Blue Ridge GA

FAQ

How much would it cost?

No out-of-pocket expense! Our policy is to await payment from the responsible insurance company. This means we wait for your personal injury case to settle and treat you on an attorney’s lien.

Our goal is for each patient to pay absolutely nothing! Our Accident doctors want to eliminate the financial barrier so the patient can focus on getting well, instead of worrying about how they are going to pay for treatment. The cost of treatment is paid by auto insurance or attorneys lien.

The other driver didn’t have any insurance. How will my bills be paid?

In that case, the uninsured motorist insurance on the vehicle you occupied would ultimately be responsible for your medical bills. If there is Med-Pay coverage on your vehicle, it would help pay for treatment as well. PIP, although not required in Georgia would pay for all your medical expenses relating to the accident as well. Many people move to Blue Ridge from states that have mandatory PIP that may still be active.

If I use my own auto med-pay coverage to pay for care, will my premiums go up?

No. If you were not at fault, your insurance company should not raise your premiums. Your premiums may go up for a standard rate increase, for which everyone’s rates increase. However, if you file a med pay claim or uninsured motorist claim, your premiums should not go up

Do I have to be referred?

No. If you would like to see if our Accident doctors can help, give us a call and we will set up an appointment time for you. We will also offer a free accident doctors’ consultation.

What is one of the biggest mistakes that injury victims make?

Delayed treatment is a common mistake that victims make. Often, it takes hours, or even days for pain to appear after a car wreck. An Accident Doctor can determine early on the extent of your injuries, if you come see them now. If you went to the ER, you may have been prescribed pain medication or muscle relaxers. While pain pills and muscle relaxers may provide some relief, they only mask your pain.

What is a soft tissue injury?

Soft tissue injuries are commonly seen in auto accidents. While they do not involve any broken bones, they do create a micro tearing of the muscles, tendons, and ligaments. This injury is commonly known as “whiplash”, if it involves your neck, and immediate treatment is needed. Soft tissue injuries are the most common issues our doctors treat.

How do you get a soft tissue injury?

A strain/sprain soft tissue injury is caused when the affected body part, such as the spine for example, is forcefully and suddenly moved and over stretched. This causes a micro tearing of the muscles or ligaments, and the tear is usually a partial incomplete tear. You may not fully realize the significance of your injury, and this is why it is so important to seek an Accident Doctor Immediately.

The emergency room said that I was OK. But when the pain pills ran out, the pain came back. What should I do?

Pain pills and muscle relaxers only cover the symptoms and do not fix the problem. Our doctors find the root of the problem and address it.

At the scene of the accident, I told the police officer that I was OK, but the next morning I was in pain. What should I do?

Many people are injured in accidents, but are unaware that they are hurt for hours, even days. This does not affect your personal injury case unless you do not see a doctor. Seeing a doctor is the single most important thing you can do after a car crash.

What will happen if I don’t see an accident doctor?

Any injuries you have, may turn into chronic problems. Too many injury victims settle their claim without being checked out by an Accident Doctor who deals with Blue Ridge auto accident injuries. Make sure to call the doctor first after you have been hurt.
