After an accident, your health should be your top priority. Many people make the mistake of delaying medical treatment, which can not only harm their health but also negatively impact any potential personal injury claim.
Why Immediate Medical Care Matters
Protecting Your Health
Some injuries aren't immediately apparent. Internal injuries, soft tissue damage, and even some fractures may not show symptoms right away. A medical professional can identify these hidden injuries before they become more serious.
Documenting Your Injuries
Medical records created shortly after an accident establish a clear connection between the incident and your injuries. Insurance companies often scrutinize gaps between accidents and medical treatment.
Starting Your Recovery
The sooner you begin treatment, the better your chances of a full recovery. Delayed treatment can lead to complications and longer healing times.
