Those injured in car crashes are often left unsure of what their next steps should be. The most important thing is your health. If you’ve been involved in a car crash, you should seek medical care and treatment to make certain you are okay. People often do not see a doctor even if they are in pain because they presume the pain will go away. Unfortunately, this can be highly damaging, not only to one’s health and wellness but also to a personal injury claim.
The Florida personal injury lawyers at Hersh Kirtman Injury Law have experience helping clients who have been injured in accidents. If you do not seek medical treatment after an accident, or if you delay seeking medical treatment, it may impact your personal injury claim.
Your Healing Starts With Justice
Delaying medical treatment after an accident in Florida can impact both your health and your personal injury claim should you choose to pursue one.
It is not uncommon for victims of accidents to go through a period of shock following the incident. As a result, victims may not immediately appreciate the symptoms of their injuries. Also, some injuries may not present themselves immediately after the accident, and the symptoms may not become prevalent until days or weeks after the fact. Lastly, some presume that the immediate pain, discomfort, and tightness that is common after a crash will simply go away with time.
Unfortunately, this often leads to accident victims not immediately seeking medical treatment. If you were involved in an accident, it is crucial that you seek medical care as soon as possible after the incident occurred. It is important that you get the opinion of a medical professional who can provide you with the advice and medical care necessary in the event that you are injured. Seeking medical care can best ensure that you get the necessary care to recover and avoid any worsening symptoms that are to come.
In addition to delaying and potentially harming your recovery and health, if an accident victim delays medical care after an accident, this may also have a negative impact on their personal injury claim. A victim’s treatment, and the medical bills and records that arise from that treatment, play a vital role in the case. Treatment demonstrates the existence, nature, and severity of the victim’s injuries and damages. If an accident victim delays getting medical treatment, an insurance company and the attorneys it hires will attempt to use that to suggest to a jury that the victim was not, in fact, hurt. They will use that to minimize the damage and harm suffered. This can affect your ability to recover damages for medical expenses, past and present lost wages, pain and suffering, and other losses you may have suffered.
