Why You Should Get Immediate Medical Attention After a Car Crash
Drivers involved in accidents often disregard the need for medical attention if they feel fine at the scene of a crash. Regardless of how bad the accident may have been, the car accident attorneys at Gomez Law Firm stress the importance of being checked by a doctor as soon as possible following your accident. It is not only in the best interest of your health and wellbeing, it is also crucial should you need to file a lawsuit against any at-fault drivers in your accident.
The consequences of even the mildest injury may well arise down the road, so it is best to check your physical status at the earliest opportunity. Insurers are always looking for ways to cut victim payments short or not pay at all. Without proper medical assistance at the scene, you give the insurance company fuel to claim you did not suffer injuries and deserve no compensation.
Every single medical report, every scan, and every paper can be used as evidence in the court of law and can provide substantial assistance in retrieving the proper compensation from the insurance company. Therefore, it makes sense to call an ambulance and have some scans done immediately. If you have medical insurance, you can put it to good use by taking the CT scanning in order to determine what kind of issues you may be dealing with immediately and into the future.
