Medical Attention After a Car Accident in Houston – What You Need to Know
If you were involved in a car accident in Houston, seeking medical attention isn’t just critical for your health—it’s essential for your legal case. At Gomez Law Firm, we help injured victims protect their rights from the moment they leave the crash scene to the day they receive compensation.
Why Medical Attention After a Crash Is So Important ?
Even if you feel “okay” after a crash, internal injuries and whiplash symptoms can take hours—or days—to appear. Insurance companies often try to deny claims where the injured party didn’t seek medical care promptly.
Common injuries that may not show up immediately:
- Whiplash
- Concussions or mild traumatic brain injuries (TBI)
- Spinal cord trauma
- Internal bleeding
- Soft tissue damage
When Should You Go to the Emergency Room?
You should go to the ER immediately if you:
- Lost consciousness or feel dizzy
- Have neck, back, or chest pain
- Can’t move limbs or feel tingling
- Can’t move limbs or feel tingling
- Have deep cuts, swelling, or trouble breathing
- Were involved in a high-speed crash or rollover
Houston ERs like Ben Taub, Memorial Hermann, and St. Joseph’s are prepared for auto trauma. Save all discharge papers and medical bills.
How Your Medical Treatment Affects Your Injury Claim
Why It Matters to Your Lawyer
When you visit the ER or a physician after an accident:
- You create a medical record documenting your injuries
- You strengthen your case by showing the crash caused real harm
- u make it harder for insurance to argue that you “weren’t hurt”
Delayed treatment = lower settlements.
Don’t give insurers an excuse to minimize your pain.
Who Pays for Emergency Room Bills After a Crash?
In Texas, the at-fault driver’s insurance is typically responsible. However, medical billing may involve:
- Personal Injury Protection (PIP)
- Health insurance (if used)
- Letters of protection (LOPs) through your attorney
We handle the complex billing issues so you can focus on healing.
