Frequently Asked Question
What is the price to see an Accident doctor?
No out-of-pocket expense! Our policy is that we wait for the payment to come from the insurance provider. Our doctors will wait for the settlement of your personal injury case and then provide you with legal services on a lien.
Our aim is to have each patient pay nothing! Our Accident Doctors want to remove any financial barriers so that injured patients can focus on their recovery instead of worrying about paying for treatment. Insurance covers the cost.
The other driver had no insurance. How will my bill be paid?
In this case, it would be the uninsured motorist insurance on the vehicle that was occupied by you who would be ultimately responsible for paying your medical bills. Med-Pay would also cover treatment if you have it on your car. PIP would cover your entire medical bill if you were involved in an accident. PIP coverage is mandatory in some states. However, Georgia is not one of those states. Many people move into the area from states that require pip, so it’s still enforce on their policy.
When I use the auto med pay coverage to pay for services, will my premiums rise?
No. Law prohibits your insurer from raising your premiums when you are not at fault. For a standard rate hike, which affects everyone’s rates, your premiums could go up. You should not see your premiums increase if, on the other hand, you have filed a claim for medical payments or uninsured drivers.
Do I have to go through the referral process?
No. We will schedule an appointment with you if you want to know if Accident doctors can help. You can also get a free consultation from our accident doctors.
What is one mistake that most injury victims make when they are injured?
Delaying treatment is one of the most common mistakes that accident victims make. Pain often takes days or even weeks before it appears after an incident. You can get an early diagnosis of the severity of your injuries by visiting an Accident doctor. In the ER they may have prescribed you pain medication or muscle relaxing drugs. While muscle relaxants and pain pills may offer some relief, the only thing they do is mask your pain.
What is a Soft Tissue Injury?
Auto accidents often result in soft tissue injury. Even though they don’t involve broken bones they can still cause micro tears of the muscles. This serious injury has a common name, “whiplash,” and requires immediate attention. Soft tissue injuries are among the most common problems that our doctors deal with.
What are the causes of soft tissue injury?
Strain/sprain soft tissues are caused when the affected area of the body is over stretched and moved with great force. It causes a micro tear of the ligaments or muscles, which is usually an incomplete tear. Your injury may not be as serious as you think. That is why it’s important to see an Accident Doctor right away.
The emergency department said I was fine. After the pills were finished, the pain returned. What can I do?
“No broken bones” does not mean “no injury”. Painkillers and muscle relaxants only treat the symptoms. They do not solve the problem. Our doctors will address the root cause of your problem.
I told the officer I was fine at the time of the accident but was in pain the following morning.
Many people injure themselves in accidents but do not know about their injuries for many hours or days. This will not affect your personal injury case unless the person has never seen a doctor. It is important to consult a medical professional after an accident. Also, make sure to retain a business card with the case number for the police report from the officer.
What will I experience if I don’t receive any treatment?
This can lead to chronic pain in the neck, back, and shoulders, as well as headaches and dizziness. These symptoms may progress into early spinal arthritis. It is common for injury victims to settle claims before being examined by an Accident Doctor who specializes in Douglas auto accidents injuries.
