Three reasons to see a doctor after a car accident

On Behalf of | Aug 26, 2021 | Car Accidents |

Most Lawnside area residents will be in at least one car accident during their driving career. Car accidents are just a fact of life and luckily most of them are just minor fender benders. If a driver has been in a car accident they may wonder if they should go see a doctor. The following are three good reasons why a person should visit a doctor after a car accident.

Analyze injuries

If a car accident victim is wondering if they should visit the doctor, it probably means their injuries may not seem severe or that they don’t have any. If an accident victim feels any pain or discomfort, they should seek medical care as soon as possible. A doctor can examine and identify any skeletal or soft tissue damage that may cause a long-term injury.

Insurance claim

A doctor’s visit can help a car accident victim expedite their insurance claim. Most insurance companies expect accident victims to visit the doctor within 72 hours of the accident. By visiting the doctor an accident victim is communicating to their insurance company that they have been injured and are seeking assistance with these injuries.

Legal claim

If a person was in an accident due to no fault of their own, timely medical care can help a victim when negotiating with an at-fault party’s insurance company. A comprehensive medical record made promptly after an accident can prove that an accident victim has a legitimate claim.

A legal professional who is skilled in personal injury can help their client after they have been in a car accident. They can make sure their client receives appropriate medical care and can help figure out what happened and who is at fault. Compensation may be available for medical expenses, pain and suffering, lost wages and other damages.
