgeon. The diagnoses and treatments offered by these specialists will also serve as evidence of your injuries at trial.

Medical treatment, especially treatment by medical specialists, is expensive. However, incurring these costs is necessary to prevail in a personal injury case. Your attorney will include the costs of hospital bills, doctors' bills, and prescription medications in the damages you seek from the person responsible for causing your injuries. Often, your attorney can negotiate with doctors and medical specialists to wait for payment until you receive compensation in your case. In any event, it is never a good idea to fail to get medical treatment directly after an accident. Without evidence of immediate medical treatment, your case could be lost.

If you negotiate with the insurance company of the person that caused your injuries, you will most likely not receive full compensation for all of your losses. Instead of talking with an insurance adjuster yourself, seek the legal services of a personal injury lawyer who knows how to deal with insurance companies. You attorney will be able to negotiate a fair settlement with the insurance adjuster and resolve the case, while you focus on your recovery.
