When you should see a doctor
It is a good idea to see a doctor quickly after you have been involved in a car wreck. The insurance company will look at your treatment and when you first went to seek medical care. If you wait too long, your medical care may not be paid for. It is possible you may have to pay out of pocket. This is what is called a gap in medical care or treatment. A gap in medical care is frowned upon by personal injury attorneys. It shows that you waited to see a doctor and does not give much credit to your injury claim.
Your injury also needs good documentation from a doctor. If you have a personal injury lawyer, he will need this documentation to present a case. No documentation, no personal injury case. There are many doctors who can handle injuries. Not all of these doctors know how to document those injuries for a lawyer. You must get this to prove your injury came from the car wreck. These injuries can be hard to prove. Let’s say you had an incident at work and hurt your back a year ago. You need to disclose this to your doctor so he will know about it. Your current injuries need to be separated from your pre existing injuries.
