Delayed Medical Attention After a Car Accident

Answer:

We had a client call us last week. He was involved in a car wreck on Washington Road. He asked us whether he could pursue his car wreck case if he did not seek immediate medical attention. If you’re reading this, you may have similar questions. Many clients believe their sore and the soreness will go away after a couple of days or a couple of weeks, and when it doesn’t, they seek medical treatment. They wonder whether the delay in seeking medical treatment will bar their case against the person who caused the accident. The answer is no. If the person involved in the wreck was injured and the doctor or medical provider relate the injury to the car wreck, then that person can go forward and present a claim to the other person’s insurance company for personal injury in the car wreck case. If you have any questions, please feel free to give us a call. We’d be happy to talk with you.
