How Long Do You Have to See the Doctor After an Auto Accident?

You should seek medical attention as soon as possible after a car accident. If you do not require emergency medical treatment, you should visit a doctor or urgent care clinic within 24 hours of an accident.

Inform the health care provider of your injuries and how they occurred.

The longer you wait to seek medical treatment and the more time that passes, the more likely an insurer is to question your injuries and whether they were related to the accident. It is important to seek prompt medical treatment.

Communicating with Your Medical Provider

When you see a doctor, you should list all of your injuries related to the accident. Do not try to minimize or shrug off any injuries.

You also should inform the health provider of any pre-existing conditions that you had. In some instances, an accident can aggravate a pre-existing condition, making it worse.

Should I Go to an ER After an Accident?

Seeking medical treatment should be your first priority after an accident. If your injuries are serious, you should go to the hospital and seek emergency medical care.

If the injuries that you sustained are life-threatening injuries, you may be transported by ambulance from the scene of the accident to the emergency room.

A doctor’s report provides independent documentation of your injuries. Medical records will be useful if you need to file a personal injury claim.

Insurance During a Personal Injury Claim

If you have health insurance, you should have the doctor and hospital file claims with your health insurance initially.

If you are injured in the workplace, you may be eligible for workers’ compensation benefits. You should report the accident to your employer and seek workers’ compensation benefits that pay for work-related injuries. If your employer disputes your right to receive workers’ compensation benefits, talk to a knowledgeable attorney at Younce, Vtipil, Baznik & Banks, P.A. about your rights to compensation.

You should seek all of the medical care that you need and keep copies of your bills and insurance statements.

Who Handles the Medical Bills from a Personal Injury Accident?

You may assume that the insurance company of the individual or business that caused your injuries should pay your ongoing medical bills. But, the other party’s insurance does not pay for your ongoing treatment.

When an at-fault insurance company agrees to settle a claim, the insurer only makes one lump sum payment to cover your medical bills and related losses, typically after you have completed your medical treatment.

In the meantime, you do not want your medical bills to be sent to collections or turned over to a debt collector if it can be avoided. You want to file claims with your health insurance.

Our attorneys at Younce, Vtipil, Baznik & Banks, P.A. can help hold the insurance company accountable and help you pursue full compensation for your losses.
