Were you injured in a car crash and are you wondering how important it is to continue your medical care after the crash?
Hi, I’m Brad Parker, the attorney you want, but hope you never need. Give me 60 seconds and I’ll tell you, from my perspective, how important it is that you continue with your medical treatment.
So, you’ve been involved in a car crash and you’re injured but not sure if you really need to go to the doctor and continue with your care. The simple answer is absolutely yes—go to the doctor! If you’re hurt, you need to be treated. The insurance companies look at it this way: If you’re not hurt bad enough to go to the doctor, then you’re not hurt bad enough to make a claim.
If you are hurt, it’s imperative that you get the right treatment and that you follow through on the treatment that’s prescribed to you. Whether that’s physical therapy, occupational therapy, follow-up doctor’s visits, injections, etc. It’s absolutely imperative that you do that. I know it can be a drain on your time, and you often think that you don’t need to do it, but if you have a serious injury, you absolutely want to get it cared for.
